The federal republic is rife with negative stereotypes about motorpark touts, known as agberos in Lagos State and throughout the southwestern states.
Both NEXT and Daily Trust report the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dimeji Bankole, recently decided to act out some of those stereotypes in Abeokuta.
Come to think of it, agberos have a better reputation than legislators and governors.
And speaking of legislators and governors, elsewhere in the federal republic, the Abia State House of Assembly impeached the state's deputy governor on Monday, even though he had resigned on Saturday. Abia State Governor Theodore Orji is involved in a dogfight with his former godfather, ex-Governor Orji Uzor Kalu, and ex-Deputy Governor Chris Akomas is just collateral damage. Still, the Assembly men (whose access to money is controlled by Governor Orji) were determined to shame Akomas in public with an impeachment. Akomas' resignation did not play into the script, but never mind, the State Assembly can always publicly impeach him anyway.
What baffles me about our politicians is ... they don't seem to be even remotely embarassed by the things they do.
