JUST A LITTLE POLITICAL STORY.

In my university days (ESUT, Enugu), there was this friend of mine who always bragged about being a senator. He sometimes calls himself Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Frank, was representing one of the departments in Environmental Sciences as a senator, and he was dedicated and diligent, but something happened that changed his view about politics.

In one of their numerous sittings, the SUG President brought a proposal that stretched to a million naira. The reason for the project for the money didn't go well with the senators and they raised their voices as they rejected the proposal. More than 80% of the senate kicked against the proposal, and, Frank was among the naysayers. The plenary session was a bit rowdy because of a few followers of the SUG president that wanted the proposal to go through, but a majority of the senators were still saying "nay." For sure the "nay" will have it as they were the majority, but instead of the SUG president to back down, he called for an hour recess. The Senate went on a break to resume in an hour time.

Frank, with his well-ironed black trousers and white long sleeve top, resumed with others.� Again, the proposal was read in the house, and what happened next shocked Frank. In the same manner, he said "nay" as he kicked against the proposal, but this time, the naysayers have reduced drastically. Instead, the support of the proposal had gained momentum with a majority of the house supporting it. He was surprised.� What happened within a few minutes that we went on recess? � What could be the cause of the sudden acceptance of the same proposal we rejected some minutes ago? He asked.
As a sharp Delta-born and Port Harcourt-bred, he later discovered that in the course of the recess, money has exchanged hands and many of the senators were bought. He felt defeated and went home sad.

From that day, his view about politics changed. That SUG tenure was one the worst in my time in Uni. The next time I called him Mr. Senator, he begged him to stop and told me that he is a student and a musician �. Senator don turn musician ��.

NB: Money is still a major factor in politics.
