According to Linda Ikeji’s Blog, the Senate Committee on Public Accounts has uncovered troubling discrepancies in NNPC’s audited statements between 2017 and 2023, flagging over ₦200 trillion in unexplained receivables. At Wednesday’s hearing, senators cited legal and audit fees without justification. Reacting online, comedian Basketmouth wrote, “Good thing I’m not God. Thunder goes finish.” For many Nigerians, it proved that we’re too tired to rage.
The
- Senate accused NNPC of submitting contradictory financial documents during its probe.
- Over ₦210 trillion in receivables lacked evidence or breakdown across six years.
- Legal and auditing fees appeared in the reports with no documentation.
- Basketmouth’s reaction went viral, echoing national exhaustion and cynicism.
Too tired to rage, the numbers keep growing, but outrage feels recycled. Every scandal sounds familiar. Basketmouth’s sarcasm wasn’t just humour, it was a sigh. This isn’t a surprise anymore. It’s survival.
When did you first realise you were too tired to rage, even as the numbers got bigger?
