Many of our parents were lucky during their time, there were jobs, so with just primary school and secondary education they had good jobs. Some started working before seeking tertiary education or technical/vocational education to complement their minimum education. They were contented with the little amount they earned because macro and micro economic variables (exchange rate, inflation, prices etc.) were favourable.
As times pass, true world politics catched up with Nigeria. The system where few capitalize on the vulnerability and gullibility of the many to enjoy the common huge resources and deplet favourable conditions for development and growth of the country, began.
Remember that presently, the country has gotten bad that even a PhD holder has to be either lucky, well connected or extremely persistent in job search to get employed.
Currently our parents can't even benefit from the investments on their children's education, as their children are mostly unemployed or underemployed. Things has gotten so bad that many graduates all in the name of entrepreneurship/selfemployment have resulted in undertaking many demeaning trades.
The big question is: if our time is like this and the country is still nose-diving downward, how will our next generation's time be? Maybe menaces that are currently growing such as ritual killings, kidnapping, fraud, militancy, cultism, prostitution, low moral values, will become accepted norms. The country will become a total jungle where the few strongest, thrive at the expense of the many weak.
The funny part of all these, is that some people that can hardly afford to fend for themselves will pick sides and support/defend politicians that only care about acquiring wealth and power for themselves and their family members.
As we prepare to vote for the candidate of our choice in the coming general elections, prudently expend some minutes to brood about the state of our nation, the country we will leave behind for our progeny. Think of the future of Nigeria and align your thoughts with the candidate that will most likely take the nation to preferred future. Let us throw away all facade and illusions leading us to support a particular candidate blindly in sake of emotion, tribal, religious and small monetary gains. What significant gain have you made from this candidates you continually chant their names and support. Many of us had in the past supported candidates that won election and totally forgot us. But I will categorically tell you that I had benefited more from regimes of those I never voted for.
Vote freely, vote prudent, vote wisely.
Remember that when we are hungry, the politicians have excess to eat with their family. When we are sick, they get the best healthcare abroad, when our schools are shutdown because of strike, their children go to the best schools abroad. When we bleed, they laugh at us and call us hooligans, when we suffer and hustle, they pleasure in the best hotels around the globe.
Contrary to what their bold faces and fake promises express, we are the one in control now, we hold the axe and we call the shots. They are at our mercy today, that is why they will dance like monkeys, sing like clowns and beg like beggars for our votes.
This is the time to punish or reward with your vote, after the election, you can only complain or maintain.
Every vote counts, votewisely.
