I was going through the above thread and some comments brought me to tears. Some of these comments coming from a 21st century educated youths. The story of Joseph Stalin comes to mind, we have been so dehumanize to the point that ordinary 2kg of rice distributed to less than 0.05℅ of the State population is seen as an achievement. Only in Nigeria will a governor construct a 1km road and then erect a 12x12 billboard to announce his achievement.
Enjoy the story of JosephStalin below:

During the Soviet dictatorship of Joseph Stalin. He was a brutal dictator with mind of his own. On one fateful day, Stalin came to Politburo meeting with a live chicken. Standing in front of audience, He started to pluck the feathers of the live chicken off one by one.

The chicken trembled in pain, blood tricking out of its pores. It gave out grievous cries, but Stalin being a cruel dictator continued without remorse plucking the feathers out until the chicken was completely naked.

After which, he threw the chicken on the ground. The naked chicken was staggering in pain. Stalin goes into his pocket and from his pockets, he took out some chicken food and started to throw it at the poor & hapless creature.

The poor chicken in pain started eating and Stalin started walking towards his seat. As he walked away, he kept dropping some feeds on the floor & the chicken followed him and sat feeding from his feet.

Joseph Stalin then turned to members of his political party leadership. He said, "This chicken represents the people".

"You must disempower them, brutalise them, beat them up, starve them and then leave them".

"If you do this, go into your pocket & give them peanuts when they are in that helpless and desperate situation, they will blindly follow you for the rest of their life, worshiping you".

"They will think you are a hero forever. They will forget that, you're responsible for their sorrowful situation in the first place."

Breath taking, isn't it ?

Now! Take a look at all the people some Nigerians are busy defending on social media.

Take a look at those they call their heroes. They are the same people who plunged Nigeria into the situation she is. They are the same people who are responsible for their predicament

Exactly,.....what we have here are politicians,not statesmen......politicians always think about next elections,while statesmen think about next generations.
Trust a politician at your own peril.

The youths are not helping issue, instead of joining forces to put these politicians on their toes, they are the ones singing their praises, busy defending them on social media.
