My heart is filled up with lots of rigours, passing through the hurly burly and wishy washy of life in today's Nigeria. The propinquity of today's euphoria & success calls for extreme measurement of work in progress! Kudos to the common man on the streets who by their powers believe so much in hardworking ways of making it in life, and extreme reasonability of planning ahead...
It is a bitter truth that life can be so funny and serious, we either laugh over it or cry over it. But what baffles me most is that life itself doesn't care about such reactions! One would think about life and started laughing; One would think about life and started crying!
Perhaps, that's why William Shakespeare was of the opinion that "Life is really a tale, told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. A world full of deceits, rumors, miscellaneous, mischievousness, highhandedness and donnybrooks. One would know through Epiphany, and likewise in the material world. Everybody want to make it in life by any available means. Life! Life! Life! Life! Life! It is a natural pronouncement for all living things to strive in their own kingdom in order to make a living under the auspices of Karma.
But in this century of ours, especially in the Occidental world, most of the Occidental people wants to work less and receive more and more, even if it requires uncleanness and impiousness. The latest apothegm/slogan in the Occidental world is "money Maketh the man" no money no proper recognition!
Why the segregation and discrimination if I may ask? Why would a single soul have more than1bn in his account or her account, and continue to seek glorified positions(Nigeria Politicians)? Some years back, I tried to juxtapose between the Nigerian politicians and the common man on the streets, then I had my teeth gnashed along the line. Nigerian politics is equivalent to high way robbery, and a game between a patron and his client.
Why would a former governor who is now a senator be receiving salary as erstwhile governor, and at the same time be receiving salary as senator simultaneously. One would wonder if the money is up to the work they do in their so call house of rep and house of assembly that I named house of vampires. In this same house, some idiots would be sleeping, be pressing their corrupt phones while the house session is ongoing. I've witnessed on many many occasions like this, bearing a true testimony of our state of dystopia and Catatonia.
I don't blame them, I only Blame the masses who constitutes the majority (majority carry the votes)for their inherent gullibility and ignorance! The common man on the streets would work fervently and diligently in order to make a living, and also take care of other things if need be; The ways in which the Nigerian politicians put money in their "Never satisfied pockets" is quite different from that of the common man on the streets.
That's why I criticized the president and his government for directing their change agenda on the masses alone, while living the corrupt politicians at the corridors of politics. What change is Mr president and his government talking about? Change yourself, change your cabinet, change your legislooters and Executhieves as I use to call them, and your kinsmen; before you tell Nigerians to habiliment themselves with your change attire. Lolz!
My people, I hope say una get eye to see, una get ear to hear. Make una stop to they sell una vote at the risk of 3yrs suffering and 6month enjoyment! I hope say una go do away with una gullibility come 2019 sha? These politicians are using the gullible ones against the minority through their acrobatic propagandas, and make it a subject of importance to keep their children abroad.
Many would risk their lives because of a politician all because of stipends that cannot sustain their lives for 6 Month. Tell that politician who is willing to send you an errand between life and death to command one of his children to be among you people! I guess you would be a scape goat and hate yourself at that very moment... Lolz!
Well, all is well if not in the well (Viva Aluta).
Aluta Continua, Victoria Acerta. Let us be patient! Every hustler has a pay day (believe in yourself cos there is no limit to what you can achieve in life).
