Are we not tired of being dribbled here, there and beyond by unskilled footballers manifesting as our crude politicians?
Yes, crude, very crude!
Was it not in the last elections that people were bribed with kulikuli and gari. That could be interpreted in various ways.
First, the bulk of Nigerians are so cheap that they could be bought at the rate of two for a farthing.
Second, we could do anything for food.
Third, most of us don’t understand democracy. If we do, we’ll not allow politicians to be dictating to us.
And so on…
Now, twenty ninth of May is almost here. So many blatant lies will be told us, gullible people, by the politicians. For crying out loud, is it not yet time for us to understand their nefarious activities?
How can they satisfy our hunger for the basic things of life when we sell ourselves cheap like flip flops. Of course, when they eventually get into the corridors of power, they would already have known the people they are dealing with.
I understand it’s usually the people they use in carrying out their looting. Those ‘lucky’ ones will then become ‘Demi gods and semi devils’ amongst the poor people forgetting that a rich man amidst thousands of the poor is also a poor man.
I think it’s about time we, the people, put our thinking caps on and declare, like Roberto Duran II did while fighting Sugar Ray Leonard on November 25, 1980 at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans,
‘No mas, no mas’!
In the words of Joseph de Maistre, ‘Every nation gets the government it deserves.’
