corruption deal

I was reading the papers today and came across a section that goes Nigeria and Britain discuss trial of politicians over money laundering. It is in corrupt countries like Nigeria that such type of thing happens. I mean, Nigerian politicians ought to be ashamed of them selves if they are known for their corrupt nature and not for the work they should be doing for their country. Our national treasure has become personal accounts to these politicians and the citizens have little choice than to be ass lickers. Does anyone remember the case of Bayelsa governor who was caught with hundreds of millions? When he got home after being held here in the UK, he received a hero’s welcome (wonders shall never end) from his people. How do these individuals have the heart to take money that should be used to develop the country to put in their personal accounts in developed countries? Has anyone seen the condition in the Niger delta? Or how many children die every day in the country because of lack of food, shelter, or even access to hospital treatments?

When President Yaradua was ill, he went to Saudi to get treatment. When the top politicians are ill, they go abroad to have treatments. Why can’t they back the hospitals in the country to be of the same standard? Or do people in Saudi and developed countries have 3 heads? When these top politicians want to go for holidays, they travel to developed countries; they see the wonders that human beings have done for their lives to be heaven on earth. They come home and nothing is changed. No one will come and repair your house if you do not keep it in order. My prayer is that each and everyone in the country raise their children with integrity and respect as they are the hope for the country.

  1. I am inexcusable!I am so sorry for being a truant. I have missed reading from you.

    The Nigerian situation has not changed and to be frank, there seem to be no light at the end of the tunnel going by the manner in which the country is being run. But we are still holding to hope, believing that a miracle would happen soon.

    How are you?
