If heaven knows no rage like a woman scorned, members of the House of Representatives’ ad-hoc Committee probing the near collapse of the Nigerian Capital Market, saw first hand last week, the rage that can be displayed by big ladies who chose to go after one another’s jugular. This was no ordinary rage.

It was not as if the outcome of the subsidy probe was exactly pre-empted, but even before the Farouk Lawan Probe Committee of the House of Representatives embarked on the energy sapping , fact-finding exercise, many Nigerians had known that there will be culprits.

All I can I say is that we have been overwhelmed into insensitivity by sheer excess. I have studied very carefully those figures and I have had to take a couple of aspirins after every paragraph, after every figure to ask and pinch myself; are we really living in the real world? Or whether this is some kind of fantasy world which is projected onto the pages of newspapers.

I don’t think Jonathan can do anything to those cabals because some of them are his friends. Ever since Jonathan assumed the office as the number one citizen of the country, there have been several probes. We heard about power probe which they didn’t come out with anything tangible.

Yes, the subsidy probe and all its attention is a welcome development. But I’m not too enthusiastic about the outcome bearing in mind how the outcome of similar probes has gone!
