Nigeria’s Problem is You!

Every day, I sit to ask myself… Whose problem is Nigeria’s? Because most at times, we act like it’s a foreign problem and we are just here to analyze, scavenge and then later leave.
Today, already known to us that on paper, Nigeria is the biggest economy in Africa and the 26th biggest in the world (according to our rebased GDP which pits us at $509.9 billion). As much as it excites those rulers in power to flaunt this is not as much as it vexes those without power to hiss at this.
But realistically, today we are thronged with a mother of issues, ranging from wide spread poverty to inequality to public and private mismanagement and sorts. Every day, I watch the news about Nigeria, I read through comments on blogsites and online news platforms and my spirit breaks, then I ask myself… Who divided Us?
My spirit doesn’t break because we have a problem but because we are all looking at ourselves searching for those whose ethnic or religious group caused the problem we face today, all to feel cool with you, saying… once I can point my finger at someone then I am cool, and this most at times go into the lines of aggressive attack of our beliefs into ethnicity and religion.
Our division is our real problem and not any problem you think is our problem. No monster! No problem! No Government can stand against a majority and active united people. Some were paid to make a divide but how much is that soul worth?
The question today is… can we know where you stand? For or against those who are sucking us dry and flaunting figures globally, for or against those who are asking for overseas help to catch backyard terrorists, for or against those who are arresting those who demand for their rights, for or against those sucking and killing jobseekers, for or against those who treasure politics, self and family above national interest?
Ask yourself this question… When did you last see a protest and all your mind searched for was a reason why the protest shouldn’t have held. Are you that sold out? Why this fear for your freedom? If you don’t want it, don’t you think of your children? All I will say to you is that you are a coward whose lot will be to finally fall prey to these rulers, lick their feets and eventually end up as naught whose magnification they are today.
I just hope you can think this through and be so sure of where your allegiance lies because you will never be able to beat those whose morals, light, and right cannot be tampered with by those whose souls are bought.
Be Smart for your future and not just your deceptive safety or pocket!
Think this through.
Thanks for reading.
