EVERY YEAR, SAME SONG.

Poc Umeh will always call them' ambassadors of poverty, merchants of loot with kleptomaniac fingers'.  Our politicians are not ashamed, what's new about them, and what hasn't been said about them? Definitely Nothing! For over 56years, they still campaign with such  words as 'I will build good roads, I will make sure there's electricity, I'll give the youths job including free education' they keep giving us the 'I WILL' promises time and again.  But the question is,  when will these 'I will' stories stop?  Other countries in the world like India, Brazil and the rest all started the 'I will' story with Nigeria, but they have sat up and doing well for themselves.
Our dear country Nigeria just clocked 57years and it's just like a man in his 50s that has no wife, children, or a nice house, the igbos call this type of a man an 'efulefu' meaning a vagabond.

Having said that, it will be nice to know that, the problem is not Nigeria. Rather, it's the ambassadors of poverty ruling the masses. Arguably, Since the year 1979, it has been recycling past leaders, those who have learnt that, politics in Nigeria is a business venture with their respective political offices as their company.  And because our politicians have understood the need to keep the masses hungry, they will give their sugar-coated promises, and leave without fulfilling any of these promises and then, run back after 4years to start sharing half bag of rice, little sachets of salt, few tin tomatoes, wrappers with which their faces are encrypted to the hungry masses they left behind.

For the past 50years, it has been one story or the other. They promise to provide jobs for the youths, but the only employment they get is that of thuggery and serving as deadly instruments in the hands of these same politicians. They promise electricity, but the masses still wallow in pitch darkness. They also promise good roads, mapping out trillions of naira for road construction yet, nothing is done. And even if they manage to construct, the road will still go with them as it will start crumbling due to the cheap materials used for the construction.

How about the educational Sector? How many of their children are schooling in Nigeria? None! And this is why schools keep going on strike. It's either ASUU strike or ASUP. And little or nothing are done about all these because they have their children schooling in the 'Abroad'. What about the medical sector, definitely nothing to write home about just for a few private hospitals. And this is so because they can easily fly out of the county to get medical attention thereby leaving the poor masses to their fate.

Well, We know that our 'politricktians' who are old stocks can never change, but we wish them an encounter with God on their way to 'Damascus'.
