So a bunch of pot-bellied men and women woke up this morning, pretended to 'screen' one nominee; simply clapped for a second one and then closed for the day.
It's obvious they are totally disengaged from the reality of life in Nigeria. Jumbo salaries can do that. Living in Maitama and Asokoro can do that.
No sense of focus. Or urgency. Nothing to suggest they understand how bleak the situation is. How the masses' pockets have dried up and the belts have tightened to the point of asphyxiation.
The country has been at a virtual standstill since January. Almost gave up the ghost in April. Has been managing on life support since May. Yet the creme de la creme are smiling and patting each others backs like they've found the cure for cancer.
I feel like becoming a militant.
Nigeria.
The country where one of the Main policies of an intending Minister of Justice is to give CAR GRANTS to lawyers.
Why do I punish myself like this??? This whole Ministerial Screening from the beginning has been a charade. No new ideas. No ground-breaking policy suggestions. Just regurgitation of old, tired, nauseating talking points; sometimes garnished with nice diction and polished accents.
Please advice me. Should I kill myself or commit suicide?
