These politicians who came to power when they were in their twenties and thirties succeed in snatching several hours off the lives of today's youths. They end up arguing and quarrelling online and offline. Defending and attacking. Yet none of them ever knows us. Those of us who are known by them won't be remembered when you need them for something that benefits your own life.

In year 2004, I was seeking for a job to work on a project that is the headquarters of NCC. That circular high rise structure Obasanjo copied from China for Abuja. The Project Manager called Mr James Lee a Chinese with CCECC advised if I could get a note from a senator or Minister. Just to be an Engineer for the project!!
Straight I took bike from there (near Hilton) to Apo Legislative quarters just to meet my Senator.
I reached by Evening. The senator used his Mopol to beat me up. Surprisingly he was my father'father's bosom friend. He was the one that once took my dad and I to his house if not why would I visit his house in the first place?
Since then, I vowed not to expect anything from politicians. As God will have it, my determination to work on the NCC Hqtrs payed off. I got the job when I told them I was ready to work without pay. In addition that Senator was indicted in the Nduelumelu power probe and was jailed Under Yaradua.
