Dear Sir,

Shameless criminals in powerful positions

Watching the news on Nigeria TV stations on Monday September 14 and reading the Nigeria newspapers on Tuesday 15 th September, I pitied this country further. My observation had to do with the bail granted those bank chief executives under trial. It now dawn on me that most highly placed Nigerian individuals do not have shame in their ‘dictionary’. I observed those granted bail and their sympathizers beaming with smiles. What a shame! If I were them, I would look sober and apologize to the people.

This is akin to most corrupt people who were in government and other public lives but now are allowed to walk the streets, making laws for us, granted appointments and spaces in the scheme of things in the presidency and ‘contributing’ on how to ‘move Nigeria forward’? Both the presidency and the referred to, should bury their heads in shame.

Next generation, please.
