The Parable of the 3 Crooks

I saw a post on Facebook and quickly loved and the use of idiomatic expressions and fairy tales like embellishments of axiomatic truth in our political arena.I so much love the the author in this context the parable of the three cooks.Is it not strange to be used and the labour of the used taken away to be benefited by the crook who used the crook and that the crook the player who played the crook as used and the fate of the played the used as shown in the failure of his attempt as the frustrated cook or used sound funny on how the user the played the first player as a salesman to build his network influence and deceived the first player suggest the long run strategic thinking of the second player as the real player to fulfill his long term objective of turning the entire political arena or system at his own advantage and others to their perils.Why don't see that they re being used or played or then dumped?

Take a look at write up below and fellow commenters:

The Parable of the 3 Crooks 

One is a player, one is played, the last is used.

The used is a crook. He thought he is a player, he formed alliance with the user and the played.

The played is a crook. He thought he is a player, he joined forces with the player and got played like Ace up his sleeves.

The player is a crook. He knew he stood no chance against the two in an open field. But he also knew that he could play them like a pack of cards. He used one to crash the other's base.

Who is the player/user? 

Who is the played?

Who was used and dumped?

This parable teaches us that there is a distinction between being played and being used. 😂 🤣 😂

Crook, crooker, crookest. 😂 🤣 😂

Fellow commenters in rapid response to the wonderful indirect expression read:Point of correction, APC was formed in 2013 not 2014. It comprised merger of three political parties (ACN, CPC, ANPP and faction members of APGA) You can look it up on the internet.

Please, the date of an event matter especially in politics. Hope you're not annoyed?"

It is very clear that we know the the parable of the three crooks and how became the lion In the jungle"

National Open Grazing Banned

Goodness!I think just like WOLE SOYINKA once commented when his wishes for anotekun was granted and he called new year gift In the same context ban by federal government of open grazing is quite commendable .

In the Sahara reporters a new report reads:

Akpabio Insists ‘Cows Are Not Nigerian Citizens’ As Northern Senators Oppose Move To Ban Open Grazing | Sahara Reporters https://bit.ly/4cbryea

I actually loved this like any rational responses from objective citizenry in the country.Incidentally objective comments on Facebook erupted to my delight like selected options from anonymous sources below:

"Shortage of food in Nigeria happen because herders carry their cow to destroy peoples farm that suppose to feed the nation. Secondly cow business is an individual business not for national interest why should any reasonable person support any business that will destroy other peoples business for their own business to thrive. That is wickedness. Thirdly banning open grazing will lead to lasting peace among herders and farmers. Any person going against banning of open grazing is just been sentimental and not fit to be national representative."

Another says:

"Kindly insist on that and ensure this bill is passed with the same speed at which that of the less needed National Anthem was passed. At this period, the need to ensure sanity is brought into the business of cattle rearing is very important."

I was particularly impressed with this response :

"Absolutely. The Senate President should be commended for his stance. We also hope to see him extend his firm stands on other National issues affecting the welfare of Nigerians.

Indeed, the era of placing cows above humans is gone. Akpabio's disposition is commendable. I was so excited when I saw him shutting down Sen. Aliero, Sen. Goje & a host of other northern senators who were vehemently opposing anti-open grazing. God bless Nigeria 🙏
