Popular Comedian, I Go Dye, has again written an open letter to President Muhammadu Buhari on the state of the nation.
The Comedian took to his Instagram page, posing questions about
Nigeria after 58 years of independence, asking the government to clear
issues on the returned Abacha loot and budget allocated in three years.
According to him, Nigerians can barely survive daily and have been denied the true values of nationhood.

As a madact Ambassador on make A Difference Against Corruption Today, it
has expanded my passion to speak.It saddens my heart that after 58
years, all sectors of our social and economic lives have been plunged in
failure. Over the years,millions of graduates continue to wade through
trying times,while youths with creative artistry,artisans and our young
women have been denied the true values of nationhood, self esteem has
been destroyed,many weep and sleep on a daily basis without a meal.
“Sir, the funds recovered from looters in the past fews years of your
government is 739 billion Naira, Abacha recovered and returned loot is
322,000,000 dollars equivalent of 112billion naira Totalling 851 billion
naira. why was the Abacha returned loots shared? Who are the
beneficiaries? Why wasn’t the returned and recovered loots used to
finance some of the basic social problems like electricity, repairing
our refineries and creating jobs for our youths, build a world class
hospital that can reduce the travelling expenses of Nigerians travelling
abroad for medical treatment?
“Sir, if our hospitals were well equipped, you won’t be involved in
foreign trips for medical check ups. When you eventual leave office,
which hospital would be standard enough to offer you this services and
to other Nigerians? Who are the looters that returned the said amount ?
How come they are not facing criminal charges or being jailed? How come
politicians alleged with 232 billion naira cases of corruption are
working for your re-election? Is it Only those that are with you, that
are the presumed saints?
“Your Excellency, our budgets for the last 3 years of your government
2016 (6.07 trillion),2017 (7.298trillion, )2018 ( 9.12 trillion) Total
22.488 trillion naira, yet we do not have access to ordinary clean
water,with escalated hunger in the land.
“In 2015, Nigerian was ranked 3rd among the poorest nations index but
today in 2018, Nigeria is now ranked number 1 people living in poverty
in world overtaking India .That is why Nigerians are complaining.”
