So Irritated

On the news today, AIT, the Commissioner of Police or somebody said that the lavish lifestyles of celebrities, leads to them being targeted by armed robbers.

That they rent big houses and everybody knows what's inside. Blah blah.

Are you flipping kidding me?!!!?????!!??!?!?!?!!
He didn't even say it like, "they are targets because of their wealth and a b c shall be done to........"....NOPE! He gesticulated about like a slighted child as if its their fault.
-"All you wealthy people, if you just, you know, weren't wealthy, you wouldn't get robbed"

With attitudes like this from those who are meant to be leaders, is it any wonder why there's a 'Brain Drain' in Africa....lets not even pigeonhole it to Nigeria alone.
Maybe we should add 'Prosperity Drain' to the mix.
...People actually sit down and wonder why others leave?

That was such a stupendous statement. So people living their lives is justification for being robbed, and killed sometimes. Nawa oh, the Nigerian mentality is something else.
