The fruits a tree bear shows if it’s really good or bad though we all know the antecedents of our President from his deputy governor days to the death of his oga. On his death bed, a lot of controversy rose and Nigerians got their own wish of the ‘Abuja Conspiracy’. They seem far away yet their benefactor seems to be the man behind the new fresh air they breathing.
Only princes are heir to the throne but when the politics of the ruling party is run by the ex-president than the wishes of the people. Then the worst might be expected from the ruling circle and the people bear their sweet fury. Opportunity knocks but once unless it’s seized, their helper might regret the favor. Power may be given but if the leadership traits are lacking, and then it becomes mediocrity.
“Minds against heart, personalities against people, wishes against needs, boundaries against capital, emotions against reality, rich against poor and ultimately LEADERS AGAINST PEOPLE, Where do we go from here?”
We seem to wake up from our slumber but the government deep sleep soon fall on us that we get too much comfort from the partial sight of our society. The leaders have neglected the followers, the elderly ones have neglected the younger generation with the youths wandering around for a solution though they don’t want to be tough.
Life’s hard but becoming soft brings more hard-knock lessons when we can get creative with the stones it throws which can make us the ultimate legend of our generation. Too much noise with no action kills and a past legend like Baba Awo has said ‘we would eventually fight for ourselves’. Against WHAT, WHEN and HOW but the real is WHICH STRATEGY MUST BE ADOPTED?
Gone are the days of 30,000,000 people with secondary school certificate accepted for employment. The graduates are no longer getting their desired job with the entitled to standard of living declining. The 21st century is here and we are caught in her trance as a nation and don’t know if we can let go of the ACCOMODATION, FEEDING, TRAVELLING, WARDROBE ALLOWANCES when there still a bad road that leads to their origin.
Our reference point can be taken from the ‘Occupy Nigeria’ protest which the older generation has confessed can change a lot. Hijacked by politicians with nobody to champion this new course, facts should be gotten with real business on the table so we don’t protest like the times of our father’s 3-days and the NLC negotiates with Ghana-must-go bags exchanging hands yet the people go back to a more darker and evil days. Is there a way around strike?
Reports have been dogged out but the dumpsite gets bigger with the vultures discovering more places to scavenge. Nigerians need to reject this fresh air to build a new future like the revolution of the Berlin wall and get a watch if their president can still tell them the right time.
We’ve been denied a lot but our parents have suffered to give us a good education which we must reciprocate by changing the trend they left. The patience we’ve had as a cultured generation has been turned into stupidity if a president can tell the whole world that the situation in Nigeria has only been exaggerated. Another Adolf Hitler has grown in the next street and acting ignorantly from the truth seems to be his only way out. It might still seem good with the countenance of his face but the still rage inside is destroying generations.
Blame it on prejudice but when a bad dream repeats itself, there’s more to the picture than the camera shutter. We can blame BBC but do we like what we see on our streets? Our leaders have turned the trust we have in them to build their empire. A responsible generation fights for her generation and we can’t just smile when #1.3 trillion is looted from the treasury of the nation. Mr. President comes out sheepishly again saying ‘I will work on the report’ when he’s praying for unity in his party. Someone should tell him his strategy is not working again. No one needs to work on that report than the people of Nigeria, Bye.
