Man On A Pole; Put the Blame on Fashola

If you've seen the movie man on the ledge, yeah that one that have Sam Worthington on it... yeah that movie he climbed a very high building threatening to kill himself and then there was serious negotiation going on to save his life, then you will relate perfectly fine to what I'm about to write now...

Just few days ago a man climbed the top of a high tension pole threatening to kill himself if he wasn't giving 5 million naira..
That was risky you will say but let's take a little chill pill and reflect on some things that really got me thinking...

In such a situation there will be some negotiation which is supposed to bring this man to his senses and make him come down..
Then one will ask again how did he climb to the top of the pole with a bare body and was even standing on the wires... that is a first point of insult to Fashola, former Lagos State governor and current minister of power..
How? You will ask... it is his duty that there should be steady power supply, Ok maybe not steady but at least there should be power supply no matter how faint it may be and if he could climb there and is still alive to make demands then something is really wrong somewhere..

Well let's not cast all blames on fashola at least it wasn't until yesterday our budget of change was signed and they are yet to mobilise the allocation to every ministry and parastatal... it is totally not his fault
Maybe we should blame Ambode for that, or let's just leave the blames and focus on why the negotiation didn't work in the man's favour...

From what I heard, he was attended to by the state fire service and the police who was just trying to be a good citizen... but since the man was insisting on his 5 million naira and they themselves they are not earning five million naira even in a full year they decided to leave the man there... after all no be them send am to climb pole, and even if the money come sef wetin be there cut inside... someone will ask why didn't the government give in to his demands... well when that man climbed that pole our budget is yet to be signed so there was no allocation for suicide yet, Abi from which ministry would they have paid him from..

But the real truth is that nobody wants to die at all... else why would you go and climb electric pole when there is no light and you kukuma know say dem no go bring the light too... remember teebillz, ehn Aunty tiwa husband Shey him too say he wants to kill himself then e announce am on social media first..
If you want to die is it not to write suicide not and unlock your phone then you kill yourself and someone will find your body..

I am sure if that pole man had succeed by now people will be dragging space on poles..
Me I cannot come and go and kee myself on top nepa pole..
