I am not the author of this. I saw it on a watsapp group and decided to share. I'm sure real Author actually wants the words to get to the Populace though.

Nigeria where a president who prides himself as a man of integrity would lift the hand of a confirmed thief in campaign rally and yet some youths who do not know their left from right would still sing his praise... not Nigeria where a group such as MURIC, under a supposed professor, would spend quality time and energy writing about why Friday should be declared a public holiday for Muslims ‘since Saturday was declared for The Seventh Day Adventists and Sunday for Catholics and other Christians’ but refuse to speak out against the untold acts of violence, persecution and killings of Christians and minorities in some place in the north...
INEC has just extended the date for the collection of PVCs till Monday 11th, elections comes up THIS WEEKEND, in the name of God, Nigerians, do the needful, vote out APC!!!!
ganduje is not yet a confirmed thief like u said.......any video can be altered...that doesnt vindicate him either......as for muric,i am against the muric bullshit.....muslims also worship on sunday.......i think they are a serious nuisance to the country.....but buhari shouldnt suffer for their stupid fanaticsm......

Nigerians really deserve what they're getting from their leaders. if apc and pdp could be getting the kind of massive support from Nigerians despite what these politicians do, then it means Nigeria is heading towards doom.
The number of idiots in Nigeria is far greater than the number of reasonable people. This is why Nigeria will not get better no matter what. The idiots will determine how the country is run and there is nothing the sane ones can do because they are badly outnumbered.

The best thing for any sane Nigerian should do is to explore legal means of migration to a first world country and leave the idiots to suffer the consequences of their actions alone. This is what I did and I'm so happy watching events in Nigeria from outside. E concern them.

Nigeria's leaders are the most vilest, wicked, malevolent beasts you can find anywhere in the world while the followers are the most dumbest, easily manipulated dolts you can find anywhere in the world.
After all the injuries these guys have caused to our collective psyche yet some people will still vote for them with all enthusiasm self. At times I am bamboozled by the way my fellow Nigerians think.
Its almost certain we will perpetually be a developing nation with the kind of airheads we have as followers.

Multiplier effect of corruption

1. A young man works for one of the state ministries. His salary is 120K. He makes 15,000 everyday on this desk (N75k a week) engaging in corrupt practices. As a result, he spends the daily cash as he cares. Living large and far above his legitimate income.

2. He visits the local joint every evening and buys drinks for friends, and area boys. They hail him. He is married, but has two girlfriends. His "income" is enough to take care of them. The Asun seller at his favorite joint is happy, the joint owner is happy.

3. Everyone was benefiting from his "income". Friends, family, area boys, joint owner, Asun seller, girlfriends, wife and his church. Life was good.

4. Then suddenly the ministry implemented the Treasury Single Account (TSA) at the beginning of PMB administration. His extra "income" disappeared and he had to adjust to the reality of event and live within his real income. That wasn't easy.

5. Initially he reduced his daily visit to the joint to 3 days a week and stopped buying drinks for everyone. He reduced he plates of Asun. The Asun seller started to find it hard to sell a full goat each day and resorted to buy half.

6. The young man's girlfriends started to feel the heat too. No more iPhone 10. The joint owner noticed a drop in sales. The young man finally stopped visiting the joint after a month. The area boys started feeling his absence. The effect cascaded down.

7. The young man started spending more time at home with his wife and kids. The family had to readjust to the reality of the new normal. His hair stylist noticed the young man suddenly stopped tipping. He will even wait for his N200 change after haircut.

8. Things are different. Times are hard, they all cry. The young man is blaming Buhari, his wife is blaming Buhari, the area boys are blaming Buhari, the girlfriends are saying Buhari must go, the joint owner is saying Buhari killed the "economy"

9. The Asun seller is cursing Buhari, the hair stylist is insisting Buhari is too old to rule. This is the story of our nation where corruption fuels the "economy". Those who are not engaging in it are benefiting from it.

10. This tread is not about Buhari's achievement or failure, but rather about the "multiplier" effect of corruption and how we have built a system largely driven by corruption. It's about policy implication (good or bad). It's about the choices we have made.

