Funny bunch. They say\u00a0 we should stop talking about corruption. They say
\nwe should stop talking about the wreckage they did here They say\u00a0 we
\nshould not talk of the bizarre brigandage they superintended. They say we
\nshould stop talking about yesterday but should talk of today and tomorrow.
\nThey say we should keep mute over th<\/span><\/span>e vicarious damage they did to this
\ncountry just yesterday. They say we should stop complaining about their
\nsordid acts of Byzantine stealing. They say we should stop going after
\nthem and their loot. They say they need less distraction to enjoy their
\ngood fortune and we should rather look for our loincloths where we took
\nour bath on March 28.\u00a0 They say we should close their chapter for now and
\npretend their egregious wastage never happened. They say we should talk
\nless of their debauchery. They say we should not look back and they are
\nwont to remind us of what happened to Lot’s wife in our effort to recall
\nthe expanded rot of yesterday’s vultures’ feast. They want to hush us.
\nThey want to gag us. They want to outlaw us from crying after they
\nmercilessly whacked us. They want to bring to early foreclosure the putrid
\nmess they did just the other day.<\/p>\n

The say that the present anti-corruption war is a ruse because the country
\nis not corrupt. At best, they say the country has become corrupt since
\nBuhari came in as theirs was sparkling and without dent. Oh yes, we are
\n‘de-marketing’ Nigeria by talking of corruption. We are driving away the
\nlegions of foreign investors they brought, just by stealing every kobo in
\nsight, when we talk of corruption. No, it is blasphemy to say Nigeria was
\ncorrupt, at least when they were here. They ask us who told us that
\nNigeria was corrupt. They said we are wasting time probing their
\nimpeccable records. They say we are just making up tales of looting just
\nto explain the fact that we audaciously sacked their God-sent era. They
\nsay we are merely witch-hunting them. Yea, they have become witches but
\nthey say it is heresy hunting them. They say they did us a world of good
\nby robbing us blind; that they were merely keeping our wealth in custody
\nfor us and that we should stop complaining but rather thank and garland
\nthem for being so magnanimous. They have tried every trick to get a
\nrecalcitrant country to parry its attention from their sordid mess and
\nrather face the man we elected to clean their mess. Though they pretend
\nthey have no conscience but they betray a deep pinch by what remains of
\ntheir conscience whenever we remember or narrate the ghoulish acts they
\ndid to our country. So is it not better they get us to criminalise any
\ndiscussion on corruption so that they can enjoy a little peace? Oh yes, we
\nmust cease talking about corruption so that they corrupt can find some
\ncomfort.<\/p>\n

Anti corruption? They say their foot! They say we are just raising a heck
\nfor nothing. They say we are just wasting precious time when we should
\nrather leverage on their elephantine achievements to go to the moon. They
\nsay we are just making a mountain out of a molehill by looking and talking
\nof their misdemeanours. They say we are just chasing shadows looking for
\nstolen heist among the angels they are. They say no money was stolen in
\nNigeria under their watch. They say those who are confessing so pruriently
\non how they ate yams are just being hypnotized to confess crimes they
\nnever committed. They say all the petrifying details and confessions we
\nare hearing today are acted scenes meant to entertain us as no such things
\nhappened under their immaculate leadership. They say they ran a clean and
\nimpeccable era and that by talking and klieg-lighting their acts, we are
\njust wasting precious times on nothing. They say that the international
\ncommunity a shunning us because we keep talking of their corruption. Yes
\nthe international community are mumufied and zombiefied dummies who know
\nnothing and see and hear nothing. So the less we harp on the audacious
\nsleaze of the past 16 years especially in the bizarre\u00a0 past six years, the
\nbetter for us as a country. They say we are committing treasonable crimes
\nby letting the world know the depth of the corruption they did here before
\nthe present regime came. They say the world has resolved not to patronize
\nus should we adamantly keep reminding of their nefarious acts which they
\nfeel will serve our best interests if we keep the details under the rugs
\nand rather concentrate on mugging Buhari for defeating them in the last
\nelection.<\/p>\n

