So I read a topic on Nairaland where the president of Nigeria said:

“More than 60 percent of the population is below 30, a lot of them haven’t been to school and they are claiming that Nigeria is an oil producing country, therefore, they should sit and do nothing, and get housing, healthcare, education free.”

This is coming after some ministers had blamed those Nigerians without jobs for their predicament.


It only goes to show that a leopard never changes its spots. The man looks upon Nigerians with disdain. As the man was in his first coming, so is he now, and so will he be if he comes in again.




I'm not surprised; this isn't new.

Fela said it back then, at great risk to his personal safety -


"My people are use-e-less,
My people are sense-e-less,
My people are indisciplined,

Which kain talk be dat o...
Na animal talk be dat...
Na craze talk be dat...

...

Many things Fela said in that song - where those who know nothing about human rights want to dash us human rights - are playing out right before us.

How can a despot lead us in a democracy? How he wan take dash us democracy? Remember Za-Zaky has since been freed by a court of competent jurisdiction? The despotic regime will have none of that.


All said, this was another monumental diplomatic blunder, and more will come to remind Nigerians that they remain in his scorn-zone while the greatest corruption of all - nepotism - rides roughshod in impunity over the country's commonwealth.
