WELL this is naija so to say! or where should i start from? why are things like this in this nation? i keeps on wondering. all our food now are means of government revenue. WELL like the YORUBA do say: 'isaluwala ologbo, ati keran je ni' meaning the 'ablutioning of cat is to steal meat'. what are we turning everything into in this glorious and great nation?
WE are currently depending on oil money and the funniest thing is that we are turning to agriculture, exporting the food of the people for government revenue. OUR cassava now is being used to enrich the pocket of the government. what am i saying?
well: Cassava is being exported out of the country for the purpose of generating money to boost the economic income of the government but where is the money now? Garri is now sold for 150 naira from the normal 25 naira on the local scene. if Nigerian can point at something for which the money was used for, it would have been better. but where is our cassava money now? ush...shai, it don dey dance in the belly of the people in the high places. well, indeed, such process was initiated for some people to be able to chop their own money from the national wealth. well, may be i should remind Nigerian how the recovered ABACHA loot was spend:
According to the report of MAY 31st, 2009, the NIgerian Punch brought this sad story to mind on its page 7 which read thus: EFCC DENIES 438billion Naira RECOVERED Abacha Loot. what a sad story! well let's check the wright up together:'...the alarm by the UN office on Drugs and Crimes that about $450million (N6.5billion) of the over $3bn(N438bn) alleged to have been stolen by Abacha could not be traced, the EFCC that spearheaded the recovery of the loot has washed its hands off further investigation on the matter. the former chairman of the EFCC, Mr Nuhu Ribadu, was quoted to have said the commission recovered $2bn from Abacha in 2006. two months later, in 2007, former finance Minister, Nenandi Usman reportedly said the funds had been given to the ministers of power, works, health, Education, and water resources. she added that investigations had begun on how the funds were being spent. But Tim Daniel stressed that the missing loot was stashed somewhere, it could not be traced. According to him, the total of $1.9bn so far recovered from the Abacha family by the federal government was significant in assets recovery but added that there were still funds stolen from Nigeria which were yet to be recovered."
The Punch Newspaper reported further what i called the confirmation of all these shameful acts: concerning TAFA BALOGUN's case, of which it was said that N16bn was recovered by the former EFCC boss, the shocker came as the New EFCC boss declared that ONLY N2.6bn was recovered from TAFA. "a very competent source at the EFCC, who could not want to be mentioned, confided in our correspondent that the exact amount of money recovered from Mr. Tafa Balogun is N2.6bn..."Tafa loot" fell short of speculated N16bn." as extracted from the PUNCH NEWSPAPER.
what does this people take us for? a fool? as far as Nigerian is concerned, suddenly if N16bn became N2.6bn definitely, they should stop telling us that all their cassava export is to help us, they should make it know that they are hungary and let them make people realise that all is for their own belly.
what an interesting nation. i wonder! $16.3bn dollars was spent on electricity as acclaimed by the former administration and yet nothing to offer or show for it. Well, if N16bn suddenly becomes N2.6bn. Nigeria should not be supprise if tomorrow they come out with another news that the acclaimed $16.3bn was actually $2.4bn.
well like i said earlier on, this is Nigeria. the world's most interesting nation, the world's best nation, the world's richest nation, although the richer are getting more richer while the poor poorer.
i still believe sha! that God reigneth in the affairs of men.
