Will Politicians Go to Heaven? | The Answer Better Be NO

A hilarious joke I once read in a newspaper when I was in High School exposes the barometer with which people measure politicians. The joke says a farmer was going about his normal duties when he suddenly heard a loud bang.

He ran to find out what the noise was all about. Only to be met with a bizarre spectacle, a mini bus has somersaulted and its occupants numbering about fifteen were lying lifeless on the ground. He was soon to learn that the men were politicians.

Days after, the mayor and some cops visited the farmer to interrogate him. He gave a vivid account of what happened and even showed them the graves where he buried the men. The mayor wasn’t enthused and asked the farmer if he was sure all the men were actually dead before he proceeded with the burial. The farmer retorted, “Well some of them said they were alive, but you know politicians and their lies. I did not believe them so I went ahead and buried them all.”

This joke underlines the benchmark of public mentality about politicians. Politicians all over have attained notoriety for corruption and various degrees of heinous crime.

In Africa, many consider politics as the shortest and quickest way to make money. One cluster of belief says being a pastor is the most lucrative venture than politics but that will be the topic for another day. Africa is the poorest continent on earth, largely blamable on corruptible practices perpetuated by people put in the helms of affairs.

Stigmatisation is always one of the biggest hindrances to fighting off an epidemic, and since the Ebola hit there has been several incidents lumping people from Africa into one bracket and treating them like they all have Ebola.

The latest incident involves two Senegalese American kids, who got beaten and called names at school just because they were unfortunate to have African ancestry, despite being born in the United States just like the ignorant kids who attacked them.
