He is the most powerful man in the world by
virtue of his position as president of the United
States of America. So, wherever Barack Obama
goes, he is accompanied by a huge entourage of
aides, Secret Service and campaign staff
especially in an election year.
But what most didn't expect was the president
having to handle his own cash. On Saturday, the
President went shopping at a Wisconsin store
and he appeared to bring out some wad of cash
from his wallet.
Now compare that to a Nigerian president
whom you might never find shopping nor
handling cash by himself – he has a retinue of
aides who are always at his beck and call and
never allow him carry a thing, even the pair of
eyeglasses he use.
When will we get to that point where our first
ladies will freely walk into a down town store or
super market to shop for things they will use?
Or when will the ordinary Nigerian on the street
ever get close to the president enough to shake
his hand or take a photo with him?
