I am an angry man. Why should I be happy when a man like Mr. James Ibori who was struggling to make ends meet as a migrant in the UK suddenly become stupendously rich after spending eight years as a state governor and nobody is asking “how come”?.

Why should I be happy when I see petty pick-pockets and mobile phone snatchers being manacled and paraded by the police when Mr. Lucky Igbinedion is allowed the option of a plea bargain after being accused of practically raiding his state’s treasury?

Why should I have a stupid smile on my face when armed with the knowledge that Mr. “Andy” Uba whom Mr. Obasanjo promised the gift of governorship of my home state was charged with smuggling $177,000 into the US by that country’s authorities and was found guilty, yet the Nigerian government claimed that “no law was broken”?

Why won’t I be filled with rage when Mr. Tony Anenih who failed monumentally as Works Minister is now made the Chairman of the Nigerian Ports Authority Board?

Why should I be happy when my fellow citizens in the Niger Delta are living an extremely miserable life in the midst of so much abundance while the politicians are allocating obscene allowances to themselves?

Why are these politicians so callous? Why should I be cheerful when state governors in my country are collecting huge sums as “security votes” while the lives of beautiful citizens are daily being felled by the fire-power of armed robbers?

"Dont worry, there's enough gold, rice and virgins in heaven"
"Be happy cos god dey"
"Tomorrow go better" etc are some of the qoutes your leaders, pastors and imam keep dishing out to you.

However, you do have the right to be happy because of all the things you mentioned, but I wouldnt be surprised if someone comes to tell you that your type of mindset have and is still the bane of underdevelopment in nigeria.

Suffering and smiling.

there u go once again!!

now i think its clear who is destroyin nigeria

hahhaha

asshole-rocks

soyinka

more former police chief looted fund gone missing


NFF $200,000 gone missing

Power fund gone missing

FG FCT properties fund missing

soon yayafufu will be missing

I think a few people seem to be missing the point. He is trying to highlight what he perceives as blatant injustice and corruption. He is not exactly saying he is "not happy".

I would like to set up 21 man inquiry to look into why Mr Wale or Wole Soyinka is unhappy and after the initial 21 man set up another 15 man inquiry to look into the recommendation of the 21 man  inquiry.  My Gosh i already have migrane.

@nuzo
I totally understand you and you have a point. but come to think of it if everything around me makes me unhappy, i tell you i will never be a happy man for a day. There is pain and will forever be pain in this world of ours. It is a choice to be happy. Maybe what makes you happy will be different from the stuffs that makes me happy, but none the less i believe it is stuffs too that makes you happy.

You don't need a crystal ball to see that nigeria is a rogue state when all those senseless monsters called leaders,past and present,are roaming about free with audacity.

You should scrape the white afro hair on your stupid head and after doing so you will be more happy and you will be able to tell us more things that makes u "happy" ?Mr Cultist.

The fact is that we are so backward that even europe in the dark age was more constructive.We don't seem to have system,no fundamental beliefs and objectives as a people and society.It is something to weep for.

Cry blood africans,cry blood.

I was trying to say that in my post. But you know, erm this is nairaland.

another prove that nigeria is a failed state.

Various reactions to a simple post illustrates the diversity of a failed country.
