The economic situation of Ekiti State is deteriorating. The degrading situation and progress of the state is of ratio 1 to 80. It is like trying to quench a blazing fire with irregular drops of water. So disheartening to know, the proportion of economic decadence is enormously gigantic compared to the rate of development in the state. It is clear, the governments have been sailing the ship of the state without any map. The state government workers have lost the proper touch of a good directive from competent leaders. Sadly, the state lay bare just like a desert where nothing is happening. But another bitter truth is that something is happening. What? The position of the state has shifted from the fountain of knowledge to the bedrock of online scammers―'yahoo yahoo's domain. Houses and lands are rented and sold to them, goods are bought by them, eateries, clubhouses and hotels are patronised by them, even fuel at refilling stations are bought by them at about the same range as commercial drivers. In essence,  the legal economy of the state is abjectly stuck and is sustained illegally by the hijacked dollars of ‘yahoo boys’. Kudos that the entire state is not unaware of this fact! So what has been done to this menace? Absolute nothing! Except that the statesmen and elders of the state due to their failed insight to stir the course of the state rightly have lost the confidence of ridding the state off of the appalling reign of ‘yahoo boys’. But what are the implications? It means the reign of illegal and embarrassing business ‘Yahoo Yahoo’ has come to stay. It means that some days, ‘Yahoo Boys’ would by the economic input in the state contest and they might win. And then, the state is in smooth pepper soup!
My question is: how did the state get here in the first place? One can say it a million times that many factors have led the state to this economy end zone. Although the state has spent so many years arguing about which end of the egg is to be broken: the smaller end or the bigger end. Well, that factor has been the problem of Nigeria and not Ekiti alone. Primarily and basically, apart from the fact that the state allocation is meagre, all the tiers of government and the citizens have driven the state to its present economy end zone. They have done this through several factors, viz: headstrong factor, self-indiscipline factor, unneeded project factor, misplacement of priorities factor, lack of insight factor, greed factor, I-know best factor, insincerity factor, consumer-mentality factor and so on. The most painful is that, external people hold the state to high esteem while within, the state knows that those comments of fame are actually laurels of shame.
To bail Ekiti out, why don’t the statesmen first push aside the insincere propaganda game and blame game they are good at, and just find their way to the drawing board? Why don’t the state continue with their different political parties yet have and focus on one goal? A goal of investing in the health sector. The goal is called Project Classic Health. Why health? Because people cannot deny the fact that the economic value of health investment still hold sway today. Every class of humans want good health and they can go to the moon for it. But why Project Classic Health? It is simple, the absence of Project Classic Health made a sitting president in Nigerian to die in office and the presence of Project Classic Health made a sitting president in Nigeria to leave office to London for over 90 days. And when he returned, rumour has it that he has been cloned. What exactly is behind that drama and rumour of the president’s health is the power of a Project Classic Health. Project Classic Health is possible in Ekiti State. In short, it has started privately in Ekiti State at Afe Babalola University. However, that it has started in Ekiti does not mean the state does not need another Project Classic Health to increase the internal revenue, boost the economy of the state, and like, India, Germany UK, become the main hub of medical health solution in Nigeria and Africa at large.
It sounds insane, but it is like imagining a situation where all class of the human society who need superb healthcare and can afford it in the world are booking their tickets to Ekiti State. This image is amazing! It is a dream that can be realised. Although the Project Classic Health investment cannot happen in 4years or  8 years, this is where the need of one economic goal by different political parties should come in. If it does, then in 16 to 32 years, Project Classic Health will be set in Ekiti. Certainly, 16 to 32 years is quite far, but that might be if we do not believe that time flies. More so, we are not going to grow old, die and leave Ekiti like that. We are going to bear children who will stay. Candidly, there has not been any long-term economic project in Ekiti State that the present thirties and forties can thank their grandfathers for in Ekiti. No wonder ‘Yahoo Yahoo’ is the order of the day. But with the commencement of Project Classic Health, the present generation can put a smile on the face of the future generation.
