The Loophole Called Federal Government by 9jaHope(m): 7:52am On Jul 27, 2009
I remember a poem from secondary school titled -Who’ job is it? It goes something like this:
This is the story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry because it was Somebody's job.
Everybody thought Somebody could do it but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it
It ended that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done!
This poem graphically illustrates the dilemma called Nigerian government. Everybody in this instance could stand for the almighty Federal government, which ascribes to itself all the functions within the country; some have termed this a unitary style of government, whereby all the resources and responsibilities lie with the Federal government including, unbelievably - roads within a state !
The Federal government is responsible for Power generation and almost everything you can think of, that affects the everyday lives of ordinary Nigerians.
While this shouldn’t be a problem, if they were indeed doing the job, but what you have is that Nobody(or No one i.e. zero) does what should have being done by Mr Everybody(Federal),which promptly blames Mr Somebody (state).
And who suffers. . . . . . . .the masses. . .

Solution. . . .less and less Federal government,more and more state and local government. This might sound too simplistic,but it is realistic.

Those are the facts and the truth. Both the leadership and followers in this country knew it.

The only people who could do something about it are the 'leaders' failing which the followers will take laws into their hands.

What will then happen is that the almighty Federal Government or 'leaders' will try to crush the uproar and resistance created by themsleves for their own selfish reasons, and then we will have a BLOODY REVOLUTION.

As they say, Every day is for the thief, one day is for the owner. The thieves are in control now, Nigerian's day, is one day away. Let those who have ears LISTEN NOW and correct the anomalies.

Is like God sending Noah to warn everybody of the impending end of the Earth, the people then refused to listen (as our current 'leaders' will refuse) until such people will all perish.

NIGERIA; GOOD PEOPLE, GREAT NATION, AWFUL LEADERSHIP grin grin grin
