This is Nigeria where the sympathizers cry more than the bereaved and you can’t but marvel at chameleonic and sudden metamorphic transformation of past public office holders in the Nigerian government. These were the chronic and irredeemable looters and kleptomaniacs our dear country has ever had-the magnitude and dimension of the looting is catastrophic and has left the economy and the people in prolonged comatose.

Some of these ‘heroes’ and ‘heroines’ are professional ‘armed’ robbers-they are armed with exalted offices, funds, green pens and their spiritualists. They are robbers because they have captured and stolen the future of this country and converted it to a ping-pong passed down from one generation of robbers to another generation of advanced robbers- in any case kept perpetually in the bondage of parasitic cabalistic dictators. This is pathetic.
The proportion of funds stolen and diverted to promote purses and pockets under their commands and operations is outrageous. No group of public office holders in any part of the world can rival them-they have become a reference standard in the game of mindless stealing.
They have done more damage than the whole of witches and wizards in Africa combined. They are vampires. They have sucked hopes out of the young people in Nigeria who have since forgotten about any glimmer of brighter tomorrow. These ‘heroes’ and heroines’ are worst nightmare of the Nigerian state.
Thanks to these ‘celebrities’ 10.5million children will not go to school in Nigeria-in fact, Nigeria has the highest out of school population in the world and increasing levels of pockets of violence in education underprivileged regions. Worse still, the entire university community in Nigeria has been grounded for more than 50days without any resolution in sight. Is there any hope for the youth of this country?
Due to the heartless manner and nature with which these ‘saints’ handle matters of national importance, there is a proportional collapse in the infrastructural and social amenities (if any really) in the country. Countless people have accident plane crashes more than whooping cough and malaria combined. Do we really have access to any good public utility?
Our dear ‘heroes’ and ‘heroines’ are not alone-they have wide follower ship and fans as expected. These blind and deaf followers and fans are untreatable imbeciles and morons or they are consciously helping themselves with the crumbs from the hijacked national cake-you can’t blame them because there is so much poverty in the land. Together this unholy matrimony is architectural design of our misfortune as a people blessed country with colossal poor citizens-our blessing hasn’t translated into the general commonwealth for the entire populace.
Some of our ‘heroes’ and ‘heroines’ schooled in the best schools in the world. Others are stark illiterates who can’t use the bottom of a bottle to inscribe letter ‘O’- the dumbest we ever had.
All of these people have contributed to the woes of this country!
Fast forwards, now they are out of public offices, broke and hungry-ok maybe a little broke!
Their tenure has expired and they are out of circulation. Some of them (our present ‘heroes’ and ‘heroines’) are now indebted to many financial institutions and the lenders are calling for their wives and children. Life is tough for them now. Yes, they still have few things going for them-contacts they made while in office, few currencies laundered in foreign accounts and of course a few escorts.
They have eventually returned to their abandoned houses and communities- they are now visible parts of us. Because some of them have PhD in Sociology and Political Psychology. It is easy to make a transition from villainy to heroism is very easy when you combine these disciplines with religion. They have successfully integrated and settled amongst us.
In the history of Nigeria since independence from Britain up to now nothing has out-sold religion in the country. So many evils have been perpetuated in the name of religion. Our heroes and heroism are currently taking cover under its shade cashing in on the people’s ignorance and fearful gullibility. This group of celebrities have since become advocate of social justice and equity. Some have suddenly caught strange fire and become overnight crusaders and noise makers.
They are very active on social media-obviously out of job and as such finding solace and comfort in the youth community. But we know what they are up to. What you have read thus far is the constant nightmare of the Nigerian people as batons change hands in the political space.
Fellow compatriots, best of intentions will not count if we aren’t ready to make the necessary change and wise up!
