Do opposition politicians make unrealistic promises

Do opposition politicians make unrealistic promises during

campaigns that they can’t keep when they get into power?

Or

Do opposition politicians get assimilated into power and it’s

trappings that they forget about the promises they make to

the people, once they get it power?

These are the two questions for which I seek an answer.

Case in point is India, Nigeria, and Ghana.

80% of Indians now say PM Modi is the most corrupt in the

history of India and his policies like higher taxes has

continued to make more Indians poor, contrary to promises

he made during the campaigns.

In Ghana, they are now calling Nannah Addo, “Mr.

Incompetent.” Many have failed to see the promises he

made while campaigning to be president.

We all know about how Tony Chinedu was excited about

Buhari when he came to power and how the Nigerians are

feeling now.

Do we ask too much of our opposition politicians that they

must lie about what they will deliver for us to put them

into power? Or once they taste the sweetness of power,

they forget about the problems of the people they always

eloquently speak about during campaigns?

"You will know." Musyoki answered curtly. It didn't take me long to know who Beast was. The following day, as the 10 o'clock tea was being served, I heard a commotion, with boys leaving their tea and running helter-skelter towards the classrooms.  I was a fresh mono, so I didn't know what was happening. I ran along the pavement, and came upon a mighty man, who appeared to be adjusting his trousers. He yanked his belt and thrust one whip towards me. I had encountered Beast himself. He was tall, imposing, burly and endowed with a thunderous voice that could re...

Political Tumbocrats

*Political Tumbocrats* A political tumbocrat is a person who hangs around elected leaders to satisfy her/his personal greed. Tumbocrats sees a leader as a demigod whom they worship. The r bootlickers and sycophants of the highest order. Their work is to defend leaders and cheat public that something is happening. A tumbocrat has no values or morals. A tumbocrat is not interested with common good but personal good. A tumbocrat has no vision but appetite for being near high table of power  and feeding on crumbs.   Tumbocrats are greatest obstacles to development in our country. They protect the corrupt and shield the bad governance in so far as they get something to fill their tumbos. They are good and articulate in arguments but they lack the moral authority because they don't value truth. Every political leader is surrounded by tumbocrats. They are the noise makers in social media and around leaders defending them. They peddle lies en create propagandas . They confuse the publ...
