Not very much has changed i see

It is quite evident to see that not very much has changed on the African continent since the colonial times and perhaps even before. Things being muddled up and the eventual request for help from the colonial masters....
Recently, Lagos Politician Funsho Williams was found stabbed and strangled at his residence; apparently the victim of a political vendetta seeing as he had aspirations for elective office in the state. I didn't know the man personally and didn't weep for his death; however I did feel for the situation and the eventual "open yarnsh" scenario that is about to play out. I have just read the latest reports on this on the Thisday website and the article filled me with disgust and left me unsettled. Once again, the Nigerian government have attacked the situation in the usual idiotic badly strategised haphazard fashion, peculiar to that part of the world. A series of random arrests, stupid questions that will not lead anywhere, irrelevant political solidarity, silence on the part of the president, ludicrous reports in the Media and (this one takes the akara) the eventual import of detectives from the met! Are you shocked? After all we import everything else we might as well import police men who will solve a crime properly or at least appear to do so...
In the badly written Thisday report, the writers point out how the detectives arrive with pomp and pageantry (specifying that they arrive in white jeeps like that makes a difference, Nigerians and aesthetics!) only to find out that the "victims first son had locked the door and taken the key" !!!!!@@#$$%%%%. What a load of ridiculous bullshit! In this day and age, the scene of a crime, especially one of that magnitude is left to the antics of a possible inheritor who is more concerned with his "investments" and less with uncovering the mystery by the blundering authorities. And then, the "detectives" are asked to return later when the key would have been found only for them to be received first by the family and blah blah blah...the list goes on!
In this situation, not only does the Nigerian government admit it's inadequacies by importing detectives from a police organisation that comes with its own shortcomings (or have they still solved the Steven Lawrence case, or released the truth of their findings) to help with a mystery that is absolutely beyond it's means, it once again points out our poor position in today’s world order. Can they not see what they are doing? What they have done? Whilst the rest of the world battles more important issues, India and it's booming economy and quest for a place in the sun, China and its ascendancy to world super power, Japan and its place in the UN security council, the US's need to exercise its hegemony, even south Africa's quest to be taken seriously; Nigeria and the most part of Africa remain aeons behind squabbling like thieves after a heist as they loot and plunder completely oblivious of all that goes on around them. They, those in power are quite content to continue with things as they are and have always been; the west all powerful and giving whilst they at least have the crumbs from the table...much more than their people has.
As I said, not very much has changed on the African continent since colonial times...obviously!!
