Have you heard? There has been another plane crash on 1st October, 2008 in a country called Nigeria? None of the passengers survived. But I’m sure that you know some of them. Some names were announced, like bitterness, poverty, sickness, ill luck, sudden death, disappointments, sorrow, unrest, evil and all their relatives. Thank god they have all gone with the crash. Celebrate their exit because we will never see or know them anymore. Send this to everyone you love if you believe that god almighty has changed your stories to glory. Happy new month!!! Nigeria is a great country. May God up lift each and every one of us to our high places in Jesus name. Amen

May I suggest that we all start to do something no matter how small. I appreciate the way people feel about the whole situation, but let's be honest no matter how much and how often we complain it cannot change the situation.

Things to consider

Training young children in your area for free
Donating your used clothing, books, shoes etc to local children
Donating raw food stuff to families you know are suffering
Investing money in local traders biz, e.g pepper seller, meat seller etc. I can hear people saying NO WAY, who can I trust. We have to start somewhere
Visiting hospitals and donating baby clothes, paying off a new mother's bill.
Digging a well in our village
Opening a library in our old school
Teaching people to draft a CV and how to conduct themselves at an interview for free.
paying for a child's education that you may not really know but their plight has come to your knowledge
Visit homes where we know that there are disbaled or sick people there just to help them clean, wash clothes etc. Even just visiting and cahtting to them may be all they need.
Donating beds, duvets, story books, body creams( u know that cream you bought that did not suit you and u want to throw away), to shelters for drug addicts. prostitutes, orphaned childern etc
Volunteering to go to the market for a vulnerable adult that lives next to you
Raising money in your office for people who need surgery but cannot afford it.

This christmas is a good one, buy a very nice and useful hamper for that woman that stands in front of your office selling boli or soemone else, it would make their christmas.

So many other things I cannot think of right now. 

Imagine a scenario where  a driver hits someone because the brakes are bad, if we knew about it before hand and could afford to sort it out and did nothing we are as gulty as the driver. I am not saying encouraging people to be irresponsible, but people we know are genuinley trying but can't make ends meet.

How many of us volunteer our time to our churches, mosques etc.Think about it
I hope this makes sense

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NIGERIA @ 48. Let us begin to see/say good things about our dear country "NIGERIA" because we are all created here for different purposes and these can only be achieved if we are all happy to be proud of our great country. God never made mistake to create us inside this country, it wasn't the choice our parents, it's God's Will.Americans are proud saying GOD BLESS AMERICA, we too can start saying now "GOD BLESS NIGERIA", it is word of prophecy. Our leaders are human and their inability can be adjusted by prayers , God will give them wisdom to do the right things. I CAN SEE A WONDERFUL AND GREAT COUNTRY. Please join me everyday to say GOD BLESS NIGERIA. I love Nigeria and being a Nigerian.

Can you for sure stick out your neck and be sincere and bold to say that you have freedom in the makeshift country called nigeria today? Don't you know that the british you named above are still ruling nigeria by proxy using those imbeciles (support with arms) that have been missing road since 1960?

it's nigeria's fault for not thriving towards a path of economic independence.  nigerians had a chance to redeem themselves after 1960 but have blown it for the most path. fact remains,  most nigerians were joyous about independece. the stories of the good ole days under the british are just revisionist history.  this is a day, many nigerians fought and died for(included your igbos). be proud of it

Go to the outside world and see wht freedom is all baout by then then u would know u are in cage ,or prison would be the right word.

nigeria isn't burma, north korea or afghanistan. let's try to be realistic here.  at least your internet isn't censored, nor is a secret police watching your every move.
