#LightUpYaPockets a story of betrayal

The tortoise once went to the hyena to borrow a pot. He asked for the biggest pot the hyena had and promised to return it two days from that time. The tortoise returned the pot but he also gave the hyena back a smaller pot and told the hyena that his big pot gave birth to the smaller pot while it was at his place. This obviously sounded too good to be true but the hyena accepted the pots. A few days later the tortoise comes back again to borrow a pot, this time the hyena gives him two hoping the pots will probably give birth to twins. Alas the tortoise comes back a few days later looking so dejected and told the hyena that his two pots died a few days before then and he had buried their remains. The hyena was dumbfounded but for him to have believed that pots could deliver other pots left him with no choice but to accept that pots could also die.


Its amazing that our 'youth' accepted the gift of N50,000 for transport within Lagos and N150,000 for others. they inadvertently endorsed the high cost of governance and its impact on our lives. If you could accept that with no remorse then the day you ask your government for light, good roads and other infrastructure and they tell you the cost of governance is so much they cant accommodate all that who are you to say otherwise. Or you challenge your senators for collecting huge sums of money for sitting, you also did that by collecting N50k for transport within Lagos. like seriously N50,000? are u flying a chopper from d island to the mainland?


I hope some of the 'youth' present at the lunch read this.
