Today the likes of IBB who \u201chates\u201d peace, unity, and progresses of the common man have the boldness to direct and misdirect Nigerian Youths with the remnants gotten from our commonwealth in his coffers. A man who single-handedly annulled the June 12, 1993 Presidential election for his selfish interest, yet we\u2019re here celebrating him daily. I wonder what brand of weed we smoke in this Country maybe, our lighters\/fire or Rizla are by-products of \u201cBatrachotoxin\u201d. IBB and his cronies birthed the \u2018official\u2019 stealing, lifting, ceasing and stealing of OIL WELLS in this Country. Yet Nigerian Youths are used daily in these \u201cgreedy\u201d men\u2019s shrines as baits, thugs and what have you, shame on us (Nigerian Youths), and big shame. I feel like throwing up even, whaaat?<\/p>\n
Today, the likes of Buhari, OBJ, Tinubu, etc are political champions in this Country, funny. After all the misappropriation of public funds under former President Obasanjo and former Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Nigerian Youths are still celebrating them even more than the South Africans have celebrated their \u201cMadiba\u201d (Nelson Mandela); sickening, disgusting and shameful. After looting the treasuries and rendering our futures bleak, blank and almost-useless, we\u2019re here drinking the adulterated panadol and kaikai (local gin) whilst they jet out with their families daily using our commonwealth, I think some of us are sick. Who bears the brunt, afterwards? Think. Gosh! It appears some of us (some Nigerian Youths) are now thinking through the anus, too bad, which way my people? Crisis looms.<\/p>\n
Now, looking at the Niger Delta Region (South-South) in retrospect (from 1999 to date); where are our former Governors? Where\u2019s DR.PETER ODILI, Chief DSP Alamieyeseigha, Chief James Ibori, Obong Victor Attah? Is Donald Duke left out, where is he? Oh! Would I ever forget the man who ran Edo State with his father like it\u2019s their family business; I mean Chief Lucky Igbenedion, where is he? Where are they in the face of this political imbroglio they originated? It is either they\u2019re serving their jail term(s) or they\u2019ve finished serving and was pardoned. Or, some are warming up to go to \u201cjail\u201d soon, or \u2018some\u2019 are running from pillar to post seeking for solace (hiding from the \u201ctoothless anti-graft\u201d Commission(s)). From the records, only one of them was given \u201cclean bill of health\u201d by the EFCC but, I still doubt if that was merited. Fellow Nigerians, I come from a betrayed zone now gone bananas due to greed from our pasts and present tyrants that parade as leaders leading their pockets, only. Yet, I keep praising them daily using some \u201cwash-wash\u201d Youth organizations just to curry favor, what a failing bunch praising \u2018some\u2019 \u201cfailed\u201d leaders in the region? What nonsense from us (Youths). Let me ask, what \u201clegacy\/legacies\u201d
\ndid these men leave behind as former Governors? What development or progress did they bring to their States? What can they boast of?<\/p>\n
Did Odili steal Rivers people\u2019s money? Yes, more than enough. Did Ibori and DSP Alamieyeseigha also steal from their States? Universally, Scientifically, Spiritually, Physically and morally proven to be true, \u2018YES\u2019. Did Victor Attah, Donald Duke and Lucky Igbenedion did same in their States? Another big \u2018YES\u2019. Now, did Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Joshua Dariye steal like their South-South counterparts? Yes, if not more. Can they (Odili, DSP, Ibori, Duke, Attah, Lucky) gyrate like Tinubu, Dariye, IBB, Buhari and OBJ is using the media to do today? I am justifying or comparing their lootings? Nope. Truth is, as corrupt as the South-South former Governors were, they\u2019re no worse than the present \u201cSaints and Imams\u201d we now find or see in Tinubu, IBB, Buhari, Abdulsalami and OBJ, they\u2019re all birds of a feather that flocks together, they\u2019re inseparable stealing-wise. So, should I bother or even second guess any truth about them? Who\u2019s IBB, OBJ, Tinubu, Buhari to talk about \u201ccorruption\u201d in this Country? Have we forgotten the men they are, have we forgotten so soon?
\nHaba\u2026<\/p>\n
Funnily, the present Governors from this same region (South-South) are good copy-cats. They\u2019ve not only copied the stealing tricks of their predecessors rightly, they\u2019ve greatly improved on their predecessors\u2019
\nmal-administration and have taken it to the next level. What has the South-South region of this Country turned into? The present crops of Youths in this region are mainly the \u201cAYES\u201d, \u201cI\u2019s\u201d than those being on the path of truth. May I ask again, whose future is being tainted, blurred and who\u2019s being short-changed for whom? Think. Which and whose generation bears the brunt from all these injustices you\u2019re aiding abating? Please!
\nSpeak up, rise up and stampede this nonsense from across the States. WAKE UP, NIGERIAN YOUTHS. WAKE UP\u2026<\/p>\n
RATIONALE OF MY TEXT
\nThe rationale behind this post is to bring to bear the alarming rate of disorderliness and randomliness of the Politics in the South-South region hugely due to the quiescence disposition of the \u2018so called\u2019 elders greedily fanning the embers nicodemusly just because, they desire to increase their bread and butter at the detriment of the 99% impoverished majority. It is also to remind the present Political Actors (especially, the present Governors) to be weary of their actions and inactions during their stints because, as their \u2018masters\u2019 (the former Governors) today became inert, immotile, disrespected and disregarded, convicted and jailed, same sledge hammer would be used after they leave office. Let this serve as a pointer for you, no position is permanent, you\u2019ll all leave someday, soon.<\/p>\n
MY AIM
\nWell, the aim of this text is to compare other \u201cSaints\u201d of today in the political arena that are worse than the former Niger Delta Governors gone extinct. My aim is to let Nigerians know these men better (if possible).<\/p>\n
MY SIMPLE SOLUTION\u2026
\nAs an interventionist, my solution is simple. First, Nigerian Youths should live and be true with themselves and avoid being used by greedy men of the underworld for a taste of \u2018infinitesimal\u2019 pudding\/money etc. And also, let us rise up against corruption and bad governance not by words only but, by actioning it in our deeds etc. Remember, these men have all lived their lives and have enjoyed it, why cut-short yours or live as peasants in the midst of plenty? WAKE UP, COMRADES (if we have any).
\nEngage Government responsibly and charge them to deliver.<\/p>\n
With the current trend, we\u2019ll keep fighting to enlarge the coasts of the existing greedy \u2018demi-gods\u2019 if we do not stampede them now. Make hay while the sun still shines, the South-South of today \u201cstinks\u201d. 2015 is near, they\u2019ll come again, say \u2018NO\u2019. Say “NO” to the tyrants of yesterday and the leopards of today, always say “NO”.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s me again, as always.<\/p>\n
