She's absolutely correct. Both the men and the women are into politics to amass wealth and not that they have any vision moving this country forward. Was Allison Madueke, the Senator from Anambra which I have forgotten her name now, were/are they men. I'm so convinced that a woman without vision and ideology will be worse if given the opportunity. 36 Likes 6 Shares |

we already know. even female politicians are the worst. their first casualty is their husband, then the masses. Finally Nigerians deserve the kind of politicians they get.

My sign off speech as the former President of my country...... in my dreams. There is nothing automatic about having a second term. Some of you might say it’s a big surprise. It is a privilege to serve one’s country. And if you have the privilege of serving your country for one term and you believe you have done your best, you have to thank God for that. Excerpts....... Once an appointee is relieved of his appointment, mournful glares compete on burrowed foreheads, languid expressions of personal losses dominate discussions among beneficiaries or intended beneficiaries of loot from a public office recently lost. Lots of motives, from ethnicity to religion, to personal scores and political intrigues are adduced as reasons why the appointor must have terminated the appointment or disengaged the public office holder. In my situation, messages of consolation and clear condemnation oozed from some mouths the moment it was announced that a new nomination had been made. It was a terrible distraction as I was struggling to imbibe as much as possible from the highly intellectually resourceful lecturer that was handling the on-going session. Calls came into my phone in torrents. Loads of messages poured into my phone with the constant flashes of light from the mobile gadget constituting a needless distraction until I had to switch it off. I contemplated what could be the problem with my people sympathizing disengagement from office as if it was a deprivation of valuables by armed robbers or loss of an edifice to a raging inferno. What mentality dictated the somber and lugubrious feelings being expressed by some friends save for a few others whose dignifying understanding of political appointment is superb enough to appreciate that it is merely an opportunity to serve and no more? That you were considered worthy to serve the public in an elective or appointive office is an opportunity to give your best to the community to the benefit of the living and in preparation of a decent living for the yet unborn generations. It must not be regarded as a kingship on which someone should expect life tenure. It is a temporary occupation of office that must terminate one day, either scheduled statutorily or otherwise. It is only when we realise this that the humanity in us shall radiate to the uplifting of our society. It is at such point that our sense of uprightness can compete with that of people of other climes. This can only be guaranteed when politicians and political appointees prepare themselves for self-sustenance in and out of office with what I call an “alternative address.” The concept of alternative address is a legitimate business or vocation from which one can pay one’s bills conveniently without expecting loot from a public office. It is a platform, the proceeds from which can sustain you and your family needs whether you are in office or out of office. This has been my advocacy in the last decade and the earlier the voters appreciate this, the better for our nation. In fact, as may be recalled, during the resistance to my nomination at inception, I clearly made this point that “I am not jobless and, therefore, not in search of any appointment.” I only owe the nation my service whenever called upon and I have the capacity to deliver. Having alternative contact address is the only thing that will make you comfortable as not to pander to enticing suggestions of unscrupulous elements who would justify their greed with you-profit-from-where-you-serve mentality and disposition. It is only this that can shield you from the rapacious tendency to dip fingers of larceny into the public cashbox. You must have an alternative address so that you do not join those you condemned before you had the opportunity to saunter into public office. 2 Likes 1 Share |

It's really a two way street. The way politics is played in Nigeria gives little or no room to serve except you want to damn the consequences. People supported your candidacy and so expect something in return. You have to oblige. Those you cannot give positions get rewards in cash and kind, how do you go about it without stealing. If you decide to serve damning the consequences, you would face a lot of sabotage that would make your work seem non existent. At that point you have either continue working or just take what you can and move. PS: Men and Women alike loot in politics. 1 Like |

Most women are also like that. Gone are the days when women are willing to serve. Many of them even use their pussy to gain political prominence. Everyone is looking for money. Many married woman involved in politics cheat on their husbands with political party leaders. |
