Nigerians , What's Happening To Us ? by motikorede: 3:00pm On Oct 04, 2017
It is very sadden and heart breaking with the way our beautiful Nigeria had turned out this day.

It was founded in 1914 by lord luggard who amalgamated the southern and northern protectorate with the lagos coloney , meanwhile, lord luggard fiancé, Flora Shaw was the one that suggested a name for the country which had however been in adoption till today.

After long years of imperial rule from the colonist starting from 1900, Nigeria with her dexterous erudites from different zones in the country fought and struggled unabatedly for her independence from the Britain. She later got her freedom on Oct 1st 1960 after years of foreign rule.

However, 57 years after our inauguration, Nigeria had been plunged into factions and sets of consecutive catastrophes. Tough, hitherto the incumbent independence, this catastrophe seems to had been in existence all this while.

Tribalism is one big problem which is a concomitance to intensely bribery and corruption in the country.

It is in this Nigeria where if you don't belong to a particular tribe, you won't go anywhere or get things you want. This is not a frivolity, it happens everywhere, in schools, jobs, marriages, contracts e.t.c .

Nigerian had derailed so much into nepotism. Generally, this occurs as a result of tribalism. Laughably, Nigerians had forms a nickname for nepotism. It is called " connections".

Unbelievably, connections had now turned sarcrosanct in Nigeria. It is a general something. It is a stern belief that if you don't have the latter , your progress in life will be hampered. However, Nigerian have a clandestine solutions to this problem. They resort into bribery. Everyone is guilty of this one , because 80 out of 100 percent had done this.

All these are chronic hindrance impeding the countries growth. Corruption is everywhere.

The painful thing is the impunity, here in Nigeria, those involved in this anti-country activities always scott-free unpunished.

Subsequently, Religion stands out as another agent of trouble in this country. The hatred that ebbs from this part is more cancerous than any other. It has gnawed so deep to the extent that , it affect everything especially marital affairs. Some happy homes had torn into shreds because of this religious mantra. However , this problem originates from religious centres people belong to respectively. Where some clerics preach peace, love and tranquility, some incite harted .

This can only be solve if our religious leaders endeavour to preach goodswill to their congregations. While the masses should also be tolerable to each other irrespective of their religion.

Another problem is the media. In a general view, tough it had contributed to the upliftment and globalization of the country , however , it as successfully thrown the country into jeopardy.

Today, people are using the social media as a platforms for their flammable and irksome remarks. The spread of hate speeches today is not only annoying but also a detriments to animosity among tribes, regions and religious setups in the country . It not as if there is nothing like hate speech those days, but it wasn't as flamboyant as of nowadays. Infact , it has turned to a normal thing. Everyone is free to maunder his rubbish on this platforms. Sadly, once this speeches gets on air, it is there for everyone to see and likewise permanent.

Sometimes, some informations are over exaggerated by journalistic write-ups. This is an Achilles foot to the general media . Let me give you an instance. A trending news had be circulating on social media , where some properties were finagled at the residence of former president Jonathan by his securities. At first , it was on news that 32 plastma television and other grandiose. Properties worth billions of naira was stolen from the former's home. However , it was later discovered that the news men had erroneously exaggerated the real facts.

The social media had lost its integrity. Instead of publishing the truth, they falsify fact at the expenses of the unknowing readers. Influential individuals are out there making hate speech everyday, instead of calling them out so as to curb this problem, many media organisation won't do that simply because they want to get advert patronage, plus they don't want to get blocked from accessing state Houses, therefore they always turn a blind eye to things like this.

This is very wrong. Media organizations should scrutinize every dark ambit of both govermental offices and its officials. The fear of being illegally sanctioned should be mitigated. Together in truthfullness , we stand a chance to triumph our current predicaments.

Nigerian let's stand together and fight our ways out of these trouble. Please share your opinions , so as others would be enlightened.... Thank You.

[if we hit the reset button, is their any propitious resolutions that can set things right, better than what we have now?

In my opinion I see Nigerian as a field filled with corrupt individuals and revenge seekers.

The solution to our problem begins from the " THRONE" . This is where the power and authority dwells. President Buhari should bury his hatchet against the south south and south east who voted against him during the 2015 election. He is not a president of one tribe , but to all Nigerian . He should rearrange his appointment which had copiously favoured the north.

Political giants like Ayodele fayose , Nysom Wike , Fani kayode and co. Should desist from their contemptous speeches against the current administration. I believe that with positive negotiations the country will return to tranquility and prosperity

let's take Alhaji shagari's administration for instance. The NPN which is a northern controlled party zoned it vice president to the south east, a part of the country that was involved in the struggle against the rest federation.
The NPN reached out to the Ndi igbo and brought back to politics. Infact , with this effect a lot of igbos started to embrace this sense of belonging again after years of so much agony
It got to an extent that the then administration encourage national unity , it pardon general ojukwu. They brought him back to his home and he was later carried away that he joined politics and even joined the party.

I feel that with the right steps , Nigerian would return to it normal self. If we restructure today, what are the chances that things won't get aggravated ?]
