The Hushpuppi In All Of Us- Part 2

By Kennedy Onyenma

For the benefit of the hindsight, Hushpuppi is accused of fraudulently dispossessing people of their cash and material possessions. Hushpuppi is also flamboyant and a cheerful giver. He was admired by so many just as he mentored many. His charity dispositions knew no bounds whilst he dined with the high and mighty.

Hushpuppi loves life and his personality exudes contentment and confidence! He is cerebral in his art and familiar with his audience.He embellishes his world with the exotic in cars and houses!

Like Hushpuppi like some Politicians?
He offered to lead his people if only he is voted into power. He claimed he is,God sent to deliver the poor masses from the shackles of poverty. He prides himself as a fulfilled man who is in politics to serve selflessly. But for the love of his people, he has no business seeking for political position after all he has enough wealth that his generation, to the power of 10, cannot finish. He has earmarked billions of naira for the election project and he would not touch their peanut of a salary if elected! He has promised heaven and earth added together, but beneath his promise is the one most certain,the hell! He would be voted for after all. But shortly after his election huge sums of money will be misappropriated. He would end his tenure en-route the gulag where he will henceforth become a victim of political vendetta, witch hunt and judicial rascality. Suddenly he will be infested with all the Egyptian diseases ever recorded in history and may ride on a wheel chair if care is not taken. He will later concede to a plea bargain! He is a Hushpuppi!

Another Hushpuppi in the Universities?
They ask for some cash for grade or some sex for grade on one hand. On the other hand ,the Hushpuppi student offers herself willingly for grade or his cash willingly for some Mark.

The Hushpuppi Spouse.
He promised her heaven on earth just to get her say ” I do” As soon as they are done,he turns her to his punching bag or house help and would so dehumanize her that she will seek for a divorce. The side chic will preferably be the better half! He has just forgotten the marriage creed that says “till death do us part!” Oga ,you are a Hushpuppi!
I also see a madam Hushpuppi in you ma’am… because, you vowed to honor him forever but you rather honor your daddy GO more! You reserve all your honor to your parents who by the way ,are the rulers of your life! You honor him less and have even kept another Bobo who does the real “servicing”!

Mr Voter you are also a Hushpuppi, when you sale your voters card meant to project and protect your right to good leadership just for a paltry proverbial “porridge”. At times you even collect your settlement up front without keeping to the voting agreement. Swear, are you not a Hushpuppi?

Mr Importer,from China,Dubai,Turkey, etc . That label you flaunt, is it the right label for the goods you have packaged? Those expired drugs are they now good for consumption? Who granted you the importation waiver and even devalued your consignment for pecuniary gains? Is he not a Hushpuppi?

Mr Civil servant/ public servant…your service engagement contract reads that you will work from 8 am to 4pm, or as the case may be, from Mondays through Friday.And you affirmed I will! How far?But you are receiving your salary o! You claim overtime you did not merit and even claim travel allowances you never embarked on .Now tell me… are you not a fraudster? Then you are Hushpuppi because you dispossess the State of her resources.

You take bribe to circumvent justice and coerce members to bring offerings and tithes that may after all not get into the church coffers or be used for anything worthy of mention.

Mr hypocrite adviser you claim what you are not. Say what you don’t believe in and do what you can’t say. A Hushpuppi are you!

See Magu, they alleged he ate the yam hung on his neck for safe keep. If the allegations are true… is he not worse than Hushpuppi?
What about Akpabio who Joy alleges she slapped because he wanted to “do” her for the fifth time! She also said they awarded only he 30 contracts and he forced her to swear to an oath. If the allegations are true,it means that the Niger Delta heritage, that he was brought to safeguard,he has devoured! Then ,Hushpuppi better pass am 100%. QED!

Lass lass… you and I may just be another version of Hushpuppi.
