This is the story of the trapped 33 Nigerian Miners.


33 Nigerian Miners were trapped underground and the govt sent a capsule down to rescue them one after the other, but the rescue had to be called off as the trapped miners could not agree amongst themselves on who goes first. Zoning was suggested but they could not agree on which zone will go first. Eventually in a struggle to all board at the same time, the capsule was damaged leading to the call off.

Oh dear. Sorry it was almost becoming a nightmare.

In fact the real problem was that FEC awarded the capsule contract to Ibori and we are still awaiting delivery 3 months later.  There is a probe going on to unravel this and retrieve the award sum before we get to the issue of what formula to adopt for the rescue and which miner comes out first.

Meanwhile traditional rulers from the miners' towns are paying solidarity visits to the President to thank him for his efforts to rescue the miners.

And the First lady has just invited the wives of the Nigerian miners to Abuja for dinner at the Hilton! The first ladies from the 36 states will also be in attendance. All including the wives of the miners will wear the [i]"Goodluck for President" [/i]Ankara.

CNN reported early this morning that after 10 months underground all the 33 Nigerian miners have died and the Nigerian govt has declared 7 days of mourning during which period the Nigerian flag will be flown at half mast.

When I attempted to lower my flag to half mast, lo and behold I woke up. Then I realized it was a dream.

If the trapped Chileans were Nigerians, nothing else would have killed them but their shout of EFCC, ICPC, GEJ, IBB, OBJ, INEC, they would probably have killed each other with arguments about which tribe is better, which tribe rules Nigeria better.

For 69 days, what will you have imagined if there were 4 Hausas, 4 Ibos, 4 Yorubas, 4 Efik, 4 Fulanis, 4 Edo people, and 4 4 4 of others? They would have ganged against themselves inside the trap, form organisations, criticise themselves, slap each other with arguments, and lo, they would have been dead in 10 days with arguments.

If they were Nigerians.

[ORDEAL OF TRAPPED NIGERIAN MINERS ]

My "bad" I'm sorry for duplicating the post. What section was this posted, because I attempted to scan the topics to be sure that it was not already posted?

Anyway I thought this satire was a true depiction of what would have happened if the miners had been Nigerian or if the Chliean miners had been trapped underground in Nigeria. I thought the writer of the satire had a true grasp of the leadership problems that Nigeria faces, but hopefully we can not just get a laugh out of this piece, but come up with solutions that will effect the much needed changes to our parochial system of governing. I want to have faith in the Nigerian government in the near future, but as it stands this way of doing things will not change in my lifetime, but I do hope it will make mends in my children children's lifetime.
