Under the watch of a greedy cabal of intellectuals, pastors, priests, imams, and our agbada-clad weevils, our land burns, roasting helpless children, men and women whose crime was to be born in a land of abundance – an abundance of thieves. Soyinka is right. We were sent the wrong people. We asked for statesmen and we were sent executioners...

"I have two sisters that I have not seen in five years, I have smoked Indian hemp like other boys of my age, got beaten by bigger boys, robbed of my money, took my bath in the canal and slept under the bridge..."
When I write, like many patriotic Nigerians, it is to beam some light on some of the darkness in our polity, hoping that those in whom the power to effect changes reside might wake up to their responsibilities. Our society is the way it is because most of us do not ask questions of our leaders...
