NIGERIA AT 58, which way?












Nigeria at 58 today naturally should call for celebration  but the truth is there is nothing to celebrate because as a country we are in a huge mess, as we are also sinking all round in every  aspect from finance, to agriculture where our food producing areas arent safe to education where they said the youths are the leaders of tomorrow they told us to go to school and get educated so that we could use education as our keys to unlock potentials and opportunities but they lied, even while trying to get this education we are not safe, just yesterday the university of Jos was invaded by unknown gunmen for those who manage to graduate, by the time we got out of school they changed all the locks, as a result our brightest minds are leaving the shores of the country with every tick of the clock
       The painful aspect is that even in 2018 we still  have some supposed elites who are spear heading these evils and abominable attitudes and misleading a bunch of underprivileged, hungry and greedy individuals who are at their mercy to to cheer a shameless man with a dead conscience  sited at the helm of affairs, at 58 the lives of cows are more precious than  human lives  sometimes i want to ask how long we would continue like this? with the senseless killings around the country its obvious that  that security too is zero but then i want to believe that if we can come together come 2019 as country we can change this narrative,  please dear celebrities, brand influencers and to all nigerins with living consciences lets resist backwardness and work on the nigeria of our dreams a nigeria where there would be law and order, where good governance would be key where our government would be responsible for her citizen, lets not forget LEAH SHARIBU  is still unaccounted for.
   Lastly dear youths,  lets not allow these politicians use us do their dirty works while their kids are balling in the finest cities of the world while they give us coins like TRADER MONI,  VOTE BUYING and even NPOWER SCHEME, you didnt go to school for four years or as long as strikes permitted you to face these things, remember the nights when you and friends  clustered under that tiny light to read, that night that you went for all night reading and you were bullied and had your phone taken from you, remember how you vowed that night to make the educational system function again above all remember you still have your dreams, instead of looking for greener grasses  outside the shores of this country why cant we water our own grass and shine on it but then what do i know? HAPPY BIRTHDAY NIGERIA....

  2. Good. Please punctuation marks should be obssrvob. While we hustle to acquire the required educational skills, we must get involved politically so that we can change our society to the way we want it.
