Napoli, Italy – Padi dem don catch Roberto Fico with serious matter wey fit make person wonder wetin dey happen for di political scene. Dis ex-president of di Camera wey every paddy for town sabi, don dey enjoy wetin we go fit call ‘super discount’ for him boat ormege. E dey pay just 550 euros per year while normal people dey cough out 6,000 to 8,000 euros. Na wah! (E no easy but who no go like free chop?).
As di wahala unfold, na im Minister of Defense, Guido Crosetto, come yarn say Fico dey use military port for Nisida. Dis port usually dey guarded like say dem dey guard gold! Crosetto clear am say, true true, Fico’s boat dey there but e get special permission wey don dey renew since 2018. E no be new news, but e fit make di fine boy develop ‘big man’ status wey fit raise eyebrow for some quarters.
Di koko be say, di name wey dem call Fico like ‘chiagne e fotte’ kind of vibe fit just dey follow am everywhere. Dis na dialect from Naples wey mean say person dey show face like dem dey suffer while dem dey enjoy inside. E don dey try show say e be ‘man of di people’ but this boat matter, e fit no gree am shine for di eyes of di public.
Fico also no put di boat for him asset declaration, although he say na because di size no require am to declare am. E good na wah, but people dey ask if di transparency wey dem dey claim dey real or na just talk for mouth. While everybody dey shout for equality, Fico don dey sail for dibew stew. Ahh! (As dem say, ‘e fit no dey illegal but e no dey ok either’).
Meanwhile, while di matter dey unfold for di streets of Napoli, di people wey dey follow political news dey gather plenty gist on social media, dey even analyze like say dem be prominent analysts! Fico, wey don face dis wahala dey contend with di fact say im image don dey come under scrutiny. Wetin person no fit do for free, e go still fit dey lead di charge for di ‘anti-caste’ movement? (Many padi go just dey laugh from di sidelines).
Morale of di matter be say, who dem regard as di ‘man of di people’ fit just dey enjoy privileges wey normal citizens no fit see. Fico don prove say e still strong for dis political game, but we go just dey watch as di drama plays out. E fit be say dem go bring am down to earth, or e go continue to dey sail smoothly like im small boat? Time go tell o!
