I'm still shocked that people still come out on social media to defend politicians .
Including adults, unemployed graduates who're still living and feeding from their parents.
Are you not bothered at all?
In a country where over 85 millions people are extremely poor and over 120 million are living in abject poverty?
In this same country , 108 senators appropriated 5.5 billion naira (17 million dollars) just to buy themselves brand new cars and even rejected all proposals for the new cars to be purchased from local manufacturers.
These same senators from this very poor country earn one of the highest wages in the world even more than politicians in UK, China, America etc; the same countries they borrow from.
A country that can not boast of a single standard hospital, school or airport yet is endowed with infinite quantities of crude oil , gold, coal, tin , etc ?
A country that is the 6th largest exporter of crude oil in the world but can't refine her own oil. Chaiii!
A country where thousands of children die everyday from simple malaria and diarrhea?
How many times have you condemned these selfish politicians.
What have you done from your own quarter?
I guess maybe your perspective about Nigeria and her politicians may change when you leave Nigeria.
While millions are dying , their children are overseas buying cars and houses worth hundreds of thousands of dollars/pounds and paying cash with your stolen money while you starve and defend them.
Everyday , dozens of Nigerian politicians travel overseas for medical checkup and also send their children to study abroad because they've stolen all the money meant to build hospitals and schools for everybody.
Nigeria used to send aids and foods to Ethiopia in the 90's , today Ethiopia is light years ahead of Nigeria . The life expectancy of Ethiopia is now 65.4 years while that of Nigeria is 53.4 years, 12 years difference . Before you get mad at me, just understand that the implication of life expectancy is that no matter how hard you pray for long life and prosperity, your fellow human living in Japan, UK, US etc is likely to live 25 more years than you will ever live . Imagine what you can do with 25 more years added to your life span? I'm just literally writing.
Violence is what I don't and won't support but how do I stand and watch while millions of people die every year because of the crime and wickedness of few greedy degenerates.
The northern politicians have on several occasions stood by and defended the boko haram and the fulani herdsmen who have killed tens of thousands of Nigerians, yet the southeastern politicians stood and watched while the military kill hundreds of their brothers during peaceful prayer session and protests. The nonviolent IPOB was proscribed as a terrorist group by the FG while bandits , murderers, kidnappers and terrorists are getting handshake and royal amnesty from the police and the government.
If you didn't condemn the killing of unarmed IPOB members, and you're here to condemn the assault on a politician, then you're a confused hypocrite.
The warning bell has been sounded, the message has been sent and the politicians are aware of the the ripples that will follow. Maybe , the unfortunate senator may have been one of the so called 'good guys' and maybe your favorite politician, but every flowing river has to have an origin . There will also be collateral damages. People are mentioning his scholarships and foundations as if every politician doesn't have one. Pure altruism; steal 100 , and give them back 3 to confuse them .
Power belongs to the people. All humans are equal. Let the common man be allowed to eat three times a day , have access to good schools and hospitals and live in a decent environment .
It's not too much to ask.
Before you kill me , just remember I'm fighting for you and your children.
