They have created incompetence,
And turned around to mock their creation,
Rather their weep for their useless contraption,
They continue in their perverse indolence;

Look at what has become of this ex imperial colony,
Daily I see the contrivance of neo elite monsters,
Destroying the whole to empower shameless critters,
With evil relish, they gobble up our common patrimony;

Barely working, all in disarray,
The rich fly away to comfort,
Leaving the poor in pain and distraught,
Only to pray ceaselessly, for a better next day.
I came across this video of a kangaroo open interview for would-be teachers in Cross River State Nigeria in which applicants where mocked by a panel of nitwits that ordinarily should be shoe shiners at a bus park. For reasons the clowns found amusing, they laughed at the inability of a graduate of a Nigeria University that could not articulate a sentence on a whiteboard. Rather than weep for  the broken system that produced the otherwise unfortunate fellow, they proceeded to jeer and taunt the applicant.

This is what Nigeria has become, a bad oven that produces poor pastries then turns around to blame the product for being half baked. SAD.
