WHY DO WE KILL OURSELVES FOR
NOTHING!!!!!!!
A House of Assembly Member in his first
year receives N100Million for constituency
project. In the second year, he receives
another N100Million. In his third year, he
receives another N100Million. In the fourth
year, another N100Million. He has officially
received N400Million on your behalf! This is
outside the numerous kickbacks and loots he
has received from projects he had influenced
into the state budget for this period. Five
months to the end of his tenure, he calls for
an 'empowerment' programme. He buys 50
okadas, 20 keke Napeps, 5 Sienna cars, 30
sewing machines, 30 I-pass-my-neighbour
generators, and gives 10k to over 20
persons. All these things are shared to only
his party faithfuls despite the fact that the
money belongs to all irrespective of party
affiliation.
Also, he mentions a number of schools he
has renovated, a number of desk he has
donated to numerous primary schools and
other 'petty' constructions which is not more
than N20Million. All these he has done
within his four year tenure. Also, he
distributes half a million Naira to party excos
who automatically endorse him for a second
term! The following week, the jobless youth
(Graduate Agberos) and miserable village
women who have benefited from the
empowerment are sponsored to come out
with placards to beg the legislator to run for
a second term. He considers their demand,
and accepts it as a sign of his excellent
previous performance. He gives them money
for transportation through a proxy and the
next week he declares for his second term
ambition. Now if you calculate all that he has
done, you will see that out of the
N400Million he has collected on your behalf
for four years, he has barely spent 15% of it
on you. You should even be thankful that he
has intention of running for a second term,
or else, you wouldn’t even have seen a
bicycle. Why should he empower you when
he does not need you again. Whatever
happens to the rest 85% or even more of the
money this legislator has received on your
behalf is not your business. After all, you did
not buy his party nomination form for him
while he was contesting, neither did you
contribute to his campaign in anyway. So
why do you think you can reap from where
you did not sow? Many Nigerian electorates
are stupid people. How can a lawmaker or
Governor buy an okada for you and you
accept it as empowerment in this modern
age. Tell me, are you not stupid? Can you
feed your family with an okada? Can’t you
see he is giving you death? Funny enough,
this practice is going on in the 774 Local
Governments in Nigeria, annually. Don't you
think that, Nigerian electorates especially the
youth that should put a stop to all this
madness are stupid and gullible?! "Quote me
anywhere". Sorry for the harsh words (just
expressing my Feelings). WE JUST NEED TO
CHANGE OUR ATTITUDE TO THINGS OF
NATIONAL INTEREST IF, OF A TRUTH, WE ARE
REALLY INTERESTED IN CHANGE IN THIS
COUNTRY. CHANGE!!!!!!......

Yeah you made good points
