we can't afford it, we can't afford it.

oh, we definitely can't afford it ...

this is a chorus common among members of government in Nigeria, claiming we can't afford good infrastructure, water and so on, claiming that Nigeria is a poor country.

fine


so if Nigeria is indeed a poor country, then why doesn't this reflect in allowances given to members of government

Nigeria is broke, yet they change their furniture every year, while poor Nigerians call carpenters to fix theirs.

Nigeria is broke, yet the buy brand new tear rubber SUVs each year, while poor Nigerians struggle to their roadside mechanics to keep their dated cars going.

Nigeria is broke, yet the fly in private jets, while poor Nigerians queue for BRT and the likes.

....


all this is done with the little money we have


one would think that since we are a poor country, this fact would also reflect in governance. for instance, an official car for a member of government should be a second hand Toyota corolla, since we are poor.

how does using our money for their furniture benefit us

how does using our money for brand new SUVs benefit us


we need to start sacking government officials one by one, or will they kills us

I guess they will also use our money to buy bullets to shoot us



I am tired of being raped by greedy politicians in Nigeria, are you

that question is for buhari and not nairalanders.
