Damage control is the name of the game. The Republicans are scrambling to manage the "Foley debacle" that broke just a few weeks before the November elections and the situation has gone "from bad to worse to bizarre" Foley's attorney dropped the bomb about the ex-congressman's sexuality. HE IS GAY. He was also molested when he was a young boy. I feel bad that he had to go through this at such a young age and shame on those "clergymen" who cannot keep their hands off little boys. Having said that, it is becoming clearer by the day that some people had information about this disgusting and lewd IM between the young man and the ex-congressman and did nothing. The American people deserve to know. In the same token, I hope the Democrats did not sit on this information only to release it a few weeks to elections. That will amount to politicking with the safety and future of our kids and that would be just as disgusting as the despicable act of the congressman.

Enough said on that. Back to the kleptocrats in Nigeria. The poster child for kleptocratic tendencies among the governors in Nigeria is considering resigning his position after much pressure from his constituents and the EFCC. I am a believer. Institutions like the EFCC, if properly staffed will work in Nigeria. Democracy will work in Nigeria. Nigerians are quickly finding out that they possess the power to kick thieving politicians out of office. Our political awareness is becoming better as we continue to grow democratically. Halleluyah. This governor and his "friend" have set his state back to the tune of over 1 billion naira. He needs to go straight from government house to the jail house. Nigerians are tired of politicians stealing public funds and flaunting it before our very eyes. Asking to be voted for should mean the recipient of the votes is totally committed to serving the people that are casting the votes. It should not be the other way round. As a nation, our political maturation was stunted and stymied by the several unnecessary interruptions to the democratic process. The escalating and ongoing feud between the VP and the President is a sad development. For the sake of the unity of Nigeria and to prevent another "Khaki takeover" from "incompetent politicians", these feuding parties should work towards strengthening the democratic institution in Nigeria. Don't get me wrong, if the VP or the President himself, are found wanting, they should face the full extent of the laws of the land.
