Chetaala Ilo, Im confused about your agreeing [Very insightful and correct viewpoint actually.] with below position, whilst lavishly praising, in other threads, Ms Oduah (whos our friend, also), whos indicted by same position below! Please, help me out! Im more agreeable with the second paragraph of below excerpt...nothing is happening now, that is new...but, there that there is massive corruption in ALL tiers of Nigerian government---both horizontal and vertical!!! Indeed, it is still difficult to fathom how over 100 security agents could be murdered in cold blood while on official duty and the killers still prance around unmolested. It is perhaps only in Nigeria that a minister would authorise the purchase of two extra cars, apart from her other official vehicles, for N255 million. To think that this is happening at a time when a minister was given the boot in Ghana for merely expressing her desire to acquire up to $1 million through politics only reinforces the extent to which Nigerians are docile and satisfied with the kind of government that they have. The Nigerian minister in question is still in office. It is not just under the current government, governments in Nigeria have always acted as if they exist in a different planet and owe the electorate neither explanations for their actions, nor effective service delivery. Yet, when the time comes to make a change through the ballot box, it is either the same villains are returned to power or they rig themselves back, regardless of what the ballot says. ....From below Punch Editorial.