Finally, the young man had to withdraw his kids from what he called expensive primary school his kids attend. He added:"what are they teaching them there sef " Obasanjo didn't go to a private school. I just laughed

My Take:
Most of the so called rich men and women in Nigeria before now were feeding fat on the populace, imaging a level 15 officer in a state ministry sponsoring two of his/her children's education in Europe but when TSA came to effect, free money dried up but Buhari was blamed for the inability to fund children in Europe! Awon ole jati -jati, ofan a je l'oju onile.


What about those people whose monies were extorted by the civil servant?
Are they now liberated from extortion?
Do they now have enough money to cater for family let alone saving?

Buhari came in, Nigeria took over world poverty capital from India...

next time think before you talk...

Why are people twisting reality.
Government never said they have provided solution to the truck issue on the road, but said they would not allow trucks to come into Lagos as from Thursday and those within Lagos already would be moved off the road to avoid traffic jam in Lagos on Saturday due to expected upsurge in both motorists and vehicular movement as result of president visitation

Only intelligent post I see so far. The level of regressive thinking among a lot of Nigerians makes me afraid sometimes.

Multiplier effect of corruption

1. A young man works for one of the state ministries. His salary is 120K. He makes 15,000 everyday on this desk (N75k a week) engaging in corrupt practices. As a result, he spends the daily cash as he cares. Living large and far above his legitimate income.

2. He visits the local joint every evening and buys drinks for friends, and area boys. They hail him. He is married, but has two girlfriends. His "income" is enough to take care of them. The Asun seller at his favorite joint is happy, the joint owner is happy.

3. Everyone was benefiting from his "income". Friends, family, area boys, joint owner, Asun seller, girlfriends, wife and his church. Life was good.

4. Then suddenly the ministry implemented the Treasury Single Account (TSA) at the beginning of PMB administration. His extra "income" disappeared and he had to adjust to the reality of event and live within his real income. That wasn't easy.

5. Initially he reduced his daily visit to the joint to 3 days a week and stopped buying drinks for everyone. He reduced he plates of Asun. The Asun seller started to find it hard to sell a full goat each day and resorted to buy half.

6. The young man's girlfriends started to feel the heat too. No more iPhone 10. The joint owner noticed a drop in sales. The young man finally stopped visiting the joint after a month. The area boys started feeling his absence. The effect cascaded down.

7. The young man started spending more time at home with his wife and kids. The family had to readjust to the reality of the new normal. His hair stylist noticed the young man suddenly stopped tipping. He will even wait for his N200 change after haircut.

8. Things are different. Times are hard, they all cry. The young man is blaming Buhari, his wife is blaming Buhari, the area boys are blaming Buhari, the girlfriends are saying Buhari must go, the joint owner is saying Buhari killed the "economy"

9. The Asun seller is cursing Buhari, the hair stylist is insisting Buhari is too old to rule. This is the story of our nation where corruption fuels the "economy". Those who are not engaging in it are benefiting from it.

10. This tread is not about Buhari's achievement or failure, but rather about the "multiplier" effect of corruption and how we have built a system largely driven by corruption. It's about policy implication (good or bad). It's about the choices we have made.

Finally, the young man had to withdraw his kids from what he called expensive primary school his kids attend. He added:"what are they teaching them there sef " Obasanjo didn't go to a private school. I just laughed

My Take:
Most of the so called rich men and women in Nigeria before now were feeding fat on the populace, imaging a level 15 officer in a state ministry sponsoring two of his/her children's education in Europe but when TSA came to effect, free money dried up but Buhari was blamed for the inability to fund children in Europe! Awon ole jati -jati, ofan a je l'oju onile.

Nice summary and good analogy in an ideal scenario but the problem is that we are not in an ideal scenario in Nigeria.... Everything here 8s upside down....

Seems the trailer drivers pay tax to park there. You can’t chase them out after collecting their money. Shame on Lagos government !!!
Both the Federal and Lagos State governments failed. I wonder, will heaven fall if the roads remain trucks and trailers free? The wicked rulers will keep making these little things look like rocket science and are quick make excuses, trade blames, tag their critics members of opposition parties. Such callousness!

Nigeria's leaders are the most vilest, wicked, malevolent beasts you can find anywhere in the world while the followers are the most dumbest, easily manipulated dolts you can find anywhere in the world.
After all the injuries these guys have caused to our collective psyche yet some people will still vote for them with all enthusiasm self. At times I am bamboozled by the way my fellow Nigerians think.
Its almost certain we will perpetually be a developing nation with the kind of airheads we have as followers.
Plain truth.
