It is surprising to hear that in Bayelsa state (Nigeria), the state government have not been able to pay salaries of workers for about six months in a row. These are workers with families and their children are in various schools across the country (Nigeria). This is the most punishment any government can give to her own people, after working for months no salary is paid. Now the sad aspect of it is that the state government and the state lawmakers who are working together like brothers and sisters have recently approved for themselves a total of 3 billion Naira for the purchase of cars while workers in the state (Bayelsa state) have not been paid for about six months. They said there is no money to pay workers for now but those lawmakers in the state collect their salaries regularly without any problem. This is total wickedness and a crime against humanity. Why not the lawmakers in the state make sacrifice by avoid buying those cars for themselves and pay workers their salaries which they owe them for over six months so that when things get better, they can purchase their vehicles. Again before they became state lawmakers, they had good cars that can take them to work. Why not use that instead of spending 3 billion Naira to purchase cars alone while workers salaries have not been paid? The lawmakers should have done that if they are truly patriotic citizens. However we (Viewers Corner News team) are appealing to Nigerian voters to be mindful of who they cast their votes for because most of these Nigerian politicians are very wicked and do not care about the welfare of the people they are leading. Once they are elected into office, what goes into their minds is how to enrich themselves forgetting that the ordinary Nigerians made it possible for them to get to that position. Therefore Nigerians should please be wise now and mind who you vote for during elections because who you elect to lead the state would determine how successful the state and her people would fare. If you elect heartless leader or leaders who do not care about the ordinary people, then the suffering will continue in the state just like we have seen in Bayelsa state at the moment where salaries of workers have not been paid for about six months but those in power have already approved a total of 3 billion Naira to purchase vehicles for themselves thereby leaving the ordinary people of the state to suffer. However we leave you all to your faith as we pray and hoping that God Almighty would bring someone someday who shall work for the betterment of all the people of Bayelsa state.
