The Nigerian Politician's Approach to Governance; Fire brigade Approach, the culture of idiots:

It was in late 2007. Ekenedilichukwu Motors Boss was being laid to rest in his hometown of Okofia Nnewi.

Okofia Nnewi houses the Basic Medical Science faculty and the College of Health Sciences of the Nnamdi Azikiwe Univeristy Nnewi campus.

The road to this school that continues producing thousands of health workers; doctors, nurses, laboratory scientists, anatomists etc was (or is) in great disrepair. Cars hardly ply the very bad road.

The government of Anambra state in Awka did not remember that the road existed or maybe that the school existed.

The school and the road looked like what Nollywood would use to act a village scene in the 1920s. No electricity, no roads, no water, with rats and squirrels sharing the same space with these medical doctors and health care workers to be.

But during the burial of Ekenedilichukwu Motors boss, the government tarred the road from the junction down to his house and stopped the work immediately after his house.

His burial would bring many foreign and local VIPs to Anambra state. The governor had to be seen to be working.

.....................................................................

The entire road in Nnewi, the busiest and largest industrial city in Anambra state were completely dilapidated.

Nkwo Nnewi houses the biggest motorcycle spare parts market in Africa.
Thousands of shops in that market though looking like scenes from the 18th century houses multiple hundreds of millions of Naira and hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Nnewi was left to rot untill Ikemba Nnewi, the Biafran Hero and liberator General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu died.

In 3 days, the government of Anambra state tarred all the roads leading in and out of Nnewi.

Ojukwu's burial was estimated to attract and indeed attracted thousands of important dignitaries including serving heads of State.
The state government suddenly remembered that Nnewi had roads and was an economic hub. It took the death of Ikemba to build Nnewi roads, which has since been left without any attempt at repair.

Most Reverend Dr. Valentine Ezeonyia was the bishop of Aba for almost 25 years.

During this time he built more than 7 hospitals, countless schools, banks, and church owned industries all owned by the Aba Catholic diocese.

When he died in 2015, the Catholic faithful were the ones to contribute money to tar the STATE GOVERNMENT ROAD leading to the Cathedral.

The ignoble governor of Abia state then, Theodore 'Ahayafuo' Orji was later pelted with water satchets and prevented from giving his speech during the funeral.

..................................................................................................

The people of Oko in Anambra state have been living with poorly maintained roads and facilities. No available security and non-existent street lights.

Oko houses the Federal Polytechnic Oko, the school single handedly engineered to become a federal university by Dr. Alex Ekwueme.

It took the death of Alex Ekwueme for the Anambra state government to tar the roads, put street lights, install air conditioned tents and even the church that was used for his funeral got a face lift.
...................................................................................................

President Muhammadu Buhari is said to have spent more than one billion naira during the burial of Alex Ekwueme.

General Buhari jailed Alex Ekwueme unjustly for 22 months and even his allowances as a deputy president was irregular.
President Buhari had promised that he would use Nigerian health care facilities during his campaigns in 2014.

But the president has since confessed upon winning the elections that he had been using his UK doctors since time immemorial even before he became a head of state.

The Aso rock clinic in Abuja has no xrays or syringes according to Aisha Buhari the wife of the president, but Buhari has spent more time in UK hospitals than he has spent governing.

Even Yusuf his son was flown abroad for medical care after carelessly endangering his life and other motorists.

Chris Nwabueze Ngige, the man who had installed a public borehole in my community that worked for only 2 days would boast that the president flew Alex Ekwueme to london to access care.

This short man bothering on the height of a pygmy sadly happens to be a medical doctor and was not even ashamed that in a country of nearly 200 million black heads, there was no facility to treat the former vice president.

This little man would never reflect that Nelson Mandela and Jacob Zuma and all other south african heads of state have never been treated outside their country.
............................................................................................

It is evident from the foregoing events that the Nigerian political class do not care at all if the masses live, Bleep, and die in horrible circumstances, but are quick to score cheap points, pose for the camera and deceive the world that they are working.

These people are so insensitive that they boast of using state resources to source for personal treatment overseas, expect the people to lick their ass for performing their civic duties and discharging their responsibilities as officials and revel in vain glory.

Clearly if it takes the death of a prominent person to remedy the amenities in a community as it plays out in Nigeria, one can then justifiably say that it would take the massive death of the Nigerian prominent political class to get the country to transit from a zoo to a human enclave.

That argument is justifiable.

what a paradox... we have successfully replicated our attitudes such that our leaders reflects us... bad leadership is a product of bad followership
