The Ant And The Grasshopper(the Nigerian Version) by mcyemite(op): 11:05am On Jun 20, 2015
The Ant and the Grasshopper - The Nigerian Version of story - too good and fact Original Story:
The Ant works hard in the
withering heat all summer building its house and laying up supplies for the winter. The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the Ant is warm and well fed. The Grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the cold.
Nigerian Version:
The Ant works hard in the
withering heat all summer building its house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The Grasshopper thinks the Ant's a fool and laughs dances plays the summer away.
Come winter, the shivering Grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the Ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.
NTA, AIT, STV shows up to provide pictures of the shivering Grasshopper next to a video of the Ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.
The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this poor Grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Gbenga aruleba stages a demonstration in front of the Ant's house.
Odion bello goes on a fast along with other Grasshoppers demanding that Grasshoppers be relocated to warmer climates during winter.
Femi fani kayode states this as
'injustice' done on Minorities.
The Internet is flooded with online petitions seeking support to the Grasshopper.
The Senate immediately
passes a law preventing Ants from working hard in the heat so as to bring about equality of poverty among Ants and Grasshoppers.
Railway minister allocates one free coach to Grasshoppers on all Nigeria Railway Trains, aptly named as the 'Grasshopper Rath'.
Finally, the Judicial Committee drafts the 'Prevention of Terrorism Against Grasshoppers Act' [POTAGA] , with effect from the beginning of the winter.
Education minister makes 'Special Reservation' for Grasshoppers in Educational Institutions in Government Services.
The Ant is fined for failing to comply with POTAGA and having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, it's home is confiscated by Government and handed over to the Grasshopper in a ceremony covered by NTA, AIT, STV.
Ayo fayose calls it 'A
Triumph of Justice'.
Railway minister calls it 'Socialistic Justice'.
IGP calls it 'Revolutionary
Resurgence of Downtrodden'
Many years later... The Ant has since migrated to the US and set up a multi-billion dollar company in Silicon Valley, 100s of Grasshoppers still die of starvation despite reservation somewhere in Nigeria, ....AND As a result of losing lot of hard working Ants and feeding the grasshoppers, Nigeria is still a developing country...!!!

Summary:

The grasshopper = THE NORTH with their hunger for POWER and triumphalism instead of a hunger for development and academic enlightenment
