Interesting, how we are so quick to criticize others while deep down we as guilty of what we are so turned off about. Today's topic is really about that happened recently on my way to lagos. The passenger sitting next to me in a quick trip of 45 minuites from Benin to Lagos spent most of the discussion time complaining about how corrupt and deceptive our leaders are, how sluggish our president is,numerous reasons why this country is so stagnant, (the list continues unending). The venom of his words drove sleep from my tired eyes, the vigour at which he tried to express his anger was entertaining. Then came the twist in the story. After berating for over thirty minuites, he ended his speech by saying, ", that is why I have decided to train my children to any level so that they can be eligible to vie for big political posts. do you know these crooks were children of poor men,now their suffering has ended and their children will never suffer". This when my alertness increased, before now my mind was in more important places even though I continued the conversation with grunts and nods. If the people envy these corrupt leaders then what can our fate as a nation be? If fathers wish their children could be in positions where they would also steal money how can things change in our country? Now men go to church and mosques to give testimonies of political appointments given to them or opportunities to loot the treasury. Sincerely I would like to know how many people have this passenger's mentality? |

I am so sure that the parents of those people you ave mentioned are worshiped in Nigeria, in a society where the thieves are praised, as long as he/she can spray good money. A nation where who you are is defined by how much you have in your account. A nation where it is not what you know, but who you know. So the parents of those dudes you have mentioned will be so proud of their "thieves" oh. However, i am not sure how different i would be till i am faced with such. |
