The truth is coming out.

The Washington post is a fake news media and the author who is suffering from mental slavery will do everything possible to tarnish the image of Nigeria for 12 pieces of silver

andrewegbuna:

what is there to tarnish again in this country?? nothing is working in this country anymore, virtually all sectors of our economy are smeared in corruption, People are dying of hunger people are being killed on a daily basis by terrorist but we have a president who one of his responsibilities is to secure and protect the life and properties of his citizens. This present crop of politicians we have had from the post-military era has all failed us but this present government is the worst

thebosstrevor1:


The article is bias written to tarnish the government

Yeah if every sector of the economy is smeared by corruption , then who are the people working there, is it not Nigerians, who works in the civil services and collecting bribes, isnt it Nigerians

You blame all the politicians for Nigeria's problems, how about Nigerians themselves.

andrewegbuna:

True most Nigerians would do worse if they get chance but this government came into power with the promise of tackling corruption but 6 years down d line, seems corruption in this country has gotten worse, that even d head of an anti-graft agency is been accused of corruption

Zenithpeak:


It is true that Nigerians are democratically ignorant but I have realised that odds are always against the masses in any general election in this country. The reason is that, our political space is deeply polarized, religious and tribal sentiments are our greatest undoing. We are always left with to bad options and whichever ways we go, we are at the receiving end of our thoughtless choices.

Until we are able to change the status quo.... I repeat, we are on a perilous journey of no return.

daddytime:
Of a truth, a lot is indeed wrong with our country, Nigeria, and calls for a re-evaluation and fixing.

From the heading, I was expecting to read from a neutral-person point of view, but that isn't the case here which will naturally leave room for the writer to be accused of not being objective or biased.


What a country.

Until we all go back to the basics, to agree on where we got it all wrong, even though we have an idea from when we got it wrong, we all still need to accept our respective culpabilities, no matter how damning or painful to the ears they might sound, and honestly agree to work towards mending the burnt bridges and rebirthing that much-eroded trust that is presently our bane as a nation/people, we shall continue to run around in circles with the same oppressive and vengeful system still in place because true repentance and forgiveness from all parties involved aren't being talked about.

Everyone is still stubbornly claiming to be politically right.

The present system and constitution upon which Nigeria is being run were deliberately crafted in that manner to be vengeful, spiteful, evil, lopsided, and generally rotten.

To have a glimpse of an idea about what I mean, ask yourself this; why is it that, those who seem and sound sane from the sidelines, and supposedly activists for the masses easily get to lose their voices and instead get swallowed up in the quagmire of everything decrepit within the system the moment they ascend the ladder on to the corridors of power?

The answer is simple, and it is akin to wearing a spotless babaringa or well-tailored suit to climb down sewage and expect not to reek of poo or get blemished. How possible can this be?

I keep telling people that the problem with Nigeria is fundamental, foundational, and structural. And until we begin to sincerely seek a way to address these issues, we'd only be piling up more blocks or floors on a structurally defect sky scrapper and the result will always be an eventual collapse besides the severe and un-healable injuries that'd have been sustained along the way.

If we don't come out, in all honesty, to discuss, seek genuine forgiveness from each other, we won't make any headway even with a million #Endsars protest or youth parties combined.

I've always thought the oldies in power are 100% the problem and as such, a chance for the youths at governance will rectify all the malaise we are presently faced with. But having tried in my little way to birth a youth movement to realize the above and getting stuck along the way, I was forced back to the drawing table to have a rethink, go back in time to history, and find out what the problem truly is.

I soon realized that the problem isn't the people that get into government perse, neither is it their qualification, age, religion, or region, but the system through which they come and upon which they operate is flawed and deliberately so to achieve a set goal.

A set goal which boils down to the history of this country, a history set on "never again", a history set on the perceived or actual betrayal of trust, a history built on " fool me once, you are the fool but fool me twice, then I'm the fool", in short, a history set on, "forgetting and forgiving is a sin".

We all need to know our history to some extent to understand where we are coming from, where we are presently, including how we got here, and ultimately, where we are headed, how we intend to get there, and of all, if we will ever get there.

To understand our history, it would be important to understand where we were as a people pre-independence, post-independence, the 1966 coup, the post-coup events, the counter-coup, the civil war, and the subsequent events that have led us here today.

