The claim by the Nigerian Minister for Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed
that the Nigerian Government spends N3.5 million per month to feed the
detained leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) also known as
Shiites has continued to generate reactions among Nigerians.
For
some people, being a prisoner in the custody of the Nigerian Federal
Government might be the new cool because free people were till
struggling to be paid only N30,000 per month contrary to N3.5m used to
feed a prisoner who has been granted his freedom three times by the
court.
Consequently, this young man wrote a passionate letter of
application to President Buhari applying for the seemingly juicy
position of Prisoner of the Federal Republic.

Sir,
APPLICATION FOR THE EXALTED POSITION OF A PRISONER
With
reference to your amazing revelation that El-Zak Zaky is fed with
3.5million naira monthly and the other equally amazing revelation by the
Minister of Interior, General Danbazau, that 14k is used to feed one
prisoner a day, I wish to apply most honourably for the position of a
prisoner in any of the prisons where this 14k is used to feed the
inmates.
I am a harmless person and ordinarily I have no
business with the prisoners and would never have any reason to sleep
there, but with the “good” life the prisoners are enjoying under this
regime, and considering that the daily feeding per prisoner costs only
4k less than the national monthly minimum wage, I have decided to submit
myself for consideration to enable me enjoy with the inmates.
I
am sure you will soon see more applications than you can handle after
giving my application a favourable consideration. You may wish to be
sending 10k of my own portion of 14k daily to my GTB Account of
0021732123 and use the balance of 4k to feed me. I always love to use JW
wine when I eat. Please I am not comfortable with anything other than
Bottled water.
I have studied up to first degree and am currently enrolled for an MSc programme. Find attached copy of my curriculum vitae.
I look forward to your invitation for interview.
Yours faithfully,
Emmanuel J.Z.
