NIGERIA



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?

 we complain of boko-haram in the north, did they drop from the skies? are they not people's parents, husbands, wives, children?

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.
