The Naija Lootitudes

(According to the Gospel of Naijalooters) (1) And seeing the multitudes,Corruption went up into Aso Rock; and when he was set, the politicians came unto him. And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying: (2) Blessed are the clueless in wisdom; for theirs is the Presidency of the nation. (3) Blessed are they that rig elections, for they shall be elected. (4) Blessed are the thieves; for they shall inherit the National Assembly. (5) Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after public funds; for their accounts shall be filled. (6)  Blessed are the bribe-takers, for they shall obtain in foreign currencies. (7) Blessed are the Petroleum Ministers, for they shall loot in subsidies. (8) Blessed are the bootlickers, for they shall be called the Federal "Executhief" Council.

$600,000 Bribe To One Man, Yet Majority Still Go Hungry?

In order not to further anger myself, I have refused to calculate how much $600,000 is in local currency. That notwithstanding, I am aware  of how many lives it can change. Yet, it is offered as bribe to someone, so that he can commit a crime! The person offering the bribe And the one collecting Are the same!  Guilty, no matter their excuses: "I gave to implicate" or  "I collected to expose" All are lies! This is a true case of  everything that is wrong with my country! Moneybags, who do not  have carrying limits And politicians, who for want of conscience Are planted to do the bidding of those who will rather die than to see the country get better! When my people say, that "Crises in the land is to the benefit of titled  men!" Little did I know they were talking of the entire country. The problem with Nigeria  is simple: People who are benefitting from the commotion, will never stand by and see a solution come.
