It was in the year 1963 and Nigeria’s first
and only Prime Minister, Sir Abubakar
Tafawa Balewa took his annual leave and
was off to his village to spend it. Then a
British photojournalist came along but they
told him the that the PM had gone on
vacation.
The photojournalist then asked to which
country but he was shocked when they told
him the PM went to spend the vacation in
his own village. To satisfy his curiosity, he
decided to travel to the village. But on
getting to the village, there was no sign that
a big man was in town. Everyone went on
their normal business and the village was
peacefully quiet.
Then he met a farmer along the way with
his donkey carrying bales of sugarcane, and
he asked from the farmer the house of the
PM. The photojournalist was again left
speechless when the farmer told him that he
had just left the PM and that if he gets to the
PM’s house, which he described, he would
meet him sitting on the bare floor with his
kids enjoying the sugarcane that he gave
them.
The British photojournalist was dazed when
he reached the PM’s home. This is the
picture that he took. May the labours of our
heroes past never be in vain.
Today, we have vagabonds and thieves in
power. Those who disturb an entire city
with sirens and their empty noises of vanity.
Those who loot the treasury of an entire
nation and still insult our common
intelligence with their embarrassing
incompetence. Nigeria has all it takes to
become the greatest nation on earth. All we
need are visionary, dedicated and inspiring
leaders and not the shameless rogues and
incorrigibly kleptomaniac bandits who lie,
rob, cheat, rig and kill their way to power.
WHEN IT IS TIME TO VOTE, REMEMBER YOUR
UNBORN CHILDREN AND USE YOUR HEAD.
HAVE A NICE DAY.

He was killed because he used Akintola to kill many innocent Yorubas, his blood is not more precious than those innocent Yorubas he killed indirectly.

Even, ordinary councillors nowadays spend their vacation in dubai and when they are at home they instruct their guards they should turn away the very members of the community that voted to put them in power.
