THINGS HAVEN’T REALLY
CHANGED
Last week, the Federal Government
decked 100 “great”, “patriotic” Nigerians with medals to celebrate the
Centenary of Nigeria’s amalgamation. As the rest of us who live among them
know, many of the recipients are career crooks, villains, looters of the national
treasury, murderers, thieves, and you name it!
Here’s a 2008 cartoon made
shortly after many of the so-called “patriots” on the centenary list were
awarded National honours. Every year names of new converts make the list,
swelling membership of the club. They are such incurable suckers for awards
that an industry manufacturing awards (equally manned by villainous characters)
has been built around them. I can only imagine the centenary list was expanded
to accommodate converts like the two gentlemen in the cartoon.
Things haven’t really
changed. As a matter of fact, things are getting worse!
