Changing Nigeria For The Better By Abalaka Philips. by Alhassanu(m): 9:05am On Mar 21, 2015 |
CHANGING NIGERIA FOR THE BETTER! Abalaka Philip Ejima (Mr. Universe) I said "NIGERIA, the giant of Africa!" Somebody said, "that was then". If that be the case, what has happened? Why has our beautiful country with all its glory, gradually turned into an anervated, miserable, dejected and seemingly a doomed nation! What has happened? Why have we used our hands to frustrate the effort of our Heroes past who fought and bled in one accord, not minding the ethno-cultural and religious deferences between them just to uphold the honour of our Great Country! What has happened? Why? The greatest strength of our Great Nation has now become the biggest threat of the Nation. What has happened? Why is everyone putting the blame on the government? Is it really the fault of the government? Could it be that they are truely the cause of all these problems? I dont think so, I think the only corrupt government I have met are those I can give account of and they are : That little child in primary school who is specialized in steeling other pupils' pencils and money kept in the bag... thereby making them cry and getting everyone flogged for crimes they didn't commit. That young boy in high school that inflates the prices of textbooks and other fees just to exploit his parents and end up buying a PSP game or Nintendo64... That girl in college who bribes and sleep around with shameless lecturers to boost her gp so she can contest for the beauty queen of the campus... Those family relatives who you sent money to build you a house, so that when you return back to Nigeria You will have a home of your own, they ended up eating the money and sending you pictures of other people's houses whereas, you dont even have a block not more of a house. That mechanic I paid to fix my car and he ended up using the wrong materials for it.. so I can come back frequently. That police officer who has made himself a tool in the hand of the rich to oppress the poor rather than protecting them. That judge who collects bribe from the rich and keeps delaying justice until the poor runs out of money to pay his attorney thereby been denied justice! That lecturer that has sworn that I wont graduate until I pay my way through! That school head master and proprietor that collect extra on my waec and neco fees to sought supervisors so I can copy freely to past my o'levels and the members of these exam bodies who leaks out exam questions so I could see it before the stipulated date for the exam... That Pastor who have failed to reveal the truth God ask him to reveal for the sake of fear or favour... That Iman that will convey wrong message to my muslim brother so as to get "sadaka" (charity) from him unduely. That man in that office that refuses to give me a job because I am not from his tribe or religion even when am qualified That admission officer that wont admit me into that university because a sanator's child result has been exchange for mine. That young teenager that is not working but using a blackberry Z10 while parents are using nokia c1 That doctor who is specialized in aborting pregnancy for young girls and selling hard drugs to young boys.. leading them to their early grave That landlord who organized thugs to beat and throw me out of his house when I delayed to pay my rent.. That soldier who goes out of his jurisdiction to oppress innocent civilians! That custom officer who get paid to smuggle contraband into the country. That supplier who ran away with my money and failed to send down the goods I demanded! Those set of people who primarily rig election by secretly collecting money on the day of election before voting. That market man or woman that uses a smaller "mudu" to measure gari for me because I dont know the right scale... The list goes on and on.... Believe it or not, everyone is a part of these problems either directly or inversely But..., Dont be the reason why another person will change for the worse.. be the reason why somebody will change for the better. For Nigeria to be a better country, I need to work on the corrupt parts of my life and those around me. If I can successfully fix it and everyone does the same, the glory of this country will be restored in seven folds. CHANGING NIGERIA BEGINS WITH YOU AND I.... LETS MAKE IT WORK FOR THE SAKE OF POSTERITY! IT IS OUR CALL... NIGERIA, good people, great nation! |
