Say It Like It Is....

I came across this picture on Twitter yesterday and I was impressed at the apt message it conveyed. We must learn to call a spade a spade in this parts of the world. If you know for a fact that your father, mother, uncle, husband is into shady and corrupt dealings yet you keep mum about their illicit activities, then this signage is talking to you. You know it is not their salaries they are living on, but on hefty bribes and shady deals, then look up because that signage is for you. Yup, I said it.

I'm tired of the terrible image of wanton thievery Nigerians are portrayed as in other countries. It's time we begin to speak out and genuinely condemn corruption in our system. We can do so much better with our infrastructures, given our resources, but because some greedy politrickians, civil servants and individuals have chosen to steal away our futures, we continue to wallow in poverty.
