There's a general saying in Ibibio that says: " Mkpo abunam akang ifang yak adioƱo idem?".
Before you call your self capacity, Eti-owo, Anomkpo Inam, etc.. ask yourself; is there anything good I have attracted to my house? You can't be making the silly mistake of branding and adorning yourself with all manners of names when your house is not in order.
You navigate your way through poor state of roads in your local government just to go for political rallies and campaigns during the wee hours of the political season and you are not ashamed of the capacity you named or paid someone to name you.
Uyo has become your paradise while the place you hail from has become a a resavoir for political mandates and votes.
Oga boss when would you see the need to attract something good to your LGA?
When would you know that your LGA can look like Shelta Afrique in Uyo?
When would you know the values of your people and the fact that they are your political power house?
You prefer to host your LGA meetings in Uyo because the road to your LGA is inaccessible.
You know that your people are cheap enough for you to feed them with remnants from your table, after all they have not been complaining.
You like the idea of being the King Kong of your LGA and a demi god too.
You are in charge Oga Boss.
The political will of your people revolves around you.
You have the final say in anything politics in your LGA but you can't boost of anything good in this political domain of yours.
Oga Boss, we are tired.
We are tired of seeing Toyota Hilux drive through our community once in four years to beg for votes with peanuts in exchange for it.
We are tired of you giving us audio promises and after you get our mandate, you open your nyash to us.
We are tired of worrying about how we will survive come every rainy season because of bad roads.
We are just tired of your deceits.
2023 is fast approaching and we are sure you have saved some fractions of the wealth you used our mandate to acquired in order to feed us on your way to the throne.
Oga Boss know that some of us will be difficult to buy this time out and some of us would not be bought at all.
If you are reading this Oga Boss or your 5k men to boys are reading it, know that it won't be easy come 2023.
No insult attached.
Reality of life is staring at our face.
