The truth about Nigerian politicians.

Nigeria will never progress as long as we have business men running our country. Yes! Our "leaders" are no longer only evil politicians anymore but also evil business men.
During the election all we heard of were promises and promises of a better Nigeria when they are sworn into office. Five months later, Nigerians are not seeing even plans talk less of foundation being laid for some of those promises that were made. So I have concluded that they run Nigeria like a business enterprise. Any useful contribution to the country, like partaking in capital projects, is just a waste of funds to them when it could be in their bank accounts. All they want to make is maximum profit and get out.  Profit at the expense of the rest of us Nigerians. And we sit down looking at them like mumus. I don't blame them sha. If someone is robbing you blind and you don't call out for help, he will keep doing it over and over again.

I heard from a very reliable source that most politicians during the elections go to loan sharks for loans, and then use the money (which run into hundreds of millions of naira) for election campaigning which includes bribery, hiring thugs and supporters and so on. How in God's name don't people want them to steal when they  are in debt before they enter office and have to deal with loan sharks whose conditions before the loan was collected have to be met (scary!).

I am not in any way justifying embezzlement and corruption by our "leaders". I am just putting another perspective as to why politicians have to steal money from Nigeria (apart from greed and trying to maintain their lavish lifestyles).

This post was just an after thought when I saw the following headline:
EFCC Arrests Daniel, Akala and Doma Over N101 Billion Fraud

Well, hopefully EFCC will see these ones through to the very end. Otherwise, they should stop blowing smoke and go back to the background.

(I can bet my....... *thinking*........... *smh*... insert anything valuable that they will not make a conviction, not in three years, not ever!)
