When did it start?
Was it the day I saw a child abused? Or the day children started hawking, the day our educational system fell like Goliath? Oh! Let me refresh your memory – just 20 years ago, JAMB results were brought to our doors, admission letters were given freely and other incentives were added for scholars to be more relaxed but all has changed. Was it the day our politicians started embezzling OUR money or the day religious crises became the order of the minute? Was it when the Biafra emerged or when the Niger-Delta militants wanted a ‘change’ or when the notorious BOKO HARAM had their ‘vision’?
Tell me, when our founding fathers made their sacrifice, was this what they expected? I often hear that, “Great leaders see the end from the beginning”. Was this the end they saw in the beginning? How I wished I was amidst, perhaps I would have influence the outcome of October 1st the oher way.
Everything has gone worst than anticipated. The breeze of death is inhaled in states like Plateau, Kaduna, Bornu and even the South-South region in the name of selfish desires. I hear some call it ‘Religious right’ and others refer to it as ‘human right’ obviously, it is GENOCIDE.
Our ‘so-called-leaders’ whom we didn’t even voted into office (to them, rigging is allowed) uses our money more than we use the toilet papers to invest outside the borders of this nation when the average brethren feeds with below 150 naira a day. They even went to the extent of negotiating with terrorists – I wonder when they will stop. Those who pilot the affair of this nation to better end up in peasantry luxury or six feet below the ground level.
Look at the youths, they have been given ‘forcefully’ the title
‘LEADERS OF TOMORROW’ yet the decisions of ‘next tomorrow’ are made by ‘yesterday leaders'’. I have had enough. Am just tired of looking at them – the unemployed youths, they roam around wondering what next to do, I fear they become the devil’s workshop. What about the prostitutes? I can’t even write anything.
This brings us to the questions
Where have we gone wrong to deserve the Nigeria we live today?
Why will so many ‘bad’ befall us?
When did it all start?
How did it all happen?
Who will save us?
I believe that in the darkest storm lies a silver lining. I have heard many times that stories leads to glory. I believe that we have enough stories to go with. I believe that YOU and I have a role to play. I believe we can form an incorruptible army to sweep Nigeria. I BELIEVE in YOU!
It certainly was the day we stopped thinking and we help people that are blind to lead us to the land of the blind. Its so bad that all the leaders we've had never spoke about vision but rhetorics that'll will make them get more money. I've tried to wonder where are we headed, where does the future lies. Yesterday having a heated argument with my sister, why because change is a bitter pill. We're sometimes focused on the wrong things that we often don't find our rhythm. How can I be born to a corrupt system and expect the next generation to face this same system. In 2015 I see the light and we must revolt with our votes. We must stop doing the same things, lets meet the world where they are not where they were. TOGETHER WE'LL BRING THE CHANGE! S.H.I.I.N.E!
ReplyDeleteAm glad we are realizing where we have wronged this great nation as patriots who swore to uphold peace and progress!
ReplyDeleteTogether INDIVIDUALLY, with our unique abilities, we will make right what we haven't. We will not only SHIINE but make Nigeria SHIINE too!
