David Mark maps out plans to retain Senate Presidency - My reaction.

News reaching us lately is that the incumbent senate president Senator D. Mark is putting finishing touches on a master plan to retain his sit as the number one man in the upper chamber despite the depletion in the number of PDP senators in the house and the relegation of his party, the PDP to the status of the minority opposition. And for this purpose according to the source, the senate president has prepared a war chest of a whooping 10 billion naira.

I am more concerned with the consequences of the acts behind the intention on the well being of the nation.  10 billion naira just to become the senate president?
You know, before I thought of writing this piece, I was in a dilemma about whether to talk or just hold my peace, do the sign of the cross, take a deep breath and say "Baba God na your hand we dey". But e get how the thing take hold me for throat, so I just have to cough.
Are these people alright? 10 billion naira is 10,000 million naira. Ok relax and let's use our imagination here. I will like us to imagine just how many hospitals that money can build in your village and my village to take government closer to the people and better the lot of those rural dwellers where these same politicians carry old the bulk of their electoral manipulations. Then imagine how many automated boreholes that that money will build for the people of Kango in Kuje that comes to my farm to fetch drinking water from a well which I can't even use the water in it to wash my clothe. That money will build some kilometers of road that will give some respite to road users, and equally save some lives. Yet someone brought out that money for a gamble to retain a sit. 10 billion naira will empower 10,000 graduates with one million naira each to start up a small enterprise and ease the burden off the labour market. Where else does he (D. Mark) intend to get back the money or will I say capital investment injected into this political project? If not from the national moimoi. Now imagine if a man is able to dole out such amount of money for a project he is not very sure will pull through, one can only but imagine the amount of money owned by such a man. 10 billion naira is enough money to settle the salary budget of some states.
You know I think this men really need to have their head checked. Cos the level of stealing and corruption in this country has gone past the human rhelm. Its has gone spiritual. Its unthinkable. Its outrageous. I was reading in the news the other day where it was stated that President GEJ have been prevailing on some government official to "refund" monies given them concerning the just concluded Presidential and gubernatorial elections in which he lost. I gathered that ministers were given some 20 billion naira each. Another war chest to deliver their jurisdiction to the president. Wait first. 20 billion naira each. Only God knows how many ministers, senators and governors got that money. Five of them will amount to 100 billion naira. That is, 100,000 million naira. With that money,one hundred thousand young entrepreneurs given 1 million naira each will establish a good fish farm and that will be 100,000 less unemployed youths. The money large enough to free 100,000 people and consequently their families from poverty lies in the coffers of just 5 people and they haven't ran mad yet. I meant, they haven't pulled their clothes and ran into the market yet, cos this is madness.
Our leaders has been made mindless by their enslavement to the god and worship of money. Their brain has been blocked with the jaundice of senseless greed and selflessness, that they now act so irrationally insane in the embezzlement of public funds. How can you sit on money due to 10,000 people. You no dey fear something? When there are many civil servants that will never touch one million naira at a go till they die. Yet one man sat on 20 billion and he is not Bill Gate. Only God can save us in this country oh! In fact, me I can't wait for Buhari to come on board and do that abracadabra that will salvage this nation to be sincere.  The kind of money these men clean their anus with has made me loose value for money walahi.
