I got really furious this afternoon when I saw the picture below on Twitter. These politrickcians are really taking the mickey now, aren't they? All these while they left the people hungry and without proper basic amenities and then suddenly, as a part of their campaign strategy, they've all turned Santa Claus, doling out food to the hungry and mentally-weary citizens. At least Santa does his rounds once in a year not once in FOUR years like they are doing.
All this time, not one of these looting politrickcians cared enough to come out to the streets and see how the people are faring. They did not build top class hospitals nor make available jobs for the citizens, but now that they need our votes they are grovelling, cajoling, pleading, bribing and flinging grains and tidbits at the same people they have allowed to get hungry enough to rush these handouts. They now look like messiahs through the starved eyes of the long-forgotten, whose entitlements have been stolen from them without remorse.
It was really upsetting for me to hear that the governor who built a supposed world class stadium in his state (I wrote briefly about that here), fell ill and reportedly had to be flown ahead for treatment. I haven't confirmed this story about his health yet, but one would have assumed he would have been taken straight to the football pitch (for space purposes of course) in this awesome stadium and an IV line set up for him right there and then with nurses and doctors at his beck and call. I mean, why would anyone spent that outrageous amount of money on an entire stadium and not get emergency services, live entertainment, a personal butler and what have you as part of the package?
Here's a Google image I found of what a hospital in Akwa-Ibom looks like and after that is what the interior of a luxury bulletproof van owned by the State governor looks like. Look, you better wake up and smell the coffee whilst sharing the aroma with those around you. We must not continue this way.
I am tired.
