The Dilapidated State Of The National Library Abuja (Photos) by GistAlert(op): 7:40am On Aug 07, 2019
A Nigerian man took to Facebook to lament over the dilapidated state of the National Library which he said left him confused upon getting there.

The Facebook user alleged that the Central Area Abuja is the most expensive district in FCT but the National Library Headquarters is arguably the worst building in the area.

Ozii Baba Anieto also said the building looked like the Onitsha Police Barracks of the 80s as its frontage is occupied by food vendors cooking right inside the building.

He wrote;

When the taxi stopped me in front of the structure, I refused to pay him. This could not be my destination. I plainly told him I was going to the National Headquarters.

The taxi driver was not in the mood to fight back, he could tell that I was defeated by the sight that saluted me.

'This is the only National Library I know in central Area,' he confusedly said. 'Call the person you want to meet let's confirm if there is another.'

'That's the problem with you. If you don't know a location, you should simply say you don't know. This stress you are putting me through is avoidable.'

'Oga, just call the person. I go take you to the right location. I think say na only this one be the National Library. Look up na, you will see National Library written boldly on top.'

I was confronted by his claim, that's when I decided to call.

'Ijee, please I don't know where this guy dropped me. It looks like Onitsha Police Barracks of 80s. Even the frontage is occupied by food vendors that are cooking right inside the building.'

'Yes. Thats the National Library. Come inside and wait for me at the reception.'

(Central Area Abuja is the most expensive district in FCT. The National Library Headquarters, arguably, is the worst building in that district)

sad 99% of our politicians hate to do smart things.

As a matter of fact, almost all of them were and are cultists both in school and even now.

They have mentalities just like motor park touts.

The directors who have served in this place should be called back from retirement and burnt alive.

We lack maintenance culture in Nigeria
Even houses built during the 19th century in western nations are still in good shape.

Nigeria has been rated by the World Culture Score Index as one of the countries in the world with the lowest reading culture, while available statistics from National Commission for Mass Literacy, Adult and Non-Formal Education shows that 38 per cent of Nigerians are non-literate as four in ten primary school children cannot read for comprehension. Regrettably, this adverse development is an ominous challenge the country seems not to be paying needed attention to. Imagine how bad the National Headquarters is.

Upwardly mobile and forward thinking nations of the world have as their core value the pursuit of knowledge, even the creme of antiquity share this notion save my country Nigeria where BGS go home with a paltry 10k (to buy shoes and start job hunting), educational facilities are decrepit and the 'National' Library is a national disgrace.

On the flip side, BBN participants; winner and all await mouth watering rewards and encomiums.

It is my prayers that either by dint of masterstroke or 'luckstroke' Nigeria eventually gets it right.

You see why we need a revolution? All hands must be on deck regardless of tribe and religion to get those past leaders who ruined Nigeria. Buhari was the vehicle but he is not in charge.

A country without a reading culture what do you expect...a quick glance at the one in Aso rock gives credence to the state of the library.
