Value must come back to our nation!!!
(As received)

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!

See what Mohammedu Buhari has caused, he hired thugs to kill Peter Obi since he already knows he would lose the election so that there would be chaos to give room for elections to be postponed.

He has failed because Nigerians are Atikulating religiously
Brother, bigotry and stupidity been follow u ni? Are u reading without reasoning. APC or PDP I don't care for they are all same. But for the youths to advertise insanity both on and offline is uncalled for.
Complain at the ballots next week and not online.

PoliticsRe: Atiku Vs Buhari, Who Is Likely To Win South West? by boxypane: 9:20am On Feb 06, 2019
The southwest can be sentimental when it comes to politics of this nature. Seeing their own(VP Osinbajo) as PMB's running mate might give it to PMB. More so, The Southwest is Under APC in terms of Governors. They have done quite well.

PoliticsRe: Isoko Community Vows To Banish Anyone Who Votes For APC by boxypane: 7:01am On Feb 04, 2019
rusher14:
"We APC members in Ikpide-Irri community want to use this medium to call on President Muhammadu Buhari, the party’s governorship candidate, Chief Great Ogboru, the immediate past governor of the state and APC Delta South senatorial candidate, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan and Honourable Joel-Onowakpo Thomas of Isoko federal constituency to come to our aid and also put solid measures in place for the protection of our members in Ikpide-Irri during the elections.

"How can a man will so be desperate and dubious and fraudulent and plan to maim his own people because of elections? This is a man, for reasons best known to him, changed his real name from Emmanuel Omojefe to Immanuel Emoefe. This is a man that was given a road contract of almost one billion Naira as kola by Okowa, according his elder brother and president general of Ikpide-Irri, Mike Omojefe. Immanuel and his cohorts have always been involved in vote buying in this community during elections.
Python dance is coming for them.

As for me, whether these authorities reply accusations or not, they are guilty to the letter.

PoliticsRe: NBA Strike Stalls Judicial Activities At FCT High Court Apo by boxypane: 7:23pm On Jan 29, 2019
In China, the CJN would have been executed publicly.
In Japan, the CJN would have committed suicide.
In Europe, the CJN would have resigned.
In the US, the CJN would be facing a congressional hearing, and possibly be facing 20-year jail time.
In South Africa, his houses would have been vandalized and set on fire and he would be in protective custody so he is not killed by protesters and rioters.
In the Scandinavian countries, the CJN would not have acquired ill gotten wealth.
But in Nigeria, the CJN is celebrated. SANs rally round him to fight for him and protect him.
The common man goes on Social Media to fight in support of him.
His kinsmen hail him and offer him chieftaincy titles.
His religious brethren pray and fast for him to overcome his enemies.
His family will ask if why he's being victimised.
His bankers are devising ways to move his loot around.
What a country!
