We are too normal! Too gentle. We talk too much, analyse pretty well, rationalise issues and situations, manage and endure extreme pains and discomfort, suffering and smiling. Sadly, we are not mad enough to change and reset the balcanized corrupt minds of our leaders and those at the corridor of powers, doing the doings that have perpetually kept us in a very impoverished situation.
They walk right inside our bathroom, take away our towels, off they sprint away with it. For shame on how to pursue them in our nakedness, we allow them to go unpursued.
They looked at our complacent disposition, too credulous and lacklustre mentality, before one says Jack, they swoop on us again takes away our clothes, knowing we wouldn’t do more than we did when our towels were taken.
We are not mad enough! Too gentle to deal with the daredevil demeanour of our politicians. They have known us, seen us finish and would off the cuff predict our reactions to their madness.
We rely so much on God to do for us what we would ordinarily do for ourselves. God dey! God will judge them! God will help us! In God’s hands we dey! Etc. These are ways Nigerians shy away from responsibility, thrusting them to God who had already given us everything that would make us fight the ills stand still.
If only we were mad enough to match their madness, they would have known their limits, respect our space, rights and privileges, knowing the consequences that await them If they dare over step their boundaries.
If Nigerians were mad enough, with the budget padding and the revelation of the N5000millon shared to senior Senetors we would have seen those “Insenetors” and “Madnetors” scampering for their miserable lives from being lynched by the Masses.
In a country where citizens barely feed, where the cost of basic living shy rocketed, where school buildings are collapsing,
“Insanetors” are busy padding budget and sharing money to themselves.
It can only happen where citizens are too gentle with no traces of colorado, tramadol, Amphetamine, Benzodiazephine, Cannabis, Cocaine, Heroin etc in their system to trigger an insane reactions .
Nigerians need the hype of mkpuru- mmiri to confront these “insanstors”, Politricrazies and all Civil servants that have become bigger than Nigeria- conduit pipes for siphoning of our money.
It will take a well orchestrated beating and pummelling of one politician by the Masses to reset their insane and lootmenia mindset. Enough!
Enough! We have had enough from those rogues and lootmeniacs in human skin.
Nigerian isn’t a poor country and Nigerians have no bussines having an unholy union with poverty and hardship. These politicians and some and Civil servants have amassed all the monies meant for all and starshed them for their unborn generations, leaving the greater percentage of Nigeria roasting in abject lack and penury.
Nothing changes this situation unless we are ready to dance naked, regardless, pursuing them and stopping them on their tracks with a kind of violence never seen before.
No peace for an evil man! No politeness for a crook, one needs to be mad, displaying unashamedly ones nakedness to prove a point.
I think the situation of Nigeria has reached to this sore and sorry situation, only the equal madness of politicians from the masses would be the needed antidotes.
Until we get to this level, on their fingers they would always fiddle us the hoipollio.
They stole our mandate we didn’t talk. They removed subsidy we remained complacent. The devalued naira we kept mute.
The various looting that happened now and previously too humongous, we laughed and made comedy of them.
Until we Nigerians become mad enough to confront them, hold them by their jugglar and demand accountability from them, we will continue to get thirsty while at the middle of an ocean.
Arise oh Nigeria now or remain a slave forever in their hands. These people have no conscience, greed in human skin!
