Dearest Tompolo,
How are you and how is the family? Hope
all is well.
I am writing this letter to tell you that I am
your greatest fan. Please do not mind all
these people who are jealousing you. You
are cutting your chunk of the pauper’s
loaf… I mean, national cake, who has the
right to complain? You are not the first
thief, nor will you be the last so whose
business? Jet is the new car, whoever does
not like it should jet!
Government Tompolo my brother, nothing
do you. You have done no wrong. You
fought and terrorized for ‘emancipation’ of
the people and emancipated yourself. Now
you fly with the big vultures. Who has the
right to complain and ask what you have
done for your people? You are not the
messiah-on-earth, like her highness, the
Dame, so why should you have rather used
your Goodluck-given money to set-up a
research and development mega center in
Warri for the hapless and helpless youth of
Nigeria? Why should you have spent your
share of the masses wealth, cleaning up the
swamps to save lives? Did you spill the oil?
Why should you spend your bounty
creating grassroot employment;
developing large scale commercial fishing
in the Delta? Are you an American with
such compassion and communal foresight?
Definitely not! You are a simple and
ordinary Nigerian. Chop, I chop, awwuf no
dey run bele. If wishes were airplanes,
beggars will fly. When you complained, you
never claimed your gripe was with others’
stealing the people’s money; your
movement was always for the opportunity
to steal it for yourself.
And who was that that said you were paid
$103.4million (N15billion) to secure the oil
pipelines and that rather now, oil vandalism
is at its worst in history? They better mind
their business oh! Are you Lord Luggard
that created Nigeria, or are you Mandela?
Your name is ‘Government’ and not Jonah
who volunteered and jumped into the belly
of the fish to save the boat, so why will
you be the first thief to do at least quarter
of what he was paid for? Tompo, this is
your greatest fan telling you to mind no
one.
Tompolo, given the opportunity you have, I
myself who is talking here, I will buy
bombardier and fly as high as possible
over the common rats. I wish the plane can
drop droppings, so I can even mess on
them. Who no like better thing? Money fall
in, Aluta stop! Your boys will never stone
you for betraying them, they will still fight
and die for you, trust me. It is the way of
the beast. They respect you with your jet,
and they will even lie down for you to
crush them as runway to take off. People
will break heads with mace’s for you,
Tompolo. No more go-slow. In the words of
Pastor Oritsejafor, ‘your schedule is very
complicated, your mission and service for
humanity deserves no delay…why should
you wait unduly for 5 hours layover at
Jakarta airport, when you can use that time
to save the Niger Delta!’ Why should the
poor elderly get some welfare from their
rightful entitlement in the nation’s coffer,
when they can simply die while you fly?
Why should Nigeria’s wealth be used to
build roads to reduce deaths, when you
can dip in and jet off? Why should those
whose homes got flooded and are still
squatting, dying in silence, be rehabilitated,
when you and your friends can have a jets
party?
How will you be remembered, if you were
known to have given it all for your
townsmen, statesmen and countrymen? A
moral Tompolo! Never! Virtue na for mumu.
Now your name will be etched in the sands
of time, like Abacha. Like Anini. Like Hitler,
like Maitatsine, like Osama, you will never
be forgotten. There f-lies Government
Tompolo. By the way, presidential
bodyguard Asari done deposit for his own?
Soon you people can be doing sky race fa.
Big boss, permit me tell you a brief story to
make you appreciate how superbly you are
helping us reduce the overpopulation
problem in Nigeria: You see; one day in
2000, when I was doing my house-job,
there was a young man who needed N50
for chloramphenicol to defeat his Typhoid
fever. We had placed him on some of the
drug and he was improving, able to talk to
his fiancé. As they ran out of money, we
house-officers donated the N50 to keep
him on the drugs till his fiancé returned
from her journey home to get more
money. That Friday as some of us closed, a
colleague came to me and returned my N20
contribution, telling me that his fiancé had
returned. Long story short, she did return,
but with no money. By Monday when I
returned to work, the young man’s bed
was empty. He died because Nigeria’s big
boys stole funds that should have
supplemented health-care. N50- one life
lost. Now, just imagine how many lives you
are helping us take off the roads, to reduce
our traffic congestion and competition for
dwindling resource. Your $13 million
bombardier money > lives? Your $100
million oil protection money that you have
‘rightly’ used to protect the oil thieves >
lives? And so much grease for you, chief,
the N1.5 billion Nigeria loses daily, thanks
to your overall protecting only the thieves
and vandals with the contract largesse
from your brother, Mr. Presido > countless
lives!
And lest I forget, please ignore the Pope
who offered the following prayer against
imperialists and the arrogant, usurpers, this
Saturday at St. Peter’s Square: ‘When man
thinks only of himself, of his own interests
and places himself in the centre, when he
permits himself to be captivated by the
idols of dominion and power, when he
puts himself in God’s place, then all
relationships are broken and everything is
ruined; then the door opens to violence,
indifference, and conflict.’
Is it not the good book that says: ‘For the
poor always ye have with you; but me ye
have not always.’ The question the Pope
should ask himself is- if there are no
usurpers, aggressors, mismanages, looters,
how will this prophesy be fulfilled? And my
brother, how will the kind get the reward
promised: ‘He who is kind to the poor lends
to the LORD, and he will reward him for
what he has done.’ If ‘messiahs’ like you do
not loot the money of the masses and
condemn… I mean, deliver many more to
poverty.
May the roads in the sky be free of
potholes, and may red light never catch
your plane. May your landings be gentle
like a baby sleeping.
Sincerely yours from the ground
