THE CURIOUS CASE OF NIGERIAN POLITICIANS (PART 1)



One of the many idiosyncrasies of Nigerian politicians is defecting from one political party to the other especially when elections are around the corner. A typical Nigerian politician is a power-hungry hoaxer who has been a member of all the political parties in the country. He is a corruption-enthusiast with a flawed mindset and an ungodly ambition to line his pockets with the nation's treasury. Therefore, he will do anything and everything he can, to become your Local Government Chairman, Senator, Governor or President. He doesn't give a hoot about the surge in the rate of youth unemployment, the epileptic power supply, the lack of good housing facilities or bad educational sector. All he cares about is- how to accede to power and pillage public coffers. Unfortunately, this is the prevailing mentality within the country's political terrain.
