One thing about the elite, they network a lot. Mostly among themselves. They& #39;re constantly on the phone. Talking to themselves. Exchanging visits. Accross political & ethnic lines. Whatever division may be going on among the rest of us, the elite are 1 tribe. United in patronage.
They don& #39;t operate the same 24hrs timetable we use. Perfectly okay for them to show up at each other& #39;s gate by 2am. No emergency. Just in the neighbourhood & thought to pop in. It& #39;s ok. The host is still awake. Probably hosting another tribe member.
I& #39;ve always wondered if the lifestyle comes as a result of membership of the tribe or if you have to imbibe the lifestyle to qualify as a Member. I struggle with communications & keeping in touch. I& #39;m also in bed or at least in my house by 10pm. What gives?
Conversations have ensued as to how this state of play affects women participation in politics & power & space at the table. How many women are able to & #39;gallivant& #39; by 2am visiting people without notice or cause? How many women belong to this & #39;tribe& #39;?
When you understand that the elite are one tribe irrespective of ethnic & political affiliations, you& #39;ll minimise your vitriol towards your fellow hoi polloi. I assure you that they don& #39;t abuse each other when they meet. They are perfectly aligned in their outlook.
They sha count on your continuous tearing each other apart to remain united & above the fray looking at all of you like this. For as long as you are facing each other, you won& #39;t remember them or hold them responsible & accountable. This has been the play for decades.

The Nigerian elite is one tribe. United in patronage & pillaging the economy of the Nation. When the rest of the populace decides to be one tribe too & become united in demanding the best for the country, we& #39;ll be in business. Until then, we stay on each other& #39;s neck over trivia.
Do enjoy your weekend.
