Who are the TREASURY LOOTERS?

In Nigeria, when we mention the damned phrase "TREASURY LOOTER", the clique of people that immediately spring to mind are the political office holders such as the President and his Vice; the Governors and their deputies.

Ekiti people have decided and history has also been made.  Ex-governor Ayodele Fayose, has won the gubernatorial  election to the Government House. If it is truly what they want, then they have it and deserve it.

The whole civilised world is laughing at us (Nigerians)

If anybody thinks we are practicing what are meant by POLITICS and DEMOCRACY in Nigeria, such people need their heads examined
.
Politics (from Greek: πολιτικός politikos, meaning "of, for, or relating to citizens") is the practice and theory of influencing other people on a civic or individual level. More narrowly, it refers to achieving and exercising positions of governance — organized control over a human community, particularly a state.A political system is a framework which defines acceptable political methods within a given society. (For more, see Wikipedia)
And of course, we know what the definition of Democracy is; but is that what obtains in Nigeria? Not even 1% of its requirements.
"We are never deceived; we deceive ourselves", said Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
When we are finished deceiving ourselves, let me know. (I might be dead by then, anyway)

Ex-Governors' Obnoxious Pensions : Gov Akpabio rescinds law.

Thank you, Mr Akpabio. At least you listen to public opinion. We are waiting for Tinubu (and/or the current Lagos Govt), Odili (and/or the current Rivers State Govt), Saraki (and/or the current Kwara State Govt), Sani (and/or the current Gombe State Govt), and perhaps some other States that we don't know of, to come out and tell us that they will or have done the good thing like Gov Akpabio.

The Outrageous, Immoral and Abhorrent Pensions of Nigeria's ex-Governors

Paraphrasing the late Malcolm X, Nigerians did not land on Demo-crazy, Demo-crazy landed on Nigerians. 

It is absolutely disgusting and immoral, the type of democracy we say we are practicing. It is unsustainable, it is blood-draining, and most importantly, it is now obvious to every doubter that it is not a government of the people, by the people, for the people; but RATHER, a government by some people, for some people to benefit some people.
