"ARE THE 170 MILLION NIGERIANS TRULY BLIND, STUPID AND DUMB?

 I can declare boldly, loudly and clearly that the majority of the 17,500 public elected and appointed officials who are now in charge of Nigeria in 2014 were once paupers and penniless fellows before they went into the public service of Nigeria. It is only in Nigeria that the public office becomes the easiest avenue to accumulate the ill-gotten wealth in the name of democracy, public service and patriotism. These money-hungry public officials of Nigeria that are only 0.001% of the entire population of Nigeria are busy gulping and milking the nation's wealth dry in the name of politics, while 80% of Nigerians are walloping in abject poverty of $1 a day living expenses. Are the 170 million Nigerians truly blind, dumb and stupid for allowing these enormous wealth gap, income inequality and poverty in Nigeria to be the order of the day in all reality?
