Those familiar with road travel before fancy luxury buses and jeeps displaced wooden-back Bedford light trucks, famously called mammy wagons, might remember this ubiquitous message in cursive, bright colours scrawled on the rear and sometimes on the sides of trucks plying highways in Nigeria’s South-East: “No condition is permanent.”

For a man used to luxury, used to power, who had, for years, been in the corridors of power, mingled with raw power, exercised raw power, risen to the highest pinnacle in his country’s financial system, seen raw cash, the manner in which Godwin Emefiele, until the evening of Friday, June 9, 2023, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, was arrested, was humiliating.
