I love these reviews as it leaves no doubt in my mind that the Saros are low-quality elites.
No, the traditional elites are already low-low-quality.
As ex-slaves, I do not expect much from the Saros. However, we can thank they and the British Missionaries for the spread of literacy. And that's about it.
The psychology of the Saros is survival either through wealth accumulation by any means necessary or politics or both. And they're actually well positioned to take these opportunities by virtue of their literacy and familiarity with the British system.
Their disposition towards Lagos, and Nigeria, is no different from their colonial masters' i.e. non-commital, extractive, no value-add. To make matters worse, the local traditional elites are no different. In fact, those are worse. Now, we're stuck in the perpetual dalliance of who gets a share of what between these two in the clown show we call politics. Sigh.
