YOU did not know there are human maggots? Look again. And think. They thrive best in the midst of decadence and social rot – just like the natural maggots.

If, like me, you sometimes have the privilege of defecating in the bush, you have probably noticed how that big green “housefly” appears from the blue to lay live maggots on your feaces.

It’s the stench that attracts it. It carefully avoids all neat places to zero in on your mess.

That’s it. All societies that make a mess of their own affairs invite a reign of maggots.

Nigeria is one.

Over the years, we have created favourable conditions for maggots to grow—- and thrive. They are revered and pampered. Even “common thieves” are elected governors over millions of straight citizens. They get national honours and have streets and other structures named after them.

Have you ever seen a lean maggot? Hardly. They are invariably fat and sleek-headed. Theirs is a life of ease unmerited. And their most developed organs are instruments of exploitation: hooks and suckers.

They never build up; they eat down, then defecate on the stratum—-environmental degradation.

One funny thing about these maggots is that they hate to be identified for what they are. They adopt all tricks in the unholy book to masquerade as upstanding men. They mouth all manner of ideals -— ideals they are too weak to eve strive for. They dab expensive perfumes to cover the stench, massage God’s ego in churches and mosques, make donations to gag the gods…

And they are ubiquitous, everywhere: maggot pastors, maggot ministers, maggot perm secs, maggot IGs, maggot governors, maggot evangelists, maggot journalists, maggot columnists, maggot judges, maggot lawyers, maggot legislators, maggot presidents…

Why won’t they keep multiplying?

Bi’le ba ngb’osika ti ko gbe olooto, b’o pe titi oore a maa suni’ise

When the system keeps favouring the crooked, with time, the straight ones give up in frustration and join the bandwagon.

That is the most tragic part—- many otherwise straight Nigerians, frustrated by the glaring impunity of the crooked ones give up and go crooked.

And society is the worse for it.

But in reality, maggots are weaklings who lack the moral fibre, grit to curtail the foibles which virtually all men share to some degree. They give their “faults free rein and thus become slaves to their vices—-especially greed.

And a nation is great in nothing if weak in character.

Unless Nigeria and Nigerians move against these maggots now, its bye to the country. It’s a battle that must not be lost.

Getting rid of maggot from any prized host (like Nigeria) is surprisingly easy: Flush with Brine. Concentrated Salt water.

Will this PDP-controlled government do it?

Funny, some maggots are reading this. Let’s conduct a simple test to know whether or not you are one of them.

Here is a mixed population of maggots and real men. Try sorting out the maggots.

Mind you, as you do that, you give a clue into where you belong:

Soyinka, Akunyili, Bankole, Fawehinmi, Erastus Akingbola, Oyakhilome, Lamido Sanusi , Anyaoku, Abacha, Ribadu, Ibori, Tinubu, Buhari, Umar, Shehu Sanni, Deziani, Babangida, Daniel, Farouk Lawan, Obasanjo...

Tambuwal has warned us all:

“….we are fighting against entrenched interests whose infectious greed has decimated our people. Therefore, be mindful that they will fight back and they do fight dirty.”

Now is the opportunity to identify these maggots through the way they rally to the defence of fellow maggots…

Is Jonathan one of them?

Time will tell.
