"To Obasanjo, IBB,
Danjuma, Atiku Abubakar, Jerry Gana, Edwin Clark, Nnia Nwodo et al, speaking
truth to the lethargic and mediocre watch of one of your own, Buhari, must come
with penitence, and the willingness to abdicate the political space. Tied to
it, you must give back to the people all that you have stolen from them, thus
atoning for the years of locusts that you brought on Nigeria. Seeking sainthood
without retribution is hubris, else the poor not having what to eat, may one
day eat up your children." - CMN Jnr.
On 26th March, 2018 at 5:30pm, I
stumbled on a programme, GLOBAL BUSINESS on AIT (African Independent Television) with "Poverty In Nigeria" as theme,
and a Community called Yimitu, just one hour from Abuja City Centre, was the
traumatic and soul rending spectacle. According to the report, this community has no electricity, no portable water, no medical
facilities, and no schools; not even a nursery school in that community. And
this is the tragic fate of many communities in 21st century Nigeria. So, think, when you defend the PDP or the APC.
THINK
ABOUT THIS:
1. In the 70s we were
about the richest Country in Africa, and one of the most stable economies in
the world, today we are the poorest nation on planet earth.
2. We have the highest
paid political operators, and the least paid workers in Africa.
3. We have the second
highest infant mortality in the world.
4. 80% of our people live
in poverty.
5. And those who
superintend the worst despoliation in human history continue to rule over us,
as misguided Youths for crumbs defend them.
We must organize rather
than agonize, and work together to take back our Country.
