| British Prime Minister David Caneron. |
Just days ago, British Prime Minister David Cameron was the most powerful man in the whole of the United Kingdoms and by extension one of the most influential around the world.
He has enjoyed the razzmatazz that is akin to the office and had all the paraphernalia and perks of office, though the office of the Prime Minister is not as fantastically corrupt with riches and entitlement, if you know what I mean.
But this picture depicts a man and a Nation that is still traditionally conservative and not riddled with the entitlement syndrome as is the case with my beloved country Nigeria.
An outgoing Prime Minister carrying his boxes himself without hangers-on, praise singers and sycophants falling over themselves to show one form of eye service or the other.
Of course many would say, what do you expect, he has lost power and he is no more the Prime Minister. But in fact that is not the case.
If you are a keen follower of British politics, you would agree with me that what you see is what you get. There is no faking it down there! You either have it or you don't.
The same Prime Minister usually carry his bags himself, sometimes rides bicycle to the office, travels with British Airways and not the plethora of private jets as is the case with my dear country Nigeria. Let me put it succinctly in local parlance, they no dey carry power or office for head!
That is why I enjoy and reports extensively on British and American politics. I am just too fascinated about their style of governance.
Good afternoon.
