Yes. I said that.
One way or the other, every living breathing soul on earth has corruption in their bloodstream. From the regular mother of the house to the priest of a cathedral to the 12 year old boy who is curious about adulthood to the regular politician. One way or the other, knowimgly or unknowingly, corruption is everywhere in our behaviour.
But high scale corruption is different.
Only people without a soul involve themselves in high scale corruption.
And the politicians are best at it.
Billions of dollars meant for the welfare of millions of people are signed out constantly. Not that they are not signed, they are. The money for the welfare is there and signed, but the millions of people remain stranded. MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. They get stranded because only one person gets to gobble up all the billions.
Money is being gobbled up on a daily basis. Gobble. Gobbled. Gobbled.
Gobbling used to be a local issue because nobody cared to check these politicians' local account, it was a military era, so gobbling was virtually legal . That was why anyone could gobble up as much public funds as they wanted and stash them in any Nigerian bank. Things were much more easier for gobblers. Not now. Not anymore. Everybody has their noses to the ground now.
EFCC, ICPC, CCB... You name it. They are everywhere looking for who to devour. So our gobblers descided that it was enough stashing for our country which has become a hotspot of hounds searching for gobblers. They started deporting their stash.
Switzerland, UAE, Austria... now Panama?
Panama is clearly a country with people who dont care of their country's identity. Now the list is out. Now we know how our gobblers stash their cash, and where they do it... Panama.
EFCC and friends have gone to see which Nigerian leaders or fomer leaders have a share in the Panama Pie. Pity it is that some names have already showed up and its everywhere. Twitter is trending it, facebook is sharing it, bloggers are blogging it. It is just everywhere.
Lets ask ourselves this question. Is it really worth it? Stealing all this money just to enrich yourself and your generation. How will that generation even feel knowing they are enjoying gobbled stash. How will the masses feel knowing that money meant for a million generations is being enjoyed by one generation.
Life is not all about money. Really, if your comfort brings about the discomfort of many, there is a big problem somewhere. You just cant feel good taking money meant to help the needy.
High Scale Corruption. No. Not anymore.
