Let me begin by stating for the record that this particular write-up is all a huge joke. It should not be taken seriously!!!
Seriously, if anyone takes Nigerian public officials too seriously, such a person may end up with high blood pressure or with depression!!!
Imagine that a Nigerian public official responded by saying that the $100,000 which President Tinubu gifted to each of the eleven (11) female footballers that recently won the African Women Football Competition (AFWCON) is nothing in comparison to the ₦150,000,000 prize money for the Big Brother Nigeria (BBN) reality show.
This comparison has an unwitting coincidence!!!
Both ₦150,000,000 BBN prize money and the $100,000 AWFCON prize money are expended on non-essential national priority items such as agriculture or the provision of national security for Nigerians.
Both the ₦150,000,000 BBN prize money and the $100,000 AWFCON prize money are expended on frolicking and tryst-related activities.
There is a popular saying that the way to any man’s heart is good food!!!
Conversely, there is also a popular saying that the way to any woman’s heart is to load her wallet (or bank account) with loads of cash!!!
PBAT seems to understand this aspect of human (woman) nature.
It is as if Ekwensu (the god of war in Igbo mythology) is trying to woo, romance eleven (11) female footballers or MAMMY-WATERS!!!
And just like any romance-besotted man, no amount of money is too much to woo the eleven (11) female footballers or MAMMY-WATERS!!!
Even if PBAT has to return again to the National Assembly to seek permission for another set of foreign loans!!!

Seriously, if you take Nigerian public officials too seriously, you might just end up with either high blood pressure or a prescription for antidepressants!
