Do you know that the average Nigerian does not demand good leadership? No, we don’t, when we say someone is a bad leader, we mean is that his leadership has not pay us personally, that’s all. The minute the man or the woman settles us it no longer matters that he has ignored the healthcare system, education, corruption is rife. No matter what, once he takes care of us personally, we are okay. This appals me, it gives me grief, how does anybody take even five thousand dollars in an envelope at election time, and you are settled for four years? How long does it take to spend five thousand dollars? I can hear a listener say “try me with it first” how much is five thousand naira? Right now it is two million naira, God forbid that you get ill, you will spend the two million in one hospital visit.
Is it not much better for us to throw this five thousand dollars back at the corrupt politicians and ask him where he got it from, and say “why don’t you give us a good healthcare system?” Five thousand dollars is not enough to send a child to school for four years in a good school in Nigeria today, not a good secondary school, not a good university. Go invest this in our educational system. Five thousand dollars would not fix a good car that gets ruined on a bumpy road that breaks its axil.
