Are We Destined To Die In Silence? by BrBakreez(m): 6:12pm On Dec 27, 2015 |
I have not been opportuned to travel across the shores of
Africa but I know some things are not just right in my dear
country Nigeria and many countries in African, Asia and
some American Countries. Poor people are made to pay far
higher for commodities and services bigger than their
values, many of our young unemployed, old and helpless
people do not have any welfare packages from their own
government, poor people live in conditions where the
environment is completely drained and not replenished by
their landlords and government, they cannot complain of
their pathetic situation because many cannot afford our
legal fees since they are cannot even afford to feed their
families, corruption and impunity is deeply entrenched that
education which is suppose to be a leveler is also being
denied in its standard form to the children of the masses.
Yes, I have sat down in classes where many Governors,
Ministers, Senators and their children were taught, I know
many of them are not better off than many poor people I
have met in the ghetto, they are not specially made to be
better than many suffering hands I have shake in the past
but many of these people use the same education we both
acquire to subdue the masses from enjoying what should
not be a privilege. I have seen many sleeping under bridges
because they cannot afford decent accommodation, I have
seen many sleeping at night without food nor sure of where
to find the next meal, I have seen many languish in prison
simply because they are finding means to the daily bread
through legitimate means, I have seen that many young
lawyers also live below poverty lines so that they cannot
challenge the authorities of their principals yet caged in a
situation that they can hardly think of how to better their
own welfare. I have seen so much of injustice that the
government alone would not solve but will require a
collective effort of everyone of us. What keeps giving me
nightmare daily is how our youths are following the paths of
our parents who had been smiling and dancing while
suffering yet go to churches and mosques to pray to God to
bring an end to our hardship. I have seen how the pastors
and Imams keep telling us to be patient and prayerful
because with time things will get better. I have seen how
many Ministers of God will not reject bags of cash from
corrupt politicians and civil servants, I have seen how they
build universities which the members of their church and
mosques cannot afford while many of them went to school
vide free education and different scholarships, I have seen
how they tell us money is the root of all evil yet they cannot
stop craving for materials, I have seen that we still live in the
days which western nations have surpassed that I have to
reckon with the fact that ours is truly a developing third
world nation, we might not change our nomenclature if our
youths do not change their mentality and start holding
accountable our leaders without fear or favour. I am not
preaching violence as that will defeat the object of my
concern but we must march out any person in government
who is anti people, now is the time we must tell them where
ultimate power belong. We cannot afford to die in silence. 1 Like 1 Share |

When I talk now, they'll say Nigeria youths are backdated and ill informed I'm telling you. Like my dad would say, Nigerians are used to suffering and that's why no matter the price of the commodity, we would buy. Its a bad thing, of course When we correct it, then we can change. I am a Leader of tomorrow but when would 'tomorrow' come? 2 Likes |

Biafra is Nigeria's problem, even those who live in absolute penury are more concerned about how army will kill unarmed Biafran protesters. 3 Likes |

How then do you intend to make your voice heard? Protest! You will get killed and if you resurrect and talk they will shoot you again...... Until you all stop supporting bad things and be courageous enough to speak the truth, you will be destined to keep on dying |
