When Mother Nature Makes a Choice, Perfection Is Always at the Centre of It

By Omiye Olatunbosun

I think Mother Nature is doing a reset in the Nigerian system! Recent events seem to suggest that a quiet but powerful correction is underway — one that cuts across class, influence, and perceived immunity.

Take, for instance, the Kwam 1 saga. It was more than just a social media uproar; it carried a coded message. The lady pilot who spoke up — herself the daughter of a former senator — represented a rare moment of courage and principle. She stood her ground, not minding the weight of the personality involved. That alone was nature’s way of whispering that times are changing — that influence no longer guarantees silence or submission.

Then came Yerima’s confrontation with the minister — another symbolic event. Yerima, the son of a powerful general, stood toe-to-toe with authority. Again, the message was clear: no matter your surname, your connections, or the corridors you walk through, there are limits. There is a line you do not cross.

Both moments — the pilot’s and Yerima’s — reflect a deeper rhythm, an unseen force restoring balance. They remind us that Nigeria’s old system of untouchables is gradually losing its grip. It’s as if nature is using unlikely messengers from within the elite to reset the moral compass.

Sometimes, people lose sight of boundaries because of status, power, or the illusion of permanence. But nature has its own way of correcting imbalance. It doesn’t shout; it simply aligns events so that the truth surfaces and order returns.

When Mother Nature makes a choice, perfection is always at the centre of it — and perhaps, what we are witnessing in Nigeria today is her subtle perfection at work.
