The Corrupt Nigerians by Clean2016: 8:07pm On Oct 16, 2017
Who are the corrupt tribe?

Few days ago, I was at Isolo General Hospital to see a specialist since we have this belief that "the specialists are found there". (Oh, did I tell you that was the second day?)

I got there by 9 a.m (huge mistake as I was made to understand later), and I sat down there till 6pm and still was not able to see this specialist.

In front of me was an igbo woman who kept crying intermittently when someone calls her on the phone. As my gbeborun won't let me, I wanted to know what was wrong. I over heard her husband tell a Nurse that she's 6 months pregnant and her baby has just died in her womb and she needed to be attended to. I left her in that hospital, and she hadn't been attended to by the time I left at 6pm.

Next to her was a yoruba woman with her 6 weeks old baby. She had a Caesarean section and she was telling a friend that the stitch was swelling up and she needed a doctor to look at it. I also left her there, unattended to by the time I was leaving.

There was also a hausa lady who spoke less of English so I couldn't get the details of her problem.

As we were sitting and waiting, someone will come in with one patient, speak to the Nurses and her patient will get to see a doctor. We shouted and talked and would eventually sit down and wait our turns.

The Nurse on duty was Igbo (I had to speak Igbo to her at some point) and the doctor was yoruba.

I listened to Dike Chukwumerije's TEDX Maitama speech and I couldn't agree less with him.

They tell us the hausa fulani is our problem. They tell us how the yorubas betrayed the igbos. They tell us the igbos are arrogant and want to take over every land they occupy.

What they don't tell us is that corruption has no tribe. They won't tell us that the hausa, yoruba and igbo woman go to the same hospital and won't get to see a doctor because they don't know anyone there. They won't tell us that someone from every ethnic group in this nation dies everyday on the bad roads we are left with.

How can they tell us that the millions that are looted are shared among the political elites and these elites comprise of all ethnic groups?

But gullible us, we leave the thieves who have left us in this quagmire and attack each other. Well, it's the easier thing to do.

Until we understand that our problem is not our ethnic or religious differences, we won't leave this mess.
