"Nigerians need social services not political gimmicks.
I am already awake thinking of what communities are enduring because governments failed them. The list is long and endless...big budgets without implementation, insecurity, flood disasters, epidemics and more. Bad still is the failure of governments to strengthen the agencies administration...parastatals, ministries and the civil service. The ugliest scenario is the one that allows callous impunity of those in power favoring cronies and kinsmen only. It is embarrassing that this is how the larger function of Nigerian democracy works in most states of the federation. I see more sense in the agitation that calls for the disbanding of states and their governors in the interest the people"

The truth is, our society is full of leaders whose conscience are nail-dead to feel and be changed by the impact of such spirit awakening words, while the society itself is made up of kiss assess, cowards, future political oppressors, and the "all am waiting for is for me to die because am old enough" kind of people, who just sit by and watch them.
ReplyDeleteMy pain is in the fact that those in position to do something know who are behind aaaaalllllll the problems of this country, yet, they look the other way, or are sometimes even the reason why such people exist.
ReplyDeleteTake the case of one of the Northeastern states in the country, the deputy governor was impeached, and when it was time to choose another one, the governor took an exile, a man whose house was burned and sent away from another middle belt state for harbouring Boko Haram members, as his deputy. What next, the deputy attempted to kill the governor, but could only succeed in becoming an acting governor. What's worst? Now the so called acting governor has subjected the state into a chaos it has never experienced. He imported his old friends into the state, and used the state funds to arm them to kill the citizens of the state. Now, he is campaigning to be the next governor of that same state.
Can the president claim not to know all these, or all those behind the killings of the innocent souls all over the north? Are these people beyond death?
So, why is it that all we ever hear is, "condemnation of the recent killings", but no real condemning actions are taken?
Why are the governors (acting or elected), still allowed to enjoy the ACs of those offices instead of feeding on the bullets of the firing squads?
Please, enough of the condemnations, it's time to sanitize this country of all these blood thirsty demons.
