Maybe, you under estimate the depth of the stack ignorance/illiteracy and abject uneducated nature of the people you are dealing with, even if, many of them, hold college degrees. I bet you sir, many of them do not understand the ideas of Common good, oneness of humanity, contentedness, humanity, brotherhood of mankind, community, society, nation, neighborhood, public services, spirit of sharing, etc.,but bask in Me, Me, and mine, mine. slogan.
We may overlook, the mere fact that most of them, may not in truth, express full understanding of the ideas of, for instance: Equality before the law, Justice, liberty and freedom and individual right of belonging to the nation, and moreover, development of culture and the individual and community at the same time, for the benefit of all citizens.
When most of these politicians understand most of these ideas, concepts and human ideals, then, through emulation, most will be able to sincerely see themselves : their lives as really connected to the lives of other peoples ,not only in their FAMILY, nation, community, but to all mankind, and therefore linked naturally together as world community. This may then behoove a sense of, not “we and them” but “US” , and hence, enhance their capacity to engender and foster proper distribution of the wealth of the nation. However, remember that in the end, politics naturally is not based as it were, on REASONABLENESS as such, but most often on, irrationality, because, man, as Freud, says is “a wolf to man”, “HOMO HOMINI LUPUS”. Thank you.
Only genetics can explain the crass misanthropy exhibited by Africans.
Nigerian Politicians have not yet get it together
They need the lesson of being human not inhuman
Inhuman behavior shows that they are animals
When they distribute wealth and riches to their children
The poor masses are also someone’s children
What are they being distributed
Thanks be to God for thoughtful Nigerians
Who understood the need to use their gift of writing
Nigerians need to stand up for the truth
Truth will set us free only when we believe