They say we should just focus on how Buhari is destroying the Naira- yea
\nevery known wailer is now a forex trading Mallam, keeping us abreast of
\nthe daily happenings in this interesting Naira-Dollar slugfest. They make
\nno attempt to tell us what we are selling in the international market as
\nto buoy the Naira against the dollar as they are not telling us of how a
\ncountry whose treasury was cleansed the way they did can maintain a strong
\ncurrency when the sole product that financed their licentiousness is going
\nfor free. When we talk of their wicked inability to save for the present
\nrainy day when the dollars were freely flowing, they remind us that it was
\nnot their duty to save for another man to spend. Theirs was to loot,
\nsteal, plunder and eat for all of us. All they are saying is that the
\nNaira must be brought at par with the dollar\u00a0 by fire by force and that
\nBuhari must create trillions of jobs and make the economy strong after
\ntheir gluttonous feast. How he is able to do that should be his headache
\nbut we stop distracting them by talking of their corrupt acts or even
\nprobing their acts. It was neither their lots to create jobs nor save for
\nthe future so we should stop looking at their horrible stewardship. The
\npast is past and should be treated as such. No looking back, they remind
\nus.<\/p>\n

They say we should be talking of how ‘nothing works’ since Buhari
\ndisplaced their divine era and replaced the feel-good days when they ate
\non our behalf and ensured that we dance for their selfless sacrifice of
\npocketing the commonwealth on our behalf. They say we should rather be
\ntalking of how Buhari has not created zillions of jobs since oil is almost
\ngoing for free and they are won’t to remind us how they packed millions of
\njobless Nigerians in every available public space, extorted them of N1,000
\neach and ended up trampling tens of them to death in the quest to recruit
\n3,000 nebulous immigration jobs when Naira was averaging $120 per barrel.
\nThey say Buhari should do better than their impeccable record, after all
\nhe promised change and was audacious to topple their bazaar-laden era.<\/p>\n

They say we should ask Buhari why he has not brought the same Naira that
\nstarted its tumbling\u00a0 when they were feasting on a providential oil boom,
\nwhen the heavens were raining in the dollars while they were busy sharing
\nit among themselves. They say we should get our clubs, sharpen our arrows
\nand bows and target Buhari and his men for audaciously toppling their
\nGod-sent era of freeloading. One of them recently reminded us that they
\nwere called ‘share the money’ for good reasons-that they shared money to
\ngo round while we are no longer sharing money in an era of change. They
\nsay we should not ask where, when and how the rain started beating us and
\nthat we must be the dummies they take us to be and not pretend we don’t
\nknow that Buhari inherited a very healthy economy where they firmed our
\nreserve. Yes, they emptied our foreign reserves into their pockets when
\noil was gushing raw dollars so why can’t the Naira gain strength now that
\noil is almost free? They emptied the excess crude reserve to campaign for
\na continuation of their divine, share-the-money regime just that we were
\nso naive to reject them. They turned the oil industry to ready ATM
\nmachines so as to prepare us for today. They shared out defence budgets so
\nthat we can be self reliant in defending ourselves and not look for others<\/p>\n

