Nigeria, a bastion of corruption…

I know a federal civil servant in one of the ministries who had two children in a boarding school in the UK paying £32,000 annually for the two. If you were to add other expenses he spends in an average year, the total sum of may be £40,000.

The civil servant kept this children in this school in Brighton since when they were ages 9 and 11. The argument he advanced then was they will be given citizenship when they turned 18years and they nearly made it.

But the tide turned against him and by 2016 ending, he was forced to withdraw the children because the FREE MONEY OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT dried up, combination if TSA, BVN and other policies if government made free money impossible.

I remember when I saw him in 2017 February, he was full of hatred for President Buhari….he was really cursing the man and you can see he hates Buhari with passion.

He told me Buhari presidency is the worst ever he had experienced since he joined the civil service.

I did not want to ruffle feathers because he is a friend, a school mate etc so I was soft on him.

But I asked him at a time why he was saying the presidency is that bad…his response was, it wasn’t realising money as before. I went further to ask, were you being owed salary? He told me no. He further told me to forget the whole discussion if I didn’t understand what he was taking about….

Hmmm…it was clear, he was and still in juicy ministry but the system put in place now made near $10,000 he makes illegally monthly fried up…he is very confused now.

He is putting up for sale some of his properties. He has sold a gas station in Oyo state…Nemesis has caught up with him…he is developing hypertension, high blood pressure with other peculiar sickness he had been nursing before the bp.

He needs medical attention which he travels to Germany for every 6months and the last visit was so bad that he sold a choice house to fund the treatment. What the federal government ought to have been used in building hospitals had went into His wallets and dispersed. He may need to sell all to treat himself now!!!

Fast forward the above story and listen to another story…

A massive hotel in Gowon estate Lagos was under construction. The construction started in 2014 December when the young guy who later turned to be a custom officer, equivalent of a major in the army who is stationed in Apapa wharf bought three plots of land for N100m plus. He later bought another house besides the plots for N300million. Knocj6ef the house down and made the plot 4 plots of land.

He commenced the construction in January 2015 but by January 2017 or so, construction works stopped entirely on the land.

I later learnt during one of my travels to Lagos that he was transferred from Wharf and he is now in a border town in the North East.

If he could spend N400m to acquire land and spent so much on the construction, I did ask each time, how much had he illegally acquired.

Once again, he has put the site up for sale demanding for N1.5billion claiming that he wants to retire and relocate to the U.S.

Wow!!!!

Now, when I went home for my mum’s burial, in order to secure full information from him, I told the agent I wanted to purchase it and I was put through to him.

We met for two hours and at least he complained for one and half hours of the time about this presidency.

He said Buhari’s presidency is the worst presidency ever. He said many people are hungry and there was no money again in circulation.

He had catalogue of curses for this presidency.

I knew I wasn’t buying, yet priced it for N1billion. He knew I reside in the UK and he was negotiating to be paid in dollar or pound sterling telling me he has accounts in the UK and US.

Conclusion:
I have relinquished political discussion for a while because of the pace in which this presidency was conducting it’s affairs.

Buhari failed the litmus test I set for him in 2014, hence I was docile and reluctant to campaign for him today.

But one thing is clear about this presidency, he had shut out many thieving civil servants, politicians, armed forces members etc.

If a government is not doing something spectacular but at the same time it was not stealing, at least we may know where we stand and that is what I saw with Buhari presidency.

The race is between PDP and APC. That is the reality.

These two guys I mentioned made money ilkegally under the PDP presidency but the source of the money has dried up during APC presidency.

If we want another 4years of total turning off of public or commonwealth tap from these thieves, we should look at the side of APC presidency under Buhari.

Atiku is not a man of character!!!

I would have looked at the side of Sowore, Oby, Fasua etc but the political calculations will make the emergence of any of these guys impossible in 2019.

Therefore, we need to talk about next level, at least for the next 4years and hopefully, the youth would have learnt lessons that, “UNITED WILL STAND, DIVIDED WILL FALL”

Thank you folks and God bless you.
