Same old story



In their days,
They got employed before their graduation,
They needed just their interest to be sponsored to school,
They needed just credibility to be given Government appointment,
They needed just interest, accountability and popularity to be elected into Government positions,
They were all given fair weather to enhance their living.


BUT
Only for them to have achieved their aims in life,
They destroyed the atmosphere for us today and told us we are the leaders of tomorrow but we have passed countless numbers of tomorrow in life, so when is the exact tomorrow coming?


However, we are truly born leaders therefore, I urge you that has given a thought to these facts to stand and face the challenge auspiciously because we were promised the leaders of tomorrow and that tomorrow is now, we must lead because the young must grow.


Happy Independence day Nigeria

I hear people saying why they went after ipob nd I wonder what their problems are. I see going after ipob as a proactive step in stopping the events that would have taken place if ipob were not stopped. Funny enough, we all know of the threat from the Northern youths. Putting a stop to Kanu's madness completely neutralised that threat and I'm grateful to the President for that... Happy Independence my people

How many people actually watched this on TV? Anyways let's continue the list:

58. Unconstitutional operation of the python dance
59. Selective corruption fighting.
60. Zero accountability as per the TSA.
61. Zero accountability for acclaimed recovered looted funds.
62. Media trials and media prosecutions
63. Media propaganda as regards the true state of the economy
64. Thinking Nigerians are stupid by presenting a meager 57 points as achievements with most of them repetitions.

He said nothing new!!! The speech wasn't live as well, it was recorded and poorly edited.

I couldn't even hear half of what he said.

In other words, what he said did not appeal to me
Tell us how you want to solve our challenges, tell us you got a plan and how you will go about it... Not the same old same old abeg
