It's sad to know that Nigeria is gradually falling into a space of a failed nation. Where everything fails. Security of lives and properties is now a thing of the past! A place where nothing works, from road to electricity, hospitals, police, judiciary, water, policies etc. Nothing works in this country. And the things that work like toll Gates and BRT buses have been hijacked by bigots and polithievecians.
A country where one politician creates chaos to score points not minding the lives lost in the process. This is Nigeria a country of outright lawlessness, a country made only for the rich and nepotistic individuals.
The issue/news of burning tankers or containers that fall from bridges, fulani killings, Boko Haram, kidnappings, oil bunkers, ritualists and Yahoo boys, hungry SARS, scam pastors etc that usually now become headline of our newspapers daily is appalling. We a tool of our own unbecoming. Black is not a color, it's a mindset! A mind set of backwardly thinking selfish individuals who only thank God that misfortunes happen to others and not them. Not ever minding the cause of those mishaps.
Tankers have fallen during Johnathan's era in same Berger claiming hundreds of lives and containers have fallen from bridges during fashola's time also. So its sad for some of these people either APC or PDP to come out saying rubbish to score points for the next coming election. The issue is every one of them have failed us! They have bungled our lives and lives of loved ones on mere politics and greed.
We are fantastically corrupt in all our doings and thinking. Life is more than the big cars and the twalees or sai babas accolades we get daily. Life is really not worth living in Nigeria because there is nothing guaranteed. If you like loot public money of Nigerians and build house on Abuja or banana island. The death that will kill you is waiting for you in plateau. It's time we speak out, it's time we ask ourselves deep questions. If we get to survive all this shithole problems by managing it and thanking God it dint happen to us. Can our kids or unborn children ever survive this zoo. Where you have to call all your generation daily just to make sure they made it home safe for the day. And yet you don't know what tomorrow holds. And those that tried running from here end up being sold to slavery in libya, Oman and Dubai! There is no religious anything involved, no sentiments, no ethinicity, no tribalism. No yoruba, afenifere, odua or ipobism involved. We are just too lazy as youths to take our country back! And these old, greedy, blood thirsty, drama acting, politicians will continue to use our lives and that of our future generations to be playing ludo. The truth is Nigeria is failed nation. We need courage to take our stolen country back! God bless Nigeria.
We are next!
