WHY DO YOU DESPISE US (A True Story of African Politicians and The People)

We elected you into office,
We stood in the scourging sun and rain to vote for you,
With our vote you were able to win your office,
You promise us greater future but now you despise us,
You step into your office and don’t even care about our plight,

When we were in queue in Banks, Offices, waiting there for hours, you entered and were given preferential treatment, went straight into the manager’s office to transact your business without stress.

When we apply for jobs we went for the interview waited for the interviewer and make sure we try our best to pass the interview, but all you could do was to give a phone call to the interviewer that you have a candidate for the position.

When you make decision in the chambers, you conceded on things that are favorable to you, forgetting the needs of the people that elected you.

Your sitting allowance alone can change our life for a long time,
You sit in your air conditioned and bullet proof cars with so many comfort and convoy while we walk on our feet’s hoping and praying for a cup of garry to drink.

Even when you travel on our bad roads, we still give you way to pass if not your security and bodyguard will beat the hell out of us.

You send your children to the best schools in the world while you left our dilapidated schools here without good structures and infrastructure because to you it not worth it to spend money on school for the poor masses.

Strike has become a normal thing in our institutions because you have failed to meet and adhere to the needs of our lecturers knowing too well federal universities is our only hope to education.

We elected you to be our representative in the chamber, but hardly do we see you among us in our gathering.
You are carried away with enriching yourself and your generation with comfort and wealth forgetting the facts that we elected you to serve not to be served.

But REMEMBER , your promise before we elected you into that office,
REMEMBER how you campaign that you are going to give us CHANGE that will TRANSFORM our lives for the better.
Remember, we elected you to serve not to be served

Remember when the going become tough, we can revolt against you to take what is ours.
Never forget that the MASSES in UNITY is greater than Politicians in Power.
