Short & Sharp: A fool & his pension money (2)

Why such pessimism?

 As our people say, a person killed by a train must be deaf. If you can’t see, surely you must hear what our governors have habitually done—or rather failed to do—with the huge sums allocated to them monthly from the Federation Account, plus Security Vote, plus Derivation Funds (where applicable), plus Excess Crude Account, plus Internally Generated Revenue.

In virtually every state, education is in shambles, hospitals are “mere consulting clinics,” roads are death-traps, there is no electricity, no clean water to drink or cook, no skills, no jobs.

These are services and projects supposed to be funded from each state’s monthly allocations, plus the huge sums regularly borrowed by these state governors from banks at home and abroad—precisely in the name of funding these projects and services. But year after year these projects and services are not funded. Even the Security Vote provides no security.
