Someone asked a question and the answer made
me cry...
Someone posted it on Facebook and i kinda
wept...
He asked, what do you get when you add no
light, no water and no president?
Ans; Nigeria.
We claim to be the giant of Africa yet we
can't even boast of light,
We blame our leaders but the average citizen
isn't better
Are we waiting to be colonized again?
This year we celebrated our 53rd anniversary, of corruption?
How long are we going to wallow in self pity
and shame...
Few years ago we sent the Ghanaians packing,
with the popular slogan 'GHANA MUST GO'. Now we're on the verge of being kicked
out of Ghana.
No universities... Did u say i lie?with children sitting at home for how many months? Okay sure
there are private universities for the children of the rich,,,and the rest?
Left to suffer?
A country that can't train its youths is
heading for destruction.
We complain of armed robbery but we won't
put the youths to work.
The child sent home from school today for
failure to pay fees is the potential gun totting criminal of tomorrow,,,
back to our leaders and people we look up to, Do we have role models or rough models?
Everyone wants to travel abroad, we've been so
disgraced we have to be stripped naked to be searched at international airports,
I weep how i weep for Nigeria.
A 53 year old baby, and dying of a terminal
disease,
The average 14 year old girl is carrying an
unwanted pregnancy,
The average 17 year old male is a gun totting
criminal.
Our musicians sing only of the rot of the
nation,
The average American wakes up in the morning
and says God bless America. The average Nigerian wakes up with curses on the
lips for Nigeria...
A 3 year old child is already an abusive
violent person
A 22 year old man is the street drunk...
Our leaders we say are looters but when given
opportunity to head organizations we do our own share of looting...
When someone brings an idea to move the nation
forward, we criticize until the person gives up, if the person doesn't, we
assassinate...
We complain of the militants in the
Niger-delta, we blame oil companies, did they establish themselves? Don't they
pay royalties to the host state?
I end on this note, i still believe in
Nigeria, we can be great again, we will be great again if all and sundry can
decide to change the nation by first of all changing themselves...
Bishop FEB Idahosa II would always say; be the change you want to see. a drop of good might not change the world, but it sure would change someone's world.
