OF ROGUE POLITICIANS AND THEIR COLLABORATORS IN NIGERIA
Fanikayode, Deputy Premier Western Region c.1964/65: 'They call us the chop-chop party. So?Who doesn't want to chop?...Don't you want to chop?...Ah,me, I want to chop o! ' ( Wole Soyinka. Ibadan: the penkelemes years p.413 )

Our political leaders have always found willing collaborators from within their upper class origins and the middle class to bring stagnation & backwardness upon the country. Yet they are the ones who pontificate when they don't get appointments and contracts.

These 'rogue elite' ( courtesy @sarnchos ) bear no sense of responsibility to the country. No allegiance. In fact, they sneer at those who don't have a 2nd passport, they don't respect the common citizens. Their aim is to loot and stash abroad.

If not for @MBuhari, Nigeria would have become bankrupt and these detestable souls would have sneered at us from their mansions and apartments abroad.

Yet they keep vilifying a govt. that is only trying to put things right.

It's always shocking when I read some statements from PDP and their supporters. They think we don't know, ' what they did last summer?'
They think we don't remember how their people were running a stealing competition? The motto was: Head an agency & wreck it.

The embittered yesterday's men of the PDP and their collaborators don't really respect Nigerians. They can't wait to come back to loot. Well, I leave Nigerians to decide when they want to let the @OfficialPDPNig back to power.

Nigerians must decide the kind of leadership they want. We can not keep joining haters of good works to keep badmouthing a hard-working government because there is no 'free money' in circulation.
We must learn to think long term.

Somebody has tagged FFK for me. Well!😀
