We are always in the news for the wrong reasons. Boko Haram
promised a Christmas day present for the FGN or Nigerians. The security forces
went to sleep on this day. And who am I to blame them when their heads are
clinging to power like their life depends on it.
Rather than tackle security issues which is engulfing the
nation, the FGN prefers to remove oil subsidy which we doubt if it exist in the
first place. A lot of their effort is channelled to selling this venture. The
presidency has drawn the battle line against all who oppose the oil subsidy
removal. Not even a revolution can make him change his mind.
The unity and patriotism amongst the people is at a record
low. The populace are not bothered if the nation divides. The ruling class
wants the nation intact because there is still a lot to loot. The opposition
may want it divided because it’s an opportunity for them to mount the throne
and reign supreme. We have entrusted our life and future into the hands of
criminals turned politicians and we expect so much from them.
There is no silver lining to keep our hopes. There is little
or nothing at stake for the common man and I pray the President sees it. I
implore the president to ignore his advisers and listen to the people because
there is a disconnect between the people and the government. He also has the
option of ignoring the people and going ahead with his stubborn stance. For the
nation to remain one and for the peoples hope to be rekindle, the government
has a lot of listening to do…so that we may remain one while you all are in
governance

ReplyDeletethe question has always been 'who bells the cat'. The greeks, the egyptians and syrians didnt suffer as much as we do now yet they stood up for themselves. Even the so called biafran war was a mistake on the part of the easterners. Our anger is always directed @ a man who suffers d same fate as we do. Let us continue wit our suffering and shmiling
