House of humour II

So continuing on the funny side of these leaders. Let me pounce on Jigawa State governor, Saminu Turaki: They say that one stays permanently overseas. The only time he visits his state is when revenue allocation is to be shared so that ha can come and claim his state's share, and when he's on holidays. That means he works abroad permanently. I got to know him during his first term, he was always talking about ICT passionately as if his state was a Silicon Valley. The state is so arid and dry that you begin to wonder where the man got the goggles which he's using for his vision from. His goggles seem to be one stronger than Abe Lincoln's o! He's not even talking about mechanized farming to increase crop yield and boost production or even solar energy generation in a state where the sun is like 100 ft above. Who will leave developed states to start business in a state where there isn't the basic amenities to encourage dwelling and even trade? White men don wash him brain comot. You all know Alams' case, so there's no use repeating old story. Ogun state governor stole so much money during the Gateway games that the President has advised him not to run for second term in his best interest. Gbenga Daniels is known for embracing the press to open the state of things in his state. When the can of worms was opened, we couldn't believe how the governor managed to deceive everybody (including himself) that everything was runnign smoothly. His problem started when he slapped (yes you read well, slapped!!) one of his commisioners who's been helping him day-in day out. People never learn from history, wasn't it the same problem that Tafa balogun had? Temporary governor of Oyo state nko? That one na yellow fever (remember Fela's song?). He bleached every part of his body (including his eyes) and looks like a premature albino. Nothing short of an Area Father, he cannot distinctly express himself in English, especially when engaged in a hot discussion. The man would just switch to SOLID ogbomoso dialect and keep ranting. And this is the man in charge of the coffers of the state?! When I heard what Nuhu Ribadu said about the governor of Zamfara state, I laughed till I pissed. He said sebi people are stealing cows and bicycles in his state and they are cutting their hands, if he opens the different scams and wanton looting of the state treasury that Ahmed Yerima has engaged in, he would be chopped into tiny pieces like suya. Remember it's Yerima's son that dashed out cars to musicians for singing his praise when development is beckoning. And Yerima wants to become president oh. In fact, these people are too nauseating. God help Nigeria!

For Yerima, it would be a gross miscarriage of justice if he isn't amputated!

Lemme add to the Fayose tale.....I remember sometime in late 2005, AD was having a rally in Ado-Ekiti,the state capital...ok somewhere along the line a big fight broke out between AD thugs and PDP thugs, the state's CEO got wind of it and rushed to the scene..decked in a tee and black jeans wit white timbs tomatch. B4 u could say jack...the tee shirt was off and the governor was helping himself to car windshields with a baseball bat he brought along....dem born TV to record at that point abi all men they run helter skelter, if govn'r na thug then who is safe?

This is so sad - and people get away with it day in and day out. What can be done in a country where everyone thinks its their right to steal from the government accounts.
