Veteran comedian and Ali Baba has a message for politicians as the February 19 elections draws nearer. The comic act says failed politicians are using Lagos as their retirement plan.
Ali Baba also says people should be wary of such politicians.
There are also easy recruits by any opposition. Especially those licking their wounds from a failed electioneering process. Those who are collateral damage, are also very bitter. Especially if they had been pushed out of government, without a back up plan. They attack those in government and anyone who supports them. Be wary of them. They are always very bitter. Very often, and the cases abound everywhere, those who have been thrown put of government always find it hard to settle back in, especially when they have burnt all bridges. They sometimes have ignored those they used to know, have lost all business ties, stepped on toes, drawn battle lines that have raised walls… and now the chicken has come to roost. You can see them also driving themselves in Lagos. The SSAs, SAs and Assistants are all gone. The truth is now reality. They are facing the music all alone. One called me from the blues. He is trying to set up a 20 room boutique hotel and needs me to help him push. I forwarded my last text to him from 2014, that has still not been replied. He didn’t see it. That is ok. But 2014 to 2019 is a long time to not be in touch. Anyway, I billed him N2m, to create the marketing dynamics, brand activation and the complete exclusivity package… he hasn’t responded since, Monday.
