SUBOR SPEAKS AGAIN - DRAMATIC NAIJA

The muse to pen this down really arose because I found myself laughing and crying at the same time. You wouldn't believe how very true this could, I never did too until I found myself in this sporadic state. What then could have caused this?? It’s the dramatic politicking we have chosen to play.

Our drama has elements of Comedy and Tragedy. Comedy, though not the supposed comedy as defined by Literature but Comic Relief, Literature taught us. If you want to see sarcasm of the apex degree, relax and follow Nigerian’s political scenes as they unfold. I can’t help but laugh out so loud seeing Melaye, A senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria putting on graduation gown to the senate plenary. Please and please, was that to certify he truly graduated?? Was it console himself that he hope really graduated?? I even never knew our senator could fit in to Yoruba movies till He sang and dance to demean himself, his status and the whole entire member of the House of Senate against his intended prosecutors. Isn't this dramatic truly??

The tragedy is that the whole world is looking at great level of mediocrity. Nigeria, where the empty barrel makes the loudest of noises, where you miraculously graduate proximately after your service year, where you display your stupidity to the core putting on a graduation gown to plenary session, where you are the judge in your own case. 

The most tragedy part of the whole story is that these inhumane beings are entrenching their hegemony on the poor masses. I really do not think they have you and I on mind, If they do, compelling someone to put on a uniform won’t be the theme in a plenary session where loads of youths are still unemployed, people are starving of hunger, where the whole country is in a total mess so to qualify.

The stance of an average Nigerian who from inception has been doubting the worthwhileness of acing academic pursuits has now been duly justified because he had seen someone who we hold to the highest esteem despite falsifying results. Students have now seen a Third class graduate (with no strong basis to justify his graduation though because he was opportune to have served before graduation) in an ample of wealth and riches.

The Former CBN Governor had blown the greatest whistle one can ever blow by exposing the fact that a significant portion of our budgetary allocations goes to the earnings of the Upper and Lower Houses. There is no need of course to gain-say the fact that Soludo meant well for us (Nigerians) and should be wonderfully compensated for blowing such an alarming whistle, though, to show how hypocritic and dramatic we are, he was suspended, no wonder I wasn't surprised hearing the latest suspension of another whistle blower; Ndume. Senate is killing us, political office holders have turned bees and have kept us in their hive to feed on, but truly “Diaris God” according to “her”. So Saraki doesn’t deserve to be suspended amidst evils he has done and Melaye doesn't deserve sanctions for falsifying results?? Again Continuu; according to “HerRoyal Highness”.

Let me rest my case here and keep watching our political drama, where exactly will this end??? We are tired of laughing and crying at the same time, isn’t that madness???
