That was my laugh pattern when I got the news that
"Federal Government gets $2.3bn US assistance to fight poverty. Classical
bullshit. *smh*
You are giving monetary support to a country who is
capable of feeding its citizens for a whole year without them working and the
treasury will still be smiling. Only that the country is unfortunate to have
been ill-fated in the hands of faithful marauders.
US, know this, the money a corrupt governor of a
state in Nigeria embezzles every month is more than that stipend you are proud
of. Don't be surprised if you find out we know it's a decision of the American
big brothers to explore our lands in future like your British supposed
sacrificial lambs.
Have You Seen Soul's Voyage?
If you want to assist us, give us technical know how
as a support to the wealth of our natural resources, and stop over using the
demerits of your Modernization policies.
Wait! What's your definition of poverty? Oh! You are
looking at the Northern part of Nigeria to judge us? I'm sorry if that
comprises your definition of it. Well, I would say you are the one suffering
from the mother of poverty called GREED. The day you stop unnecessary meddling
in the issues of countries in order to explore their wealth's and be contented
with what you have, then you would be called rich.
Don't forget, one of your famous song writers (Dolly
Patton) once said "one is only poor only if they choose to be". We
don't accept we are poor, we are only unfortunate not to have technical know
how so, if you want to help, look into the right direction, meanwhile we would
prefer China.
Learn from the Chinese advice that "Go to the
people; live among them, learn from them, love them; serve them, plan with
them; start with what they know, and build on what they have".
Finally, a note to Mr President, if they now decide
to go the ways of the Chinese, be on the lookout, they might want to deceive us
like the days in yore, to start exploring or neocolonize us. Remember to make
them subjects under Nigerian supervisors during their stay on motherland.
Let no black man receive orders like Solomon
Northrup in his 12 years, let there be mutual relationship ordered by humanity
and let Nigerians be ready to be independent mentally.
