The blunt truth. Nigeria and Nigerians!

*TIME FOR SINCERE PROPER SELF REVALUATION:*

**In Nigeria, we are just a dishonest, unpatriotic and ungodly human beings on the path of self destruction* .

_A shame on our race._

*I totally agree with the following by Bar Ola Kunle Allison: who says*
*Religion is not our albatross in Nigeria* .

It has never been.

*WE ARE JUST A SICK INDIGENOUS PEOPLE BLAMING EVERYTHING* _BUT OURSELVES._

I just saw a short documentary on *CNN* about the *Emirate of Dubai (an Islamic State)* and *her many disruptive and record-breaking technological/innovative strides, and my heart sank into despair* .

*Dubai* is NOT a *country* . It is just *one out of seven emirates that make up the UAE* .

An Islamic country which declared *independence* from *Great Britain* in *1971* .

Yet, *Dubai is the fastest growing Science and ICT hub in the world. Yes, you read that correctly; in the world!*

As I watched the documentary and *marveled at the unbelievable leaps in education, innovation and infrastructure achieved within 50years,* I began to compare *the emirate with our own Emirate of Sokoto and Emirate of Kano back home.*

```Folks, the difference is a universe apart.```

*Did you know that the Emirate of Dubai has singlehandedly launched 2 satellites into Space?*

Did you know that the last *launched spacecraft* had the *innovative signature of a Dubai teenage girl on it?*

*A teenager who dreams to be the first astronaut on Mars* .

Did you know that by 2020 the Dubai emirate will be launching *its first Mars Exploration Spacecraft?*

Did you know that the Dubai emirate currently has the largest number of *FOREIGN RESEARCH SCIENTISTS AND ICT EXPERTS IN THE WORLD?*

*This is a deeply culturally Islamic State prioritizing Science, Technology and Futurism.*

What then is different about their own *practice of Islam and the ones we have here at home?*

What is different about their practice of *Islam* which *encourages a teenage girl to aspire to Mars* while *emirates at home marry off under aged girls?*

What is different about their practice of Islam *which prioritizes innovations and science* , while even *Churches* back at home only *prioritize buildings and tithing?*

*Guys, religion is not Nigeria's albatross.*

Anyone who argues *otherwise* is *thinking fallaciously.* Nigeria is messed up because we *have our own issues.*

_Our orientation, our mindset, our value-system, our sociocultural ethics, our ways are deeply_ *ANTIPROGRESSIVE!*

I just saw men in *Arabic gowns and women in Arabic purdah* (the moderate ones) having a dialogue about championing the next *frontiers in science and innovations.*

*Any so-called Christian who defends the kind of Christianity we practice in this country is part of the problem.*

For now, the *Emirate of Dubai* is the *leader of the Arab World* .

*A well deserved title.*

#truth is sacred
Selah.

*PROFESSOR ISA HUSSAINI OF FACULTY OF PHARMACY UNIVERSITY OF MAIDUGURI WROTE* :

_The blame for what Nigeria has become falls on you and me. Not Buhari, not Jonathan, not Obasanjo and definitely not Abacha._

*OUR WICKEDNESS STINKS TO THE HEAVENS AS WE GO ABOUT OUR DAILY LIVES, PULLING DOWN EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING TO BECOME RICH.*

We import substandard products, fake drugs and expired baby food unfit for human consumption and *we have the nerve to complain about leadership?*

*We even steal from widows, orphans, weaklings and refugees. We take their food and sell it for profit. No conscience.*

Nothing is sacred. No one is spared.

*WE BUILD SUBSTANDARD ROADS, SCHOOLS, HOUSES, HOSPITALS, ALL FOR PROFIT AT THE EXPENSE OF HUMAN LIFE;AN INVALUABLE ITEM WHICH ALL OUR PROFIT AND CONTRACT SUM CANNOT BUY.*

One would think this behavior is reserved for urchins *but it would surprise you that this is the character of many decent looking people who appear to be normal but are not any better than Boko Haram members.*

_They are church members, Muslims, husbands, wives and sadly youths_ .

*WE PERVERT JUSTICE AND PRETEND WE DO NOT KNOW RIGHT FROM WRONG JUST TO SERVE OUR SELFISH INTERESTS.*

*Slave traders pale in comparison to what we do to ourselves.*

WE ARE WICKEDNESS PERSONIFIED.

*So much hatred flows in our blood and we transfer it to our children. It's evident in what we say and do.*

We have fasting and prayer sessions all year long, night vigils and deliverance when the actual problem is *us* .

*WE SIMPLY CANNOT LEARN TO LOVE OTHERS . IT IS ME, ME, ME. THAT IS ALL THAT EVER MATTERS. IT IS SICKENING.*

*Anyone who cannot love has no business in Politics, Government Parastatals / Agency and in Nigeria.*

*Until we understand this, we will continue on this path of destruction* .
