IS NIGERIA A JOKE? By Thomas-Wilson Ikubese
Thomas-Wilson Ikubese You collect money from Politicians to cast Your ballot. You collect from right, left and cast Your vote for the highest bidder. You look away from young, credible candidates with visionary, developmental ideologies and a break from the past because they have no money to share and cast Your vote for the Old Brigades who You know very well, have nothing new to offer. You rain curses on them in Your closet and yet vote for them in the open after collecting peanuts, ignoring the better alternatives that starred You in the face! Do they owe You any explanation when they get into office? Did they not get into office on the depth of their pocket and the benevolence of their politricks? So, would they not recoup their "investment" and make profit from their "see and buy"? Daily You cry that Nigeria is not working. Daily our children die on the high seas and in the deserts, attempting to escape from a non-functional system. Dai
