I am traumatized by this mocking of the poor by our Senate. In a decent society we should have had resignations by now. To mock the poor is to mock God. I know where Godswill Akpabio was before Obong Victor Attah gave a hand. Better an honest poor than a rich thief politician

Just a simple philosophical question. If the powerful do not like how the people want to vote should it not be easier to impose a dictatorship. The make belief about democracy is troubling and costly. It’s either we desire democracy or we work on something else

Rice again. From 1983 to 2024 it has held us hostage. Rice rice. How long does it take to grow rice?. And then power. It ratchets up the misery index even though fixing it is not rocket science. Ask Vietnam and Egypt. But in Nigeria corruption cripples. May Nigeria rise up again

Have spent 5 days in the picturesque paradise of Bellagio in Italy just thinking Nigeria. I cannot figure out why the truth about Nigeria’s finances are so hard for power to tell even as incumbents go on a binge at the public expense as the poor choke. Why do the people not rise
