You only need to look at Nigerian politicians to understand why bandits should naturally hold sway. And why they're actually the ones in charge, kidnapping and taking ransoms, killings and ethnic cleansing communities.

It seems the qualifications for Nigerians political offices is being a bandit. That's why they loot instead of working to see the nation work.
They loot to enjoy holidays abroad, enjoy healthcare abroad, send their children for education abroad and even set up businesses in countries abroad where there is regular electricity supply instead of making Nigeria work.

That's why I say Nigeria is a bandit country where Bandits run amok because of bandits in power.

Imagine they're already projecting another bandit-bandit ticket for Presidency.

Urchins are feeling it first hand
