It is no news that Nigeria has gained notoriety for economic and class inequality, worsened with the extravagant lifestyles and unrivaled opulence being exhibited by political and religious leaders, as well as business moguls in everyday life.
This grotesque is further aggravated by regular reading and drama-watching of stolen billions in the media, buying of presidential jets and budgeting of a whopping N37 billion to renovate an already luxurious National Assembly complex; in a country mired in abject poverty.
They remind us of Nigeria’s first billionaire, Candido Da Rocha, who always sent his dirty clothes for laundry in Britain. Do we think, that someday, those categorized as the ‘extremely poor’ Nigerians who are watching all these ‘things’ will not resent?
