Indeed, the alarming level of unemployment, destitution, hunger, feeling of alienation and hopelessness being experienced by Nigerians - that is, existential poverty in all its ramifications - indicate beyond any scintilla of doubt that members of the ruling elite entrusted with the power to manage our resources have failed abysmally - and they are getting away with it.
