Nigeria is my motherland. Am an Adult citizen. I have a right to uphold and honour her glory, as long as God keeps me whole. I have always been taught to be a patriotic citizen of this nation and to do my best to wish her all the best. We were told we are the leaders of tommorow when I was in primary school. I plan to be a part of a good leadership in the future as I am an ardent follower of the present. The freedom of Information Bill or Act which is now officially abided my law has given me another priviledge to exercise my right to freedom of thought.
I got thinking lately, Nigeria Is the Giant of africa. Nigeria is a senior member of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting countries. We are said to be blessed with abundant Natural resources from the crude oil to mineral resources to agricultural products. They say Nigeria is a blessed country with lots of resources, Human resources not excluded too. Yet, my people wallow in poverty. My country lacks a lot. Making use of one of the commonest facilities made available to the world in the form of the internet, I would like to know how many nations haven't attained uniterrupted power supply, how many nations have such bad roads like we do. How many nations lack basic health care facilities? The question is, Are our resources not good enough to provide for us? Is Nigeria under a curse not to develop? What is holding us back? Everyone needs to get serious about finding a solution to this question.
While I urge everyone to figure out what is happening to us, I figured out one big problem. There is no love in nigeria. Everybody wants to be at the top. Everyone is doing anything to make money. Our Leaders have left us a system filled with non-chalant policies that induce nothing but corruption. Everyone wants to make the money quick, No one wants to follow the due process. The Due process now is bribery and corruption. Yes, that's the way forward the country has taken. The Government of the people for the people by the people is now a total fallacy. Oligarchy, the government of a few interested in the oil money is what we have. They go into the government with the sole intension of spending the oil money in their selfish interests. Few people in government put the people first ahead of their personal gains. The oil money has brought corruption to our government. Nigeria is our country but the oil is for private pockets and this has to be stopped sooner than later. Part 2 coming next......
