Once some high ranked political leaders were holding a public meeting. Tables were well arranged with neat and clean white cloths, bouquet and Eva water bottles. One of the leaders started his speech.

People were listening the speech very minutely. Suddenly, a boy (maybe eleven or twelve years old) from the public, ran towards the table, picked up a water bottle and tried to run away. It happened so quickly that nobody could realise exactly what had happened!!

People only heard a sudden noise of ' hey....hey.....hey.. catch him...catch him', nothing else. Anyway, the boy was caught by the security police.

The police held the boy's hand tightly and asked, 'You stupid! What have you stolen?'

The boy said, 'Nothing.'

The police got angry and slapped the boy. With anger he shouted, 'Show me your hands.'

Now the boy was scared. He showed both of his hands. He was holding a Eva water bottle.

The police was stunned when he saw the bottle. But out of curiosity, he demanded, 'Why a water bottle?'

The boy looked at his face out of fear and stammered, 'I wanted to taste the water if it gives any special taste, whether it is the same water, like the water coming in our public pipe!!!'

The police got furious now and twisted his ear said,'You stupid! Don't you know this is pure water? The political leaders never drink the normal water that you drink. Don't you know that, you fool?'

The boy looked at him in a big questioning face and asked,'Why so ??'

But, there was no answer to his question.................................


This is exactly what is happening around us. To both Wailer and Zombies,The political leaders never drink the normal water that you drink. Get that into your skull and stop defending those who never know you exist.

You deserve a hug bro.
Partisan politics is evil in Nigeria.
I just wish the platform for local politics was modified.
Thanks for the analogy

Nice one they don't shop where wl shop,
they don't live in the hut we call home,
they don't use the same hospital we go,
they don't ply on the same road for long hour journey,
they send their kids to d same school we attend,
they don't even care we exist only during election they remember us,
they don't wear the same material we put on tho the money is for d nation.
we reverend them as god, them see us as scum.
Tho we wl all died and buried but even their grave is not the common one.

so I wondered why I wl be on social media and insult an average Nigerian like me who hasn't benefited anything from the polithievcians of this world.

I wondered why I wl abuse an average Nigerian who is on the street everyday like me..whose only hope is in God dey.

I wondered why I wl castigate an average Nigerian who d legislooters of this world denied d basic policy of better life.

To all Nigerian out there no matter ur color, tribe, or creed and religion love u cos u ar my broda and sister.

I see...

We worship them but they despise us! kudos to op

When desirable is not available, available becomes desirable.

Since our leaders are not after welfare of the masses and only play tribal politics, it is epected the madness comes down to the masses, hence we support or counter interests.

Nigerian system doesn't allow us hold our leaders accountable. Injustice everywhere. If an Igbo man protests against perceived illegality by an Hausa headfigure, it becomes tribal attack and won't be seen from rational judgement and many such cases.




Many nations progressing look beyong tribal benefits and establish institutions that will benefit the masses, take for example, in countries like USA, Italy etc, they, fully knowing what it will benefit the country and the economy in establishing a particular project in different locations will do that without considering what locality will benefit and what locality won't benefit. But in Nigerian system, a leader from a particular tribe will first consider how much a region is going to benefit from a project to know if they merit it or not and how it will empower such region. They would prefer to monopolise everything and have a bad economy than open the system for competition fair play.



Nigerian only viable ports are located in lagos because of fear of cutting yoruba revenue, hence they labelled other ports down south insecured and only secured for shipping oil products with hign import duties placed on any cargo that will defile the standings to come through there.



If ports in delta and Port Harcourt are functioning in fully capacity, i don't think Nigeria, especially southern Nigeria would be crawling as it is doing now. But politics and economic growth in Nigeria is planned based on what tribe is going to benefit.

People need to be aware of this. We all want change but the question is are we ready to change?
