THEM VERSUS US! by Jane Akwani

We are the fools trolling cyberspace, using our meagre near inexistent funds to buy data so we can lie or wail dependent on our leanings. We are the humanoids typing frenziedly away on our device of choice, making enemies of friends and friends of enemies. We are the imbecilic lot creating fan pages for rogues who at best should be confined to the dustbin of history since our prisons are beneath them. It doesn’t matter what we say. We are IDIOTS one and all…yours truly included.

Who are they?

They are that elusive band that have gotten on the gravy train willing to sacrifice family, friend and foe to ensure they don’t fall off or get pushed/kicked out. They are thieves no matter their tool or party of trade. There’s honour among thieves and so it doesn’t matter whether I steal with the pen, gun or machete…we are all thieves. It doesn’t matter if I sign cheques or cheques sign me…we are all thieves. It doesn’t matter if I’m PDP or APC…we are thieves and must maintain our honour. It’s us versus them the madding crowd of sychophantic zealots who for a helping of porridge or not shout themselves hoarse supporting us.

Corruption is just a nice sounding word. Let’s use it to further hoodwink the already stupified masses…do they know any better?

You see self-preservation is the first law of life. It doesn’t matter who Buhari presents…we can’t screen them too harshly. We are tenaciously barring our closet doors. We dare not shake theirs too hard lest we lose grip and our own skeletons tumble out.

Take a bow, smile at me, shake my hand and go. But remember a favour done is a debt owed. When next it’s my turn on the merry go round be sure to ask me to take my own bow. What is good for the goose is certainly just as good for the gander.
