Just consider cutting off the head of deadly snakes and end their evil enterprises.This is what we should do with our politicians.
One politician in discussion said that there is no greater enemy than the viper,no greater foe than the Cobra,no greater adversary than the black Mamba,No greater contender than the Boa Constrictor.
This is exactly what our politicians represent.The only way to deal with snakes is to decipher their deceptions , expose their lies and crush their heads.This is what Nigerians should do.
All Nigerian politicians fall into different categories or species of serpents.
Snakes are even beautiful, and honest creatures,if you leave them in their habitat alone they will do you no harm.
So we can’t even compare them with our duplicitous and dishonest politicians who are entirely evil.There is no beauty in their politics.
Before the 1959 general election when I was still a small boy,my late uncle,who was a member of the Action Group ( A.G.) used to take me along to watch Chief Obafemi Awolowo whenever he landed with his helicopter on one of the primary school fields for campaign.As a child I could still imagine the beauty of his campaigns and carriage even though I was more interested in seeing his helicopter.There nothing beautiful about present day politicians and campaigns except to abuse one another.
Either a Cobra is calling the viper as the worst Nigerian enemy or the Black Mamba telling us to watch the Boa Constrictor.
You can even avoid snakes ,but hardly can you avoid Nigerian politicians ,they seem to have infested the polity with venoms.
No greater hypocrites than Nigerian politicians.No greater deceivers than Nigerian politicians.
Their utterances are confusing,their campaigns are confusing,their manifestoes are confusing, their project implementations are confusing,the award of contracts are confusing and so on and so forth.Our morning is their night, and their morning is the night and darkness all over the nation.
How many of our politicians in various dispensations from the seventies can you say that is a role model as a public figure like in other climes.?
Please let us consider cutting of the head of all these deadly snakes and end their political enterprises.Let us cut off their heads without thinking twice.
