I’m praying for you to continue committing suicide – Rotimi Amaechi mocks ‘docile’ Nigerians
Chibuike Amaechi, former minister of transport has castigated Nigerians for their docility in accepting the misbehaviour of politicians.
He accused Nigerians of preferring suicide to challenging rogue politicians and certificate forgers.
The former Rivers State governor, who spoke as a guest at the 2023 TheNiche Annual Lecture in Lagos, said there was nothing new he could say because all politicians are thieves but tolerated by the people.
“What is new to say? Nigerians don’t react to anything. Has any politician told you he is not a thief? Tell me one politician who says he is not a thief. Tell me one,” he said.

Continuing, Amaechi added: “Which politician told you he went to the university? Which politician told you he served in NYSC? Which politician told you he has a certificate? Nigerians know and still vote for them. So what’s your problem? So, I say why should I speak when there is nothing new?.”
He wondered why Nigerian would prefer to commit suicide instead of confronting their oppressors, adding, however, that he’s praying for more migraine to kill themselves.
“Instead of Nigerians facing their problems, they are committing suicide. I’m praying for you so that you will continue to commit suicide so that one day I’ll wake up and all of you have died. I can now enjoy the benefits of your death by speaking those things.
“Nigerians chose who to believe and not to believe. They chose who to vote and who not to vote. Even if you go to a Nigerian man’s house and kill his mother, the father will continue his life. Nothing bothers you. Nothing. So, why do I waste my time?”

Amaechi noted that Nigerian were at home with what other Afticam countries like Ghana and Kenya have rejected.
“What other people resist in Ghana and Kenya, Nigerians say no worry no be four years, him go go. The man wins the second term by crook or magic, they’ll say no be eight years. No be Goodluck and Buhari don go so? Him go soon go,” the former minister under ex-President Muhammadu Buhari said.
“Another person will come and repeat the same thing. You will be saying that until the day God will come for those of us who are Christians. So I’ve chosen to be like you; say nothing, hear nothing and do nothing.”
