A Crown On A Clown by sagitariusbaby(m): 8:17am On Oct 05, 2017 |
U CANNOT PUT A CROWN ON A CLOWN AND EXPECT A KING.... History Being Repeated? . In 1983: . $1 = N 1 £1 = N2 Volkswagen Beetle = N1,400 Foods were in abundance Kids were in school Businesses were booming with vibrant economy and people were gainfully employed. No illegal arrest or media trial. Rule of law was maintained. . On 31 December, 1983, he and his criminal gang struck with the excuse of tackling widespread corruption and within few months, . $1 = N15 £1 = N40 Volkswagen Beetle = N8, 000 Kids dropped out of school because their parents couldn't afford their school fees anymore. Businesses closed down. Foods were rationed as people queued up for essential commodities. Many Nigerians lost their jobs because the economy collapsed. Innocent Nigerians were arrested for free speech and human rights violated with impunity. The Constitution was suspended. . He blamed Alh. Shagari's govt for this mess. He blamed corruption, yet he jailed Dr. Alex Ekwueme (the Vice President) but left Shagari (the president) in his palace. . But when another gang threw him out, and within few months, Nigerians started smiling again. Our kids returned to school, food was in abundance again, Nigerians got their jobs back and the economy was revived etc. . In 2015: . $1 = N175-190 £1 = N289-320 Cars were affordable with local manufacturers smiling to the bank. Food was in abundance (at least a bag of rice was N7, 000) Kids were in school Businesses were booming with vibrant economy, no illegal arrest or media trial. . On 29 May, 2015 when he was 'jega-ed' into power: . $1 = N315-510 £1 = N550-610 Local car manufactures shut down their plants due to harsh economic condition. Famine was unleashed on Nigerians and a bag of rice rose to N22, 000/27, 000 while minimum wage remains N18, 000. Kids dropped out of school. Businesses closed down, millions lost their jobs and inflation is in double digits. Just like in 1985, he's blaming corruption and his predecessor for the same mess he created within few months of assumption of office. "YOU CANNOT PUT A CROWN ON A CLOWN AND EXPECT A KING." |

Seriously? Someone likely a youth typed this whole stuff to point out the failures of a president. Let me tell you op, this is just the beginning of tough/difficult time in Nigeria and Africa at large. Oh! Our ancestors have failed. Yes! What about it? They have failed and we know, we can insult them or lament because of their failure but that matters not. We are always quick to talk,judge,insult and criticize people. Most nigerian youths now are now activist. Fella Kuti talked,talked and talked. Many people see him as a role model. But, what is the effect of Felas action on our world now? What change or improvement did he bring to our nation? The answer is NOTHING. He just made noise and die the way many of us are making now. The question we should ask ourselves is "How can I help my country to be better?" rather than making noise everywhere. Many of us envy USA but forgot that it was not always like this. The efforts and work of Americans is what made USA great and will make her the greatest name ever mentioned on Earth. As at 2017,we still follow the ways of our failed ancestors. Our problem now is not just the presidency, it is all of us. |
