Let's Pull Down These Structures Of Corruption by Validated: 1:10pm On Dec 29, 2022
Fellow Nigerians it is time to dismantle the structures that have held Nigeria hostage for about a quarter of a century.

We tried PDP for 16 years and Nigerians have nothing to show for it. Rather, we were thrown into deeper level of corruption and magnified indiscipline. We said we were tired and we watched the same people hoodwink us in the name of another structure they name APC.

WE foolishly followed them. The same people that destroyed Nigeria from North to South, they claimed that they have changed. They promised us CHANGE, but gave us horror. As if that was not enough, the increased violence to NEXT LEVEL of poverty, next level of banditry, next level of poverty, next level of killing. Now after destroying the fabric of our society, they offer us hopelessness and disunity in disguise.
They were there for the past quarter of a century. They could not provide hope nor unity, they have come with their evil deception. We are not buying this time.

For close to a quarter of a century, they could only achieve the following:
- Corruption: they now steal in billions and trillions, while EFCC and ICPC are busy chasing shadows. Even a mere accountant general could easily siphon over N80 billions. Some parastatals have become conduit pipes for stealing of our wealth. NNPC, NDDC, NPDC, NLNGC, The Nigerian Army, The Nigeria Police, etc have become conduit pipes for our national wealth decimation.
Now imagine what corrupt acts that have not been revealed.

- Power: Over 200 years after the rest of the world was lit up, we are still struggling with common services like electricity. We praise 15 hours on in 48 hrs days and say they are trying. Just imagine if a winter storm was to happen in Nigeria, more that 50% would be dead. Just imagine the impact of a common cold. We are still consoling ourselves because we are better than war torn Somalia or even religiously faced Afghanistan. We all saw how half of Nigeria was submerged in flood, next year it will repeat, they will DO NOTHING again.

- Poverty: We are now competing for world capital of poverty. Our national currency is now worse than Zimbabwe Dollars. The world mocks us, while we jokingly laugh at our ignorance and may I say, STUPIDITY?

- Banditry and Insecurity: We are now host to three most deadly terror groups in the world. The Boko Haram, ISWAP and Fulani Herdsmen. Our nation has been turned to a huge killing field. ESN is ravaging the SE, while kidnapping for ransom has become a pastime for criminals. Yet, the army, police and security agencies would rather harrass innocent civilians.

- Unemployment: They promised 3million jobs annually, but delivered 3 million Yahoo-yahioo boys and 3 million prostitutes (hook-up gurls) annually. Our sons and daughters now graduate with degrees to sell recharge cards or operate phone booths. What a shame. We now pay graduates N30k ($40) a month (for NPower and they are happy.

- Healthcare: Our hospitals are now mere consulting clinics. Our Doctors are fleeing "japa-ing" daily. While our hospitals are in shambles, they, the politicians use our money to seek healthcare abroad. Our leaders have their health records in UK, US, GERMANY, FRANCE, etc. We, the people are left to nothing, but empty hospitals without doctors and medicines.

-Education: Our schools are nothing to write home about. We are promised free and qualitative education at election times, yet our schools are closed for more days in a year than is expected. Our graduates spend 7 years for 4 years programme. Our degrees are demeaned world over. Yet our leaders send their children to US, UK, CANADA, etc for studies. Yet we fight for them to continue to ruin us.

- Families: Over 70% of Nigerian families are in distress, unemployed, under-employed or in destitution. Yet our politicians and their families celebrate birthdays in Dubai, London and US. They lavish our scarce foreign reserve earnings in living large abroad. Some have permanent homes in UK, UAE and New York. Yet, we defend them because they are from our TRIBE.

-Japa Phenomenon: Our professionals are leaving in droves to Canada, US and Europe. UAE, Qatar and other oil producing arab countries now host our young ones and hired them into modern day slavery. Our leaders see nothing wrong. A Nigerian life is not worth that of a dog in some countries. Do they (Politicians) care? A bike only makes noise for one week so that SM will not attack her, thereafter, matter ends.

Our Debt Profile: We have become ONIGBESE world over. The World Bank and IMF have stopped lending to us. We turned to China, those ones are now tired, we have now turned to the Aravs. Perhaps when those ones stop we would begin borrowing from Other Africans.

These are some of the benefits of PDP abdAPC structures. Yes, we the same politicians that created the structures that have held Nigeria in captivity are the same people we support to continue the looting.
We aggressively support our captors as if we are now infected by the proverbial "THE STOKHOLM SYNDROM" effect.
We abuse one another because we support our captors. They give us the leftovers and we gladly want to die for them. They invite us to rallies and give us N2000 ($2.50) a dat, and we are glad. They pay our people N3k to sell their votes or eve PVC.
The seemingly educated ones are worse. They struggle with unemployment, do manual labour and managed to buy cell phones and use the phones, buy data for N5000 to support those that created their poverty and unemployment

The politicians know us too well. All they do is press our MUMU BOTTONS, namely:
- Ethnicity: They polarize us on the basis of ethnicity. It is our turn they will tell us. Instead, ask yourself what did your father, your sick old father benefit for supporting them since 1999 on the basis of "it is our turn".
- Religion: They divide us with religion. Muslims should vote Muslim, Christians should vote Christians. I ask, does your religion give your better values for your weakened Naira? Do muslims pay less for petrol or bag of rice than Christians? Does the Igbo buy yam cheaper than Yoruba or vice-versa? OUR MUMU NEVER DO?

The time to evolve is now. If your building is defective, collapsing or partially collapsed, you do not go about trying to patch the structure together. The current structures presented by both PDP and APC have structural defects and need to be pulled down, so that we can erect a better one. Or possibly work Nigeria without structure or with less corruptible ones.

Fellow reasonable Nigerians, let us dismantle PDP and APC and build on a foundation we can trust. Let us galvanise under a New Nigeria that the Labour Party offers. We believe that Peter Obi and Datti Ahmed, the current faces of Labour Party are the most reliable and better pair than the rest. We believe that the new Nigeria we seek is possible with Perer Ob and Datti Ahmed. We believe that, even without the "traditional structures of poverty and corruption", we can move Nigeria out of the current precipice it is.

Let us kill the PDP and APC structures now or they will kill us first!
