A very big yes

Poem written by proffesor niyi osundare

My Lord
Please tell me where to keep your bribe?
Do I drop it in your venerable chambers
Or carry the heavy booty to your immaculate mansion
Shall I bury it in the capacious water tank
In your well laundered backyard
Or will it breathe better in the septic tank
Since money can deodorize the smelliest crime
Shall I haul it up the attic
Between the ceiling and your lofty roof
Or shall I conjure the walls to open up
And swallow this sudden bounty from your honest labour
Shall I give a billion to each of your paramours
The black, the light, the Fanta-yellow
They will surely know how to keep the loot
In places too remote for the sniffing dog
Or shall I use the particulars
Of your anonymous maidservants and manservants
With their names on overflowing bank accounts
While they famish like ownerless dogs
Shall I haul it all to your village
In the valley behind seven mountains
Where potholes swallow up the hugest jeep
And Penury leaves a scar on every house
My Lord
It will take the fastest machine
Many, many days to count this booty; and lucky bank bosses
May help themselves to a fraction of the loot
My Lord
Tell me where to keep your bribe?
My Lord
Tell me where to keep your bribe?
The “last hope of the common man”
Has become the last bastion of the criminally rich
A terrible plague bestrides the land
Besieged by rapacious judges and venal lawyers
Behind the antiquated wig
And the slavish glove
The penguin gown and the obfuscating jargon
Is a rot and riot whose stench is choking the land
Behind the rituals and roted rigmaroles
Old antics connive with new tricks
Behind the prim-and-proper costumes of masquerades
Corruption stands, naked, in its insolent impunity
For sale to the highest bidder
Interlocutory and perpetual injunctions
Opulent criminals shop for pliant judges
Protect the criminal, enshrine the crime
And Election Petition Tribunals
Ah, bless those goldmines and bottomless booties!
Scoundrel vote-riggers romp to electoral victory
All hail our buyable Bench and conniving Bar
A million dollars in Their Lordship’s bedroom
A million euros in the parlor closet
Countless naira beneath the kitchen sink
Our courts are fast running out of Ghana-must-go’s*
The “Temple of Justice”
Is broken in every brick
The roof is roundly perforated
By termites of graft
My Lord
Tell me where to keep your bribe?
Judges doze in the courtroom
Having spent all night, counting money and various “gifts”
And the Chief Justice looks on with tired eyes
As Corruption usurps his gavel.
Crime pays in this country
Corruption has its handsome rewards
Just one judgement sold to the richest bidder
Will catapult Judge & Lawyer to the Billionaires’ Club
The Law, they say, is an ass
Sometimes fast, sometimes slow
But the Law in Nigeria is a vulture
Fat on the cash-and-carry carrion of murdered Conscience
Won gb’ebi f’alare
Won gb’are f’elebi**
They kill our trust in the common good
These Monsters of Mammon in their garish gowns
Unhappy the land
Where jobbers are judges
Where Impunity walks the streets
Like a large, invincible Demon
Come Sunday, they troop to the church
Friday, they mouth their mantra in pious mosques
But they pervert Justice all week long
And dig us deeper into the hellish hole
Nigeria is a huge corpse
With milling maggots on its wretched hulk
They prey every day, they prey every night
For the endless decomposition of our common soul
My Most Honourable Lord
Just tell me where to keep your bribe.
* Large, extremely tough bags used for carrying heavy cash in Nigeria
** They declare the innocent guilty
They pronounce the guilty innocent

Not suprising sef.....after all their gods "ojukwu [size=5pt]and[/size] kanu" have displayed a mastery of cowardly actions in the past!

Oga ooo. Why dey come write something on top that dead man body

Fyno:
Its not WE that are scared of restructuring but the ever foolish, hopeless,noise making sophisticated slaves aka Afonjas with their fulani slave masters

They would want to fight corruption but refuse the only systematic way of fighting corruption which is restructuring.

Even when the entire South was in the Verge of achieving restructuring, it was this noise makers that embraced their slave masters and drew us 10yrs back.

You cannot fight corruption with our current structure, we have tried it as a country and its not and will never work because human being by nature is corrupt, you can't keep a yam and a goat together and expect the yam to remain untouched.

Civilized countries fight corruption systematically not this archaic way of media trials while govt officials are still involved in corruption.

afonjas are afraid of restructuring. Pls explain.

Don't just talk from both sides of ur mouth

Okay

fake news. wht yardstick is use to rate Lagos as the 5th largest city wen will Ave Anambra that export five billion naira ugu every day. Anambra even have Anambra rice. will should be the first.






seriously obiano don scam us.

kk

the problem with us (Igbo) is that we knw the truth, but we are always economical with the truth. in fact we hate to tell ourselves the truth. enough of shouting afonja wen our state is even worse, a lot of propaganda is used to cover Anambra loop holes

I knw my brother will invade this thread soon. with there dick measuring analysis.

Young03:

they can't be living in another .mans house and be dragging properties with the man
they r temporal beings in Igbo land

keep quite. wht is good for the goose is good for the gander. if this story is from the north. my Igbo brother will have come out with dere dick measurement telling us how the North is backward. yet we are the most hypocritical tribe in Nigeria.

pls don't mind my brother. wanna apologize for his myopia. wht we do in lag is to sell pure water, pirated dics, gala.


we park our self like sardine into one room. like 8 in a room. we refuse to pay when our rent expire. and wen d landlord evict us we start playing the victim card, calling the landlord a tribalist

op we the igbos knw that we are the real coward. at the end of civil ojukwu left and deserted us to go and hide. yet my brother will not see that. we have forgotten how an Igbo supported abacha. we Ave always been aligning with North.

why can't we stop talking about West. wht is our problem. am tired of other tribe calling us flat head, and we keep doing things to show our head is truly flat with little space for adequate functioning of our brain. is dere no poverty in the East. pls let us talk east.

Hardeysolution:
This is a welcome development to the fight against corruption. Please, don't abuse our dear president. The EFCC will do it. I m saying this because I know someone somewhere will start abusing Buhari. Please, who will submit petitions against saraki and other corrupt wicked ones.

the only people that will abuse the president for this, are my people.

they can hate anything

70 years. I just hope my people and kin men will learn from this

FKO81:

When you come down to the South West and the people from Ondo or Ekiti will tell you that they never want to have anything to do with the Ijebu man, Do you want me to explore the discrimination in southwest now you go run for this thread if I start oh
