  • THE Obi of Onitsha, Nnaemeka Achebe, has pointedly employed the milking-the-cow-to-death metaphor to warn political leaders against the monumental corruption eviscerating the country's monolithic economy and short-changing the people.

The article "Milking Nigeria to death" from PunchNG discusses the severe economic and social issues plaguing Nigeria, attributing much of the country's woes to corruption, mismanagement, and a lack of accountability among its leaders. It highlights how Nigeria, despite being rich in resources like oil, suffers from widespread poverty, inadequate infrastructure, and poor public services. The piece criticizes the political elite for their opulence and detachment from the common citizen's struggles, pointing out instances where public funds are embezzled or misused, leading to a stark inequality and underdevelopment. The article calls for a systemic change, urging for transparency, better governance, and a shift in leadership mindset to prioritize national development over personal gain. It also reflects on the disillusionment of the populace with the government, which has led to a general sense of despair and a call for a new direction in Nigerian politics.
