BOILED EGGS

We have seen a vast breed of political animals, some wild ,some semi wild and others subtle,soft but lethal!

We have seen many pot bellied barrels in white agbadas bantering away duty hours over cellular,on the nation’s airtime;if its not about another Hocus-Pocus to swindle the electorate, then its about how to plug their lie dispenser-a caricature excuse for a mouth, into the pliable nipples of our green white skinned mother’s exposed breast to suck to drought, our republic milk.

We have hardly seen a flat bellied fellow who fellowshiped with them and remained himself

After brewing lies,they get us drunk with what they have brewed, and many naive ones staggered to the ballot,caught in a dilemma stupor of quasi promises and frustrations of former heartbreaks.

This is how we have thumb printed away our future.
what a tale of ignominy!

We have witnessed the serial unpunished rape of justice on many republic sofas,beds and even mats, and the hoarding of many resources,
The most many of us have done is turn up our noses.
Our civil bus is fueled by these powerful ‘few’ and any passenger who coughs is shown his bus top to deter any future raising of eye brows

Leaders we called them, when in their cocoon,we gave them suck and weaned them upon our republic breasts, but how scarcely slowly, they metamorphosed into power dealers!

They have grown obese on our national broth and often pick their teeth of residue strands of meat, from the excesses of their political spoils,with the destinies of our young bloods.Yes!..that’s their tooth pick!
while their children are safely tucked away in the comfort of over seas ivory towers,book worming to perpetuate the ignominious legacy of their parents …we will not let it happen ever again!..infact,where is my PVC?..

…That’s our only chance!..the PVC..its our only chance!..its the only way we can prevent these eggs from becoming boiled eggs,its the only way to deny them the hot water of power,hot water makes bad eggs become boiled eggs and boiled eggs are too hot to touch.

When there is a vendetta between two ballot elephants, who ends up in the cadre of ‘grass?’..our young bloods!

With juicy speeches and succulent manifestos ,standing on podiums very lofty,with play-to-the-gallery political jingles and an array of belial fellows for ambience,and outstrectched hands drenched in the blood of unpaid pensions,they bellow to the zenith pitch of their adulterous voices in advanced molecular deceit..’my people,I will give you light,support me with your pvc,i will give your children free education. “..ashi.ashi,otu a wu eshi”( ‘they are all lies,there is no truth at all’- in igbo language)..

…they artfully shove these diplomatic lies down our throats and to think they can afford to keep us naive forever!..what sarcastic impetus!..I wonder why thunder still shealths its sword at the site of these republic tumours?

How long shall we stand men in black turn armed beggers at every check point?..yet they say bail is free and that they are our friend.. How?

How could I blame these uniform men?..they secure your lives,are their lives secure?
Their badges have worn out from baking in the sun all day and their ‘honesty’ can’t put food on the table,pay utility and school fees.

You give them toys,you water down their morale,yet you want them to stand up to the armed-to- the-teeth gentle men on the high way..how?..’tan fe ku?'(‘who wants to die?’..in Yoruba language)

Truely we have seen a vast array of political animals,some cockroaches, others scorpions and yet they are all boiled eggs right out of boiling water

How long will we stomach these republic boiled eggs ?..they are brittle just as every man but you can’t touch them because they are hot?
They get into power and soak themselves drunk..too drunk to be brought to book..we voted leaders,we got boiled eggs!!!
