You are not a patriot grin

Not in this our current Nigeria. I'm definitely far from being a patriot.

Wasn't it Jonathan that boasted he made many millionaires and billionaires? That is what you get when cronyism is equated with statescraft. The earlier the poor and moderate income people demand for a fairer Nigeria and fight hard it the better Nigeria will be. You can never have a fair Nigeria when you have useless yoots who defend the rich when steals and condemns the poor for doing the same thing. Nigeria wake up.

"O ye foolish Galatian, who has bewitched you?"

What you are saying does not make any sense.

You are still beating about the bush.

The World Bank is telling you that the gap between your monthly N30,000 stipend as a first class "online ranter" for Buhari and the alleged billions made (no one has denied that till date) by "Tunde" Sabiu (Buhari's nephew) is too wide.

That's what they are saying.

Right. This is not about Buhari vs. Jonathan. It is about WE vs. THEM. The playing field in Nigeria is too much rigged.

Hello, it is about the widening of gaps between the rich and the poor.

That is what income inequality means right, isn't it?

If so, who destroyed the middle class in the last two years?

The middle class was growing before the plague happened on Nigeria.

There was some form of upward trajectory in income.

Quite a number of entrepreneurs sprouted in unbelievable ways.

Many of them without access to government funds.

Check out the 2013 McKinsey & Co report for instance.

Africa’s growing giant: Nigeria’s new retail economy

https://www.mckinsey.com/business-functions/marketing-and-sales/our-insights/africas-growing-giant-nigerias-new-retail-economy

The millions of jobs that have been lost made the gap wider.

The current available jobs such as the N30,000 job your guy is employed to do online cannot match-up to the several thousands of managerial level employment lost in finance, manufacturing, tech, building, entertainment etc. sectors.

Your WE & THEM theory is not well thought through, perhaps.

There's no where in the world where you don't have rich people.

The important thing is the flexibility of social mobility.

Social mobility ensures people have hope.

Poor people are assured of becoming rich some day by sheer grits.

The playing field was not so rigid before Buhari's presidency.

It is when you have such stiff atmosphere that the rich unleash their "survival" strategies.

Such strategies as giving their children in marriage to Buhari's government officials.

Do you get it now?

But bros, be fair. Godfatherism did not start with Buhari. Neither did the rich and political elite perpetuating their exclusive club. Buhari only made it worse.
