DEMO-SENSE WITH IDRIS ISMAIL: TOO EARLY TO COMPLAIN

 

TOO EARLY TO COMPLAIN

(A satire by Idris Ismail)

It is not too early for humongous monthly allocations in the past six months  but too early to ask for the result and impact on the citizens. .

 

It is not to early to allot 160m for vehicles but it is too early for citizens to cry out for the insensitive expenses.

 

It is not too early to buy a not immediately important yacht, but it is too early for workers to ask for increase wages.

 

It is not too early to withdraw subsidy from the fuel but it is too early for citizens to demand that the monetary gain be reflect in their welfare.

 

It is not too early to share humongous monthly allocations among the three tiers of government but it is too early to ask that education subsidy should be retained with the gain of removal of fuel subsidy.

 

It is not too early to make frivolous spending at the federal and state level of government in the last six months but it is too early for citizens to complain of opulence and extravagant life style of the leadership in the face of scary poverty in the land

 

It is not too early for  steady and steadily increased   allocation to Local Government but too early to complain that the grassroot development is comatose

 

It is not too early to exercise executive presidential power in a presidential system of government but it is too early to complain of the immediate effects
