POLITICS OF OIL MONEY Politics and Leadership thing in Africa are always do or die affairs. The game is always a winner takes all. No concession for looser. However, the main purpose are to grab all the wealth of the nation, corner all the lucrative contracts, secured better live for their unborn generations and then sit down to check-mates the majority poor citizens with an unnecessary government policies that will never see the light of the day. New PDP, old PDP or APC to me are just alphabetical jig-saw, same sets of people that have ruled and are still ruling in Nigeria , they are still same 10 and 10 pence, what they were doing is just ‘re-branding’ to gag Nigerians. A friend of mine recently commented about this gathering of Political big-wig or men of ‘Timbers and Calibres’ apology to late Chief Ozumba Mbadiwe that ‘’Nigerian politics & peoples amazes me on. Most northern youths throughout 2day ave been posting up Amaechi, up APC Amechi this, ameachi that, which keeps one wondering why they are crying more than d bereaved Meanwhile myraids of problems plagues the north, insecurity, tension, child marriage, high illiteracy rates, sharia laws, amongst others. I heard boko haram have now gone in2 kidnapping & raping of women. Yet no northerner is talkin abt it.’’ Meanwhile, in as much as I am bothered with the high-illiteracy, Sharia laws, and Boko-Haram issues in the Northern parts of Nigeria, because high-illiteracy begot Boko-Haram and majority of my Northern people see nothing wrong with it, then why must I bother myself with that? What really concerns me are the Unity of the country, security of the citizenry, and welfare of the people of Nigeria in general. What benefits is it when majority Nigerians cannot feed themselves, while few ‘cabal’ are smiling to their banks in the name of corruptions. During the weekend, a bus heading to Borno state from Abuja was halted in a border town in Maiduguri & two ladies were kidnap! Also, 30 people returning from a wedding were also killed, including the groom while the bride was raped & kidnapped. About two days ago, Col.Tony Nyiam(Rtd) resigned from Presidential Advisory Committee because he did not like freedom of speech, he still dreaming as a military officer, where order is order. A Gestapo style where lies and deceits are the in thing. Moreover, since the APC political train have now arrived in Port-Harcourt , to carry Rotimi Amechi, I wish them save trip back to Abuja. In Nigeria, the rich are getting richer, while the poor are getting poorer everyday . It is only in Nigeria, you will see that only the children of elites, either serving government officials or ex-political this or that are at the top of the ladder. At the same time,If you are not from a very influential figure in Nigeria, or you are not connected to corridors of power, forget about it; because your rise to affluence and power is attributed to parental or family influence. All the oil blocks in Nigeria were share among themselves; this is politics of OIL MONEY. Despite the fact that economy of the country remains on the promissory notes, the economist and the entire financial guru were unable to proffer any solution, people are still making billions.
