Market Price For Frozen Chicken....:

2 weeks ago, I bought a carton of Chicken, the very big laps for #7500

Today I go market again for the same thing. The price has doubled.
A carton now sells for #14300.

Me: Why the price high like this na? Chicken scarce?
Woman: Chicken nor scarce my brother. Na becos say Custom dey seize our load when we dey come back from market. Sometimes sef we dey pay huge sum of money to them in order to allow us go.

Meaning....

Corruption will never end in this country, even the customs stationed to safeguard our boundaries will compromise and allow contraband into our country. All you need is toss some cash in their face.

I am not surprised if officials from other sectors of defence are of the same character. Little wonder why Boko harram keeps having more arms, sophisticated equipments even than the Nigerian army. They smuggle these through these customs without getting caught because either a top ranked officer has been paid to keep a blind eye or will be at the route to ensure such arms are delivered safely to Boko Camps.

You see? No wonder top level officer jeeps buying houses in the US, Asia, some even have Companies abroad. Because they earn more than they're paid. This their earning in turn puts the life of the sane citizens they're charged to protect at risk.

I'm sure they will do this even when you're carrying a truck load of Arms. Just settle, you will pass.

It is only who nor settle, who refuse to roger that will be caught, his face will appear for crime fighter.

Now I understand why #Evans was caught. He probably refused to pay his monthly dues or the officer that watched his back went to One country for Omugwo or Treatment.

Naija which way?

Customs just. Asking life difficult for Nigerians.. The economy is bad yet customs duty are so high. Plus confiscating and destroying such items.