They turned NIMASA, NPA, Customs, into cash cows because they felt the
\ncountry needed super humans like them to prosecute their dream of writing
\nNigeria into the richest and biggest economy in the world. We should know
\nthey were magicians who woke up one morning and told us we were now the
\nbiggest economy in Africa- a feat they achieved through mass stealing,
\ntotal unemployment, comprehensive infrastructural breakdown, so why are we
\ncomplaining? Why are we looking back when we should look forward and tap
\non their magic to take our rightful place as the richest economy on planet
\nearth? Why are we talking of corruption when we should be talking of the
\nunprecedented prosperity they unleashed us in six dizzying years through
\nwhat we call corruption? Why are we making up cases of corruption in a
\nregime angels practically relocated from heaven with a mission to
\ntransform Nigeria to the greatest and richest country on planet earth? At
\nleast they have succeeded in scripting Nigeria as the richest country in
\nAfrica and they needed to achieve the feat of the richest economy in the
\nworld in the added years for which they brazenly shared excess dollars to
\nget the citizenry to preserve them in power. They ask whether we never saw
\nthe array of private jets and state of the art automobiles that littered
\nthe Nigerian space while they were here. They ask if we never saw the
\nlegion of curious billionaires they made with our oil money.\u00a0 They ask if
\nwe never saw the array of jobless locusts that suddenly became proprietors
\nof private universities when they were here. They are genuinely irked that
\nBuhari has stopped these fonts of prosperity while inundating the world
\nwith tales of their corruption which they say never happened.<\/p>\n

So they don’t understand why we are mis-targeting when we should aim
\nrightly. They said we should unleash our anger at Buhari for exacerbating
\nthe hunger and want they banished from Nigeria by stealing and sharing the
\nmoney amongst themselves. They say we should set upon Buhari and his
\ngovernment for chasing rats in form of anti corruption war instead of
\nunleashing magic on Nigeria in the face of global economic meltdown and of
\ncourse, their uncensored orgy before Buhari cane. They want us to ask
\nBuhari why the Nigerian economy is not thriving in triple digits when
\nstrong global economies are ebbing. Do Nigerians not realise they erected
\nenough bulwarks to prevent the Nigerian economy from such fractures the
\nfragile economies of America, China, EU periodically experience? Why are
\nNigerians not directing their anger at Buhari who rather than liberalise
\nstealing and corruption to grow the Nigerian economy the way they did, is
\nplugging all rat hole through which smart Nigerians access the national
\nwealth and mop up properties all over the world,\u00a0 buy private jets and
\nmake names as the richest people on earth? Why are Nigerians not targeting
\nBuhari for stopping the culture of blessing the big boys and girls, the
\nbig party chieftains\u00a0 of their beloved PDP with state resources to bless
\nother fortunate ones? Why are Nigerians looking their way and the ways of<\/span><\/span>
\ntheir fortunes instead of asking Buhari to stop his nonsensical war on
\ncorruption?<\/p>\n

Me too, I don’t understand. Why can’t we simply invite them to come on
\nagain and unleash their miraculous wand on our distressed country? Why
\ncan’t we re-invite them, with apology for our mistakes, and ask them to
\ncontinue from where they stopped on May 29? Why not let us harken to them
\nand stop talking about corruption so as to tap from their good fortune? Do
\nwe remember that their leader was goodluck pers<\/span><\/span>onified and that he even
\nbecame known in some global circles as ‘fortunato?’ So why can’t we cease
\nthe searchlight on our brightest and bests and save the country by having
\nthem come back to continue the steady march of the country to a world
\nsuperpower? Why not let us admit that we committed a grievous crime by
\nsending them away on March 28 and that we committed a more gregarious
\ncrime by asking them questions about their stewardship when we knew they
\nwere beyond reproach? Why not let us remove corruption from our lexicon
\nand find ways of even legalizing since it brought the country so much good
\nfortune when they were here deifying and worshipping it and telling us
\nthat stealing is not corruption? Why should we dwell on their corrupt acts
\nwhen by that, we are de-marketing the country in the international
\ncommunity who so much love them that they won’t bear to hear their
\nspotless names profaned in the name of fighting corruption? Why not let us
\nsave ourselves their blitzkrieg, quench their present senseless wailing by
\nrather arraigning Buhari and his men for\u00a0 the audacious guts to replace
\nthem, proceed to destroy the country’s economy and the Naira through his
\nnonsensical fight against corruption? I am being bought. I am being
\nseduced and of course, I am being led to believe that they are indeed
\nmaking sense.<\/p>\n
