A House of Assembly Member or house of Rep member or a senator in his first year receives N100Million or more for constituency projects. In the second year, he receives another N100Million. In his third year, he receives another N100Million. In the fourth year, another N100Million. He has officially received N400Million on your behalf! This is outside the numerous kickbacks and loots he has received from projects he had influenced into the state budget or federal budget for this period. Five months to the end of his tenure, he calls for an empowerment programme. He buys 50 okadas, 20 keke Napeps, 5 Sienna cars, 30 sewing machines, 30 I-pass-my- neighbour generators, and gives 10k to over 200 persons. All these things are shared to only his party faithfuls despite the fact that the money belongs to all irrespective of party affiliation. Also, he mentions a number of schools he has renovated, a number of desk he has donated to numerous primary schools and other petty constructions which is not more than N20Million. All these he has done within his four year tenure. Also, he distributes half a million Naira to party excos who automatically endorse him for a second term! The following week, the jobless youths and miserable village women who have benefited from the empowerment are sponsored to come out with placards to beg the legislator to run for a second term. He considers their demand, and accepts it as a sign of his excellent previous performance and selfless service to his people. He gives them money for transportation through a proxy and the next week he declares for his second term ambition after being begged by his people. Now if you calculate all that he has done, you will see that out of the N400Million he has collected on your behalf for four years, he has barely spent 15% of it on you. You should even be thankful that he has intention of running for a second term, or else, you wouldn’t even have seen a bicycle. Why should he empower you when he does not need you again. Whatever happens to the rest 85% or even more of the money this legislator has received on your behalf is not your business. After all, you did not buy his party nomination form for him while he was contesting, neither did you contribute to his campaign in anyway. So why do you think you can reap from where you did not sow? Many Nigerian electorates are stupid people. How can a lawmaker or Governor buy an okada for you and you accept it as empowerment in this modern age. Tell me, are you not stupid? Can you feed your family with an okada? Can’t you see he is giving you death? And you see people insulting themselves.Killing each other for these stupid politicians.Their wife and children will be abroad and after they have finished using you.He will bring back his family,give his children the best cars,tinted ooo and surround them with armed men.And they will climb on you if you block their way. Funny enough, this practice is going on in the 774 Local Governments in Nigeria, annually. Nigerian electorates are stupid people! Quote me anywhere.