We need to go back to understanding our respective regions without any bias, prejudices, arrogance, name-calling or seeing our individual regions superior to the other, et al

It is one thing to meet someone as a man or woman, feel a connect, mutual love based on trust and decide to become a couple, it is another thing to see a young girl, and decide to use all your powers including but not limited to religion, popularity, culture, and external backing to hold her to ransom and against her wish for marriage. While the first can be seen as mutual and free-willing, the latter is clearly forced, and will only breed resentment, rancor, hate, and where all these are present, retrogression naturally takes root.

We need to get rid of a system that breeds youths to power and perpetuate them into oldies in power without recourse to their downlines.

How do we go back to our pre-1966 era?
How do we rebuild the trust for one another which our actions and inactions have eroded over time?
How do we rebuild a nation where no part of the union will feel more superior politically, economically, educationally, or otherwise to the other, and rub it in without any remorse?

Always remember that if you feel justified in your myopic and selfish belief that whatever god you worship has blessed you beyond measure and above your neighbor intellectually and educationally, and as such reserve, the right to see that neighbor as a sub-human or second class human, do not be surprised when that neighbor also prays to his god and gets answered when he requests to be blessed with his own gift which could be the gift to be the custodian of "Power" to rule over those who mocks him for his inability to assimilate or learn the ways of the white man as expected by his supposedly more "intelligent" and turenci speaking neighbors who would end up becoming spoke people for the supposedly "backward and unintelligent" neighbors. I hope say somebody dey understand me here... grin

E get reason why no be everybody dey sabi the white man language or way because everybody get him own unique gift from the sharer of gifts. Apart from that, who tell una say dem dey share sense, kindness, humility or how to be a good human being for school, and above all, una know wetin dem dey call native intelligence? Lol

Me wey dey write so na WAEC I get reach oh, I no even know where the certificate dey sef.

Humility and respect for one another should be a good way to start in our quest for restructuring.

God and nature can not be mocked at the same time, and if you are a fellow youth who still believes that the issues of this country Nigeria are solely physical, you had better wake up and smell the coffee.

The spiritual angle to it all dwarfs the physical you can see.

If the truth dey always sweet you for ear, you never hear better truth be that.

The truth dey bitter for the most part and e dey pain person for ear, but if you listen to am come agree say na the truth, come implement or refuse to implement am accordingly, you go dey on your way to freedom and peace of mind.

We have a way to go my people.

I be Nigerian boy from Edo State oh!

Anybody wey ready to do him best to see how we fit take heal together and rescue whatever we can of our country, I dey ready make we work together with genuine sincerity of purpose.

Kccheechy:
Buhari is not our problem. The problem of Nigeria is Nigerians... The average Nigerian man is fantastically corrupt!!!! So many if u was condemning Buhari today will do worse if they find themselves in his position... The average Nigerian man is always looking for a way to cheat his fellow man in business. You can hardly see a honest Nigerian. In fact if as a Nigerian you are honest, you are the dumbest. The average Nigerian man always let's his emotions overide his ability to think logically. Some stupidly refuse to reason at all.. And please, we don't want the LGBTQ in our nation!!!! It's funny how the west depend on science to tell us if the world would be habitable in 100 years or not but when a baby boy is born even with matching hormones and reproductive organs, science becomes optional. No to LGBTQ!!!!

the palliative saga really exposed this administration. it will go down in history as the most corrupt administration ever.

True, but not just buhari alone, but also the Yoruba Muslims and their Fulani almajiri.

But thankfully, we have the great Igbos, the non Muslim Yorubas and the middle belter progressive who are fixing the many failings of buhari. And if we continue working together, we will send buhari and his Fulani terrorists back to futa jalon from whence they came.

To the rest of Ndigbo, please ignore any post that tries to pit us against yoruba people, especially non Muslim Yorubas. True, we aren't friends with the yorubas, but at the same time we ain't enemies, we are just competitors. Yoruba people are learned, civilized and hardworking. Unlike the Abokis, who are uncivilized, uneducated and uncultured. So they are our real enemies and we must make sure we demarket and expose them before the the world.

Henceforth our media battles should only be for the Yoruba Muslims and their almajiri counterparts. Those people should be ostracized from our midst.

Some things never change in Nigeria. Police and military brutality, the terrible state of governance, the ubiquity of corruption, extreme poverty and inequality, unreliable power supply go in an endless cycle, like the year’s seasons.
