“The first task is to learn how to be a professional liar. The second is to learn how to dish out threats to your opponents on social media. The third is to learn how to manipulate the Nigerian judiciary to give you unjust justice”
There is absolutely nothing attractive about being a career politician, especially in Nigeria. If you want to be a successful Nigerian politician, you have to learn from the man, Eze Nyesom Wike, The FCT Minister and former governor of Rivers State.
The first task is to learn how to be a professional liar. The second is to learn how to dish out threats to your opponents on social media. The third is to learn how to manipulate the Nigerian judiciary to give you unjust justice whenever you need it. The fourth is to learn how to talk with a cracked voice that cracks the internet. It is hard work learning all these things. Another major skill is to learn how to flaunt toxic masculinity in the Senate like Akpab!o. Most importantly, one has to learn how to make common sense appear uncommon. There are so many other things to learn, but the above are basic and non-negotiable survival principles.
Wike is a typical definition of the saying that “too much of everything is bad.” His politics has just become ‘too much.’ Lately, it has become an increasingly toxic indulgence to watch his vindictive expressions and listen to his cracked voice on social media.
No politician has ever unleashed more hateful and vindictive threats towards an opponent than Wike has towards the governor he installed in Rivers State through massive rigging.
This situation perfectly exemplifies the saying, “What goes around comes around.” By imposing your thug on the people of Rivers State, you hoped for peace, but now your life is in pieces. You now curse and threaten him on social media because he refuses to grant you unrestricted access to the state’s coffers. Eze Nyesom Wike serves a typical example of how to become a Nigerian politician
