@Anifelconsult@ogundamisi They made us believe that was arrangements but in reality, it's not. Some streets will be smelling for weeks. I came out one morning and our drainage was full of trash simply because rain fell midnight.
The same networks that can't trace a kidnapper's SIM card in 48 hours can flag a dissident's phone in hours when political interest is at stake. That asymmetry is not accidental;it's a priority architecture.
@Omargbebi I never take sowore serious at all. He's a clown activist. Claiming to fight for the masses and the rot in government but there is no record of freeing any common man from detention or at any point make the government do better. Shashasha.
But true to Bayo's insensitivity & lack of empathy, there are certain cycles you find yourself that you will forget, albeit momentarily, that hunger do exist in Nigeria, especially if you're naturally wicked & close to Satan. I believe that even the BATidiots that always jump to defend this man are disappointed with his stupidity, because a lot of them are hungry as we speak, or do not know where the next meal is coming. Do you think that Ekiti Bread Drama was just a joke? It spells the reality of the people today. May we not be in the condition that we will become so heartless & insensitive. @aonanuga1956
Corruption in the Western imagination is always somewhere else.
It is the African official with the Swiss bank account. The Latin American strongman skimming from the infrastructure budget. The Asian bureaucrat with his envelope of cash.
It is never the defense contractor who writes the legislation that funds his own contracts.
It is never the pharmaceutical company that buys the regulatory agency that is supposed to contain it.
It is never the financial sector that crashed the global economy, received trillions in public money, prosecuted no one, paid its bonuses that year, and then funded the think tanks that wrote the papers explaining why this outcome was the correct one.
That is not called corruption in the Western taxonomy.
That is called lobbying.
That is called the revolving door.
That is called campaign finance.
That is called public-private partnership.
That is called the market correcting itself.
The terminology is doing everything.
Corruption requires a deviation from a norm.
When the plunder becomes the norm, when the extraction is the system rather than a violation of it, the word corruption no longer applies.
And that is precisely when the rot is most complete.
When you can no longer name what is happening to you because the people who control the language decided it doesn't have a name.
The United States overthrows governments that provide free education and healthcare, then installs regimes that torture, kill, and steal.
Then it has the audacity to point at the ruins and say:
"See? They cannot govern themselves."
This is like burning a house, salting the earth, and then laughing that nothing grows there.
I do not understand how anyone can see this pattern and still talk about "American leadership" with a straight face.
