Why I Hate Lazy People

Now it’s time I get really nasty, I want to talk about those lazy good for noting idiots. I sure we all know some of them, maybe you are one of them, the type of people who don’t have any real ambition in their lives but like to prove otherwise. I am talking about those drug addicts who go about wasting their parents hard earn money, those street beggars popularly known as almajirai in Nigeria, the yahoo boys who go about destroying the image of our great country and the worst among them the stupid politicians who continue to suck our country dry. Lazy people are the enemies of our progress, the people who will stop us from achieving anything as a nation and even stop us from evolving as a species if allowed to breed. (Let’s exterminate them!!!)
These lazy people are like rotten eggs; leave one rotten egg next to a fresh one and before you know it, the fresh one will become rotten too. Laziness is a disease that needs an urgent cure, a serious one, more serious and deadlier than AIDS. It is fast growing in our society that even those that are not lazy are gradually becoming lazy.
What happened to the days when people had to work hard to earn a decent livelihood? Back in those days, our forefathers have to walk miles carrying cutlasses and hoes to go to the farm and farm what they will bring back home for dinner. What happened to those hard working civil servant who devote their entire lives working for the government and earning a decent livelihood from their salaries. Now we have fat and obese politician who get paid just for sleeping in the national or state assemblies or some executive office. What the hell happened?!
I’ll tell you exactly what happened.
Those fools that parade themselves as politicians and “leaders” are the symbolic demise of our society and root cause of all these laziness. Imagine our “president” who by the way is terminally sick and ill can’t even get a proper health care in the country, with all the resources at our disposal has to frequently go to some other country to get treated, and to make things worse for himself he lied in the name of God claiming he went there for the lesser hajj when he knows his handlers are not good at concealing secrets (I only hope and sincerely pray that he gets cured of whatever his sickness and illness is, Nigerian is more important to me than his health that’s why we need him strong and healthy). Everything is messed up in the country and nobody seems to care.
Coming back to the root cause of all these laziness and its effect, I’ll like to talk about those lunatics, not the drugs dealers of course, am talking about the politicians who steal the resources that are meant to be used for building schools, hospitals, roads and all other basic amenities every reasonable country should have (you can image how backward we are, if at this time we are still crying about the basic needs of the citizens), who instead of discharging their duties as expected of them use it to breed drug addicts and glorified prostitutes in their homes. Am not saying that all those drug addict and glorified prostitutes you find on the streets or in our tertiary universities are children of politician nor am I saying all children of politician are bad, certainly not, the point am trying to make is that most of them are a product of useless families and stolen wealth (there are of course a few exceptions).
Propaganda from these stupid and lazy politicians has infiltrated the media. Yes, I am now talking about you lazy clowns in the media who spend weeks to write a 500-word article that is full of nonsense. By the way what do you even write about? “Yar’adua is sick again”, “EFCC is set to arrest more ex-governors”, “Crises in the senate over 2008 budget” etc…..bullshit! Get off your lazy asses, you ignorant idiots and write something worth reading. I don’t have a fancy English background or a degree in English or journalism and yet I pump out my writings in less than a day.
Moving on to those yahoo boys craps and their laziness, it’s always annoying and frustrating whenever I login to my email hoping to read something good, instead I keep on seeing these poorly written distress letters from either some bank manger or some company director in far away Burkina Faso, Mali (of all places), Ghana or south African about some dead guy who died in a plane crash and left some few million dollars in their banks and no next of keen to claim the funds, (Stupid right?!) Now they want me to help them secure a transfer and all that crap. Am sure most of us have received those kinds of emails. My first question is what sort of a fool falls for these kinds of emails?! Definitely a lazy one, Secondly yahoo boys please cant you do something better than that? I mean if you are that lazy and want to make easy money please email me and I will give you a better Idea. By the way those useless white guys you see on crime and investigation channel or BBC who claim that some Nigeria guy has scammed them are idiots, lazy and greedy! It’s only a lazy and greedy person that falls for these things. Except for the fact that government agencies are not sincere these people should be arrested too for trying to collaborate with criminals to steal a dead man’s money.
Now it’s one thing to be lazy, but to be open and straight about it is totally a different ball game. It’s also another thing to pretend and hide the fact that you are lazy. Almajiri’s or homeless people are lazy and worthless in the society, but at least they’re honest about it (by the way am not talking about the disabled ones; the blind, crippled or the very poor and old, those are suppose o be taken care of by the government, that’s what is done in civilized nations). The only thing I respect about Almajirai is their honesty in showing that they are lazy and hopeless. Every night they spend on the street begging, they are broadcasting to the world how lazy they are. All you sentimental idiots who think I’m inhumane and evil for calling them homeless and lazy should follow them around for 24 hours and see how useless they’ve made themselves and how they negatively affect the economy of the country.
But at least Almajirai get punished for being lazy. Every day they sleep under the bridge or out cold on the streets, they beg for food, and they end up rotting in their own filth. Unfortunately, there is a smarter breed of lazy people who know the rules of life and somehow manage to live the good life through their laziness. Yes politicians and yahoo boys included.
These group of people are those people I’d like to call the “pretenders”, there are like corruption in Nigeria, they are everywhere. The “pretenders” are the lazy people who do just enough to hide their laziness. I know a couple of these guys (I just don’t want to write their name, not that am scared to), they are everywhere particularly in Northern Nigeria. These are people that completely sit down and depend on their hard working relatives. Their mode of operation is simple, they go to their hard working brother, sister, sometimes just a mere blood relation and gossip, telling useless stories and back stabbing others just for a mere chicken change. The most unfortunate thing is that, the hard working ones are the ones encouraging and promoting this kind of laziness by listening to these morons and tipping them for the gossips they brought. Unknown to those that sponsor them by tipping them for the gossips, these pretenders are always on the move, and will not stop until they go to each and every house that they expect to get tipped, while taking and spreading different version and remixing the gossips to suit their masters. Their ambitions almost always evaporate faster than that of a hooker when she gets paid before the sex. The more you pay them, the more gossips you get.
The good news is that no matter how smart a lazy dirt think he or she is, whether the yahoo boys, the drug addicts, the politician, the almajirai (homeless street beggars) or the pretenders, things eventually catch up with them. Sure a pretender like a politician can make lots of money, make a nice living and have a beautiful home with flashy cars, he’ll however never earn my respect or that of real people, except of course those hardworking politician who are few and have my respect.
The path of success for a lazy person will always be rough even though it might seem smooth. You need to be an honest, clean minded and focused to attain real greatness in any society, that’s why only those who are hard working become legends and eventually great. Even though in Nigeria it’s not exactly like that, but at the end of the day, the determined and self motivated people (certainly not always, but most of the time) get ahead of the lazy pretenders. In progressive nations unlike in Nigeria, it’s the go-getters that make up the 1% of the population and control the other 99%.
The question am sure most people would have in their mind is what can we do about these laziness that is retarding our growth and progress? Simple, let’s do the exact opposite of the lazy people. Why did I say that? Because having the drive, patriotism, ambition, goals and the desire to work in order to execute things with 100% effort will allow us to move forward as individuals and as a nation, so that one day we might have the power or money to either make some tough decision like jailing or exterminate this lazy people or flush them out of the country like Fidel Castrol did in Cuba.
If you hate lazy people as much as I do, don’t wait for things to happen or change tomorrow, change them now. Our destiny is in our hands, whatever we decide to do let’s do it now to make things better before these lazy people find a way to shut us up……….. I propose we over throw the government. Who is with me?!
