Letter To Mr President_ #gejonathan by Lexxybooy(m): 8:08am On Jan 15, 2015
Dear President Jonathan,As I started
reading the transcript of your speech in
your flag off campaign for 2nd term in
office, my heart was gladdened to
know that the speech was directed to
Nigerian youths of which I am one. I must
say that up to this time I decided
to read your manuscript I have heard a
lot of bad things that seemed true
about your government and hence
had a poor view of your time in office.
It was only after working hard to put my
sentiments away and after listening
to Oguntola Adelowo, a colleague of
mine who has been preaching about
you did I read online the transcript of
your speech.When you said 'my speech
is directed to the youths, those who will be
voting for the first time', I began
to doubt my earlier beliefs of you being
incompetent and lacking a plan, I was
eager to hear from you what and how
you have worked tirelessly for my
generation in the past 6 years in office and
also what you intend to do in the
next 4 years to consolidate your
efforts. Therefore sir, it came as a shock
to me that you spoke of everything
but your plans, you addressed every
issue but the germane ones that has so far
affected my generation and is
already shaping out our future.Sir, I did
what you requested, I asked my father,
a middle-class citizen, who is 66 years
old now about Buhari's tenure and
here was his reply 'I remember those days,
we had very stable electricity,
youths didn't fancy traveling abroad
because they felt they could get even
better here, I bought a carton of tin
peak milk for #1.20k, I could iron
press my clothes minutes to going out, fuel
was sold for 50k per liter, corrupt
people like umaru dikko were jailed
and killed, no minister or government
official could be accused of corruption
and resign only to run for an higher
office, and no public official was alleged with
fraud only to be seen on
National T.V laughing in court' and he
ended by saying that during those
times, everyone knew the rules and
tried as much not to break the law but
that now the same laws made to protect the
average Nigerian like him is
what his used to oppress them and he
concluded by saying that there is no
perfect government and that though it
was military they enjoyed many good
things that our own generation may never
enjoy due to the high level of
corruption in our government, except
of-course things change. Sir, in your
speech you spoke of building 12
federal universities, yet the one I
school in which is 30 years old can not still
provide enough sitting stools for
students. You speak of producing
more megawatts, yet I rarely have
power supply to view many of the
interesting programs and football
matches shown on DSTV. You speak of
needing time to tackle insecurity, yet
you have had 6 years already, you fail
to forget that Obama took down the
world's greatest terrorist in just 3 years.
You speak of fertilizer distribution, yet
we buy beans for #200 per derica from
#140 in 2010 when fertilizers where
stolen (I think I would prefer to have
the fertilizer stolen and buy food
cheaper than now. You speak of
improved economy yet we buy fuel for
#97 from #65 (49.32% increase), beans for
#200 from #140 (42.86%
increase), housing #200,000 from
#120,000 (66.67% increase),
transportation #50 from #30 (increase
of 66.67%), Salary # 18,000 from
#15,000 (increase of 20%). Where then is
the improvement in Nigeria's
economy not to forget ther over 100%
increase in fees paid by tertiary
institutions nationwide. Thank you for
admitting that your generation has
failed us, but my generations have decided
to do things differently, to
succeed where our fathers have failed;
to vote for a change in government.
Thank you sir for serving us to the best
of your abilities sir, your lack of
confidence to focus on your plans for us
within the next for years during
your speech has betrayed my
generations trust in you.Please ensure
our votes count as we intend to have a
landslide victory on February 14th.I am
a Nigerian youth.
