Operation “Throw My Shoe” At Any Looter That Comes Abroad To Launder Our Funds PDF Print E-mail
By Emmanuel Franklyne Ogbunwezeh

Operation “Throw my Shoe” at any Nigerian Politician, Public Servant and treasury Looter that Comes to Europe or America to Launder our Funds or his image Fellow Nigerians, 

We have decided to organize! 

This is a movement of an oppressed people! We have decided to go medieval on the looters of our treasury and destroyers of our common weal. 

With my membership of this movement, I pledge to donate one or more old and decrepit shoes of mine or “takalami” to the face of any Nigerian Public official, who comes to any country in Europe or America, where I reside to launder our funds, hide his loot or launder his image. 

This is in vehement protest to what they have done to my country. 

I pledge not only to donate one OLD shoe, but to throw it as a missile, myself on the face of the looter whenever he surfaces in my neck of the woods. 

I pledge to organize and get other Nigerians in my surroundings to join this campaign. 

I pledge not to throw eggs except VERY ROTTEN ones, as a mark of respect to the millions of Nigerians that cannot afford an egg and animal protein in their diet. 

I pledge not to throw tomatoes since many Nigerians cannot even afford this staple in the Nigerian economy of today. 

I pledge not to throw WATER at them, except DIRTY, SMELLY SEWAGE FLUID; in memory of millions of Nigerians who have no access to potable water, and whose bodies are condemned to become playgrounds for guinea worm and other waterborne diseases. 

I will only throw DISCARDED, OLD and WORN OUT shoes in deference to millions of Nigerian kids that cannot afford shoes. 

I pledge to throw all this rotten materials at them, not only to protest but to compel a rethink in these heads that have refused to think for their people. 

Nigerian politicians must be forced to be responsible, if they cannot behave themselves. 

Nigerian Public Officials: Beware! Europe and America are not more hiding places for your loot. 

We will snoop you out. We would meet you at your ports of entrance and departure. And we will embarrass you to a point that you have never been embarrassed in your life before. And we will post your embarrassment on YOUTUBE and other sites to globally publicize your embarrassment. 

If you don’t want this embarrassment, sit down at home and find solutions to the mess you have made of our land. 

Emmanuel Franklyne Ogbunwezeh, Chief Shoe Thrower.

Sir,

When you finish the shoe-throwing exercise and the 'looter' has scuppered off home to Nigeria, do you think it will ever be safe for you/your family/descendants to go back to Nigeria for a visit/stay/return home?

Just askin';)

The belief underlying this kind of question is the reason why Nigerians are in chains. People only think of returning to Nigeria and befriending politicians in the short term without wondering about the long term implications. If we have to live in exile for a short while in order to change Nigeria, is that too big a price to pay for our freedom? Many people have gone into exile for many years only to return triumphant. If you believe that the shoe throwing thing will work and lead to a change in Nigeria, then there would be no need for one to fear returning home. In the quest to change Nigerians, Nigerians must be prepared to live in exile if need be.

Dear Mr. Chief-Shoe-Thrower,
May I use this medium to appeal to you to consider me for the post of Assistant-Shoe-Thrower. I have loads of old shoes under my bed and I have been told in confidence by my detractors that I am one "solid shoe thrower"!A trial would confuse and convince you. I have been striving to hit more targets during training...please, it would be an honour to be a member of ur Brigade of Shoe Throwers. I am so eager to hear from you.
I remain yours sincerely,



Mr. Assistant -Shoe-Thrower .

Good one !
We should actually start a sensitization campaign aimed at acquainting Nigerians everywhere about this campaign of ours.This week,ALL Nigerian governors convened in the Hague in nextdoor Holland to campaign for investors as they claimed.It would have been the best chance to start from there but not to worry.We need to gear up on logistics and planning because they would always come to iron their clothes or charge their smart phones since 9ja has no electricity and they don't give a hoot!

I am of the opinion that pelting them with eggs and tomatoes would be more effective than throwing old and worn out shoes, since the former would surely leave unpleasant and smelly stains on their Hugo Boss suits.

Mr Shoe Thrower,

I am very disappointed at you for suggesting that we should throw shoes at the political elites who have stolen money. The shoes are worth more than just to throw them once or twice at them. We should remove our shoes and beat them with it and keep them again for other thieves. If we decide to throw the shoes at them at a distance, 1. We might miss our target, 2. It might hit them in an area that wont pain them 3.We might run out of shoes because of the high number of criminals and we have to understand that it is not environmentally friendly to waste shoes on these idiots.
