Every now and then, in the name of empowerment, Nigerian politicians turn up with big ass geles and agbadas, scissors and ribbons just to give out the most ridiculous amount of ‘vocational equipment’.

Usually, these politicians go on to post pictures of their incredible feat on social and electronic media just so the world can give them a gigantic cookie for effort.

In the usual manner, this recently happened in Oyo state.

I mean, it’s a good thing to encourage the people every now and then, but why is that Mummy’s gele that lit on top one hair dryer?

Does this hair dryer come with a salon for the graduant to actually dry hair in? Abi is she supposed to play with it?

When will Nigerian government bodies create long-lasting programs that will serve Nigerians positively?

Let’s know what you think of this in the comments section.
