Political Wonders in Nigeria.

The wife of Senator Bola Tinubu, the grand patriach of APC is in the 7th, 8th and 9th senate. Senator Abba Bukar Ibrahim's wife was in the  8th Assembly and now in the 9th, while the senator had earlier spent 8 years as governor of Yobe State. Former Gov. Theodore Orji was in the 8th Senate and also belongs to the the 9th, and his son is the newly-elected speaker of Abia State House of Assembly. The list is endless. 

A major responsibility of these few "special" Nigerian citizens is to ensure that privileges continue to be granted to selected families to entrench themselves in the nation's body politics.

As it is today, go to any critical sector of the economy, be it Central Bank, NNPC, LNG, Banks and other institutions that drive the economy, it is the children of the same parasitic political elites that are in the engine rooms of these "cash cow" institutions. In the meantime, children of the poor are employed as graduate drivers, marketers of bornvita & milo and sometimes made to dance like "captured monkeys" on major highways to promote those products. There is virtually no level-playing field for young people in the country. 

It's however baffling that many of these same oppressed educated masses are yet to understand that they have been  programmed to "live on crumbs" and die as second class citizens in their country.

That the hordes of political loyalists continue to insult themselves as mere tools or pawns in the chessboard of this game called Nigerian politics is mind-boggling.

That the poor and the oppressed Nigerians regularly come on Facebook and other social media to idolize, eulogise and practically worship the same people that have trampled on their humanity for so long, is the 9th wonder of the World.
