Sam Omatseye What a year it was for him, and what a year it was for us as a nation. We were heading towards an election, but we could not move. We had legs, we had cars, and we had time, but we were at a standstill. Standstill was a crossroads. Our cash was not our cash because Muhammadu Buhari and Godwin Emefiele held them. Our fuel did not flow to cars. They said they were changing currency. But the caterpillar could not become a butterfly. We were caught in transition. Poverty was defined not by what you had but what you had. A millionaire begged in vain for N5,000. A millionaire queued in vain for a quarter of fuel in his car tank.
