Answers to Nigeria’s Problem -By Abdulganiyu Ibraheem

Whenever I see a group of people sitting together having a time-worn clamor about the current situation of the country Nigeria, I only look but shrug, Knowing too well if we want things to be good, then we need to wake up from our slumber.

All we are good at is disparaging the government and watching things getting totally out of hand; price of goods in the market keep inflating, stable electricity; zero, portable pipe borne water; f9, good infrastructure; E8. To mention but few.

We are being exploited by the country’s political animals (the government), who sieze every opportunity that cross their path in exploiting the country’s resources. They travel abroad like one who is entering his room, no one can tell the amount of money they has been siphoned in their foreign account, they buy exotic cars with the country’s money, build mansions with the money meant for you and I. But funny Nigerian, we sit, fold our arms and be delusional that everything is coming to be okay, till 60 years swept us by. But guess what a typical Nigerian will say; ‘’Nigeria will be good”. but am still trying to fathom out an answer a reasonable person will ask, ‘’when?’’.

But left to me, I think the only way out of these whole mess, even though I might sound like a schnook is, if Nigerian can rise up and fight for itself.

But we are scared to speak up, hoping an advocate will ascend from heaven to speak for us. We are scared to die, we are scared to challenge them by fighting them, taking arms against any of them that fail us, we are scared because we are all coward, we are scared because we are weak, and we don’t want war, we don’t want to end up like other African countries and Asian countries that raised and took arm against those government that doesn’t ’t have their interest at heart, and at long run blessed with good ones.

And I must tell you this, in all the suffering they’ve inflicted on us and the oncoming one, the only one among that is capable of ruining us is the fear they’ve succeeded in sowing in our mind, and as long as we live by it and not rising up to look in to their face and tell them enough is enough; my brother, this is just a preamble. If it is war they want, let give it to them, so as to put a stop to the mess we are into, and saving the coming generation from sharing with us the misfortune that has successfully built a castle in this country of ours. “How I wish, I only wish that the truth has a tongue”.
