Freedom in the mind, Faith in the words, Pride in our soul, agony in the face of a commoner. The hope of a great nation in the mirage. The young are gullible , the olds are liars. Men are selfish, women are wicked. Education, Infrastructure, Economy, Agriculture, Security are all in shambles. Optimism is lost, separation is imminent.
Decisions to value our one time great nation are Jeopardized. Policies are mandated to suit the interest of the oppressors. Masses interest hold no water. Innocents are dying but the political class are smiling. We are forgetting the sacrifices of those who fought for our lost independence. Independent on Paper but dependent in actions.
Democracy is brutal. Federalism is illusional. Religion Fanatics are dominant, Tribalism is celebrated, Hypocrisy becomes joy, Freedom is restricted to those that can buy it. Oppression become norms, as poverty becomes instrument of Oppression. Judgment is not served again but bought. Average Industrious Youths are struggling. Basic needs are no more BASIC, they become difficult. Everybody is power drunk, no body really wants to make a change. The self acclaimed giant of Africa is indeed blessed with lot of resources and personnel but no reasonable management culture.
How I wish we can have a Nigeria the founding fathers Hoped for. How I wish the youths are capable of becoming the leaders of tomorrow, and even today. How I wish we can live in peace and harmony. How I wish Freedom can be freedom. How I wish we can really be Independent once again. How i wish Good things can really come. How i wish Nigeria can be great again. How I wish we can really celebrate.
