The Sordid Tale Of Three Deaths In Nigerian Politics - Cramjones by Nobody: 4:01pm On Nov 23, 2015 |
"Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.” James 4: 13 - 15 This write up is not meant to mock the dead, very far from it, but to reveal the sorry state Nigeria has become, and to teach us a lesson or two. Sadly, we have had 3 deaths in less than 3 months of well-known politicians, and these three have different tales. 1. Diepreye Alamaeseigha: A man whose fondest memories among Nigerians is that who stole his state's resources, arrested in London, jumped bail by pretending to be a woman, came to Nigeria, served jail term, and openly said he forgave OBJ who jailed him. Even in death people still thought and still think he is still alive. Faking his death to avoid another London Bruhaha. How bad can a politician be that people even doubt the day of his death? 2. Abubakar Audu: A man who openly admitted he stole N11 billion of his state loot, and his major campaign promise was to return the loot! . 3. GNS Pwajok: This man was different from the pack. A smart erudite, young, astute, and deeply loved politician. Unfortunately he died, but throughout Plateau state, he is fondly remembered and has remained a huge vacuum in the politics of plateau. What would you be remembered for? Life is so fleeting. Let us get our acts together and make Nigeria great again! -CramJones |

cramjones: The last paragraph is quite a food for thought for you and everyone of us. Aside the 3 you listed, there're more Nigerians who die daily in most sordid manner but no one reports them. Life is indeed vain |

Dust to dust. But as cramjones stated. Seems the Plateau man was well loved. Health is Wealth... Life goes on |
