Nigeria: From Looting To Sharing The ‘National Cake’

By Matthew Ozah
“Neighbour! How have you been? You seem a bit reserved these days. I hope there is nothing to worry about?”
“Hmm! There is so much to worry about in these perilous times. Even President Muhammadu Buhari is worried about 2019 elections especially with the way APC is metamorphosing. Well, as for me, my pocket is in recession and it is beginning to affect my blood pressure. Indeed, ignorance is a disease. You are here nursing agonizing distress while a scrum is receiving cash handout in your state from the Abacha’s recovered loot.”
*President Buhari 
“What are you talking about? That has got nothing to do with me and I feel let down for confiding in you about my discomfort?”
“Please pardon me jare! But how come you have not heard about the ‘Social Investment Programme,’ Buhari’s pet project to share the recently repatriated 322 million dollars Abacha loot among the poorest and most vulnerable households within 19 states in the country?”
