I couldn't agree with you more Santafara. You make your bed and you lie in it. No sympathy at all here either. Hmmmm I better start knocking down some water tanks then |
Justice must be served as impunity brings more repression and corruption! |

Honestly, i think the story was on BBC or Channel Four. Fake water tanks were used to store money. I saw the piece and they were comapring it to hospitals using knives and cutlasses to do operations because the government had "no money". The shoes of the sergeant at arms had big holes on the sole because there was no money for his uniform yet many lived in heaven by any comparison.
This indifference, is replicated all over Africa and that is why we are "poor". Its a disease that has no cure. Every change in government just incarnates another one. Like the Fulani say: MBURU FOFF KO FORINGE. |
