MY MUSINGS ON NIGERIA 1.

This is going to be one of a series i will be doing on MY MUSINGS ON NIGERIA,THEY WILL BE A COMPILATION OF MY THOUGHTS.So please read on.

I just have to put down my thoughts about all the instability going on in this country,ias hopeful and highly optimistic as i am about Nigeria,i just pray i don't lose hope,because my hope is beginning to thin out.

For how long are we going to continue like this?i feel like ranting,i know most people share the same feeling,they understand they way i am feeling right now.There is a huge divide between the rich and the poor,people die of hunger everyday.While our leaders siphon our monies to foreign lands,and in foreign accounts,money laundering has now become the order of the day,they sqaunder how collective wealth without constraints.

For how long are we going to remain in darkness?with all the dams in Nigeria we cannot generate electricity,money is even allocated to fuel generators in our ministries by the presidency,wow!how shameful is that?There is really no hope,and the masses are expected to pay for power which they did not enjoy,i cry for my country.So many business have falling apart because of lack of power,for how long are the low income business men going to depend on petrol to power their generators?And not that fuel comes cheap this days anyway.

For how long will this country have to suffer from maternal mortality?To see women still dying from childbirth is a shame,just because some people have refused to develop our healthcare facilities,our hospitals are in a state of disrepair,In this time and age;Nigeria is the only country alongside Pakistan that still suffers from polio epidemic.No children should have polio in this century,but go to the north and see how endemic the disease is over there.

For how long are we supposed to continue living in fear?Fear of armed robbers and kidnappers is now  the beginning of wisdom!kidnappers now abduct random people just to call out ridiculous amounts of money which their families cannot afford,all in the name of ransom.Our security operatives are not helping matters,they always seem to turn the blind eye.What is the goverment doiung about curbing this menace.They are so comfortable,after all,they have security operatives protecting them twenty four hours a day!So many crimes abound,youngsters have now resorted to crimes like it is running out of fashion,no jobs or anything worthwhile to keep them busy,the rate of unemployment is on the rise..i know i am ranting,and i will continue to rant.

For how long will prices of food stuff will be on the rise?An average family can barely survive just because some people who are meant to serve them and provide a better life for them are sitting on the money that belongs to the entire populace.They display their ostentatious lifestyle without caring whose ox is gored.Their children are opportuned to attend the best schools abroad,they party hard and live on the fast lane,while the children of the oppresed can barely pay his way through high scholl,and tertiary education seem like a tall dream.All the money allocated or budgeted for education and indded other sectors are diverted and put to personal use.When will this set of people be held accountable for their acts?

For how long will the fuel scarcity last?Fuel stations hoard fuel hoping for an increase in the price so that they can make extra cash and enjoy through  their own selfish gains.I have come to know that some Nigerians are so  greedy and most do not care about the plight of the next man,so far their own pockets are full.No wonder we have bad leaders in power,because the average citizen is wicked in his thoughts and deeds.

For how long will there be the culture of ritual killings in Nigeria?where you have people killing others in cold murder  all in the name of money rituals?A case ofm an's inhumanity to man.No conscience whatsoever.And because we are in a country where people celebrate ill gotten wealth,it has become a norm,it is even no longer shocking to hear of such horrors stories,when did we get here?No wonder some will go any length to butcher a fellow man to sacrifice for money.

For how long will rapist get away with their insane acts?Rape cases are now on the rise,the trend is so scary.One would think with the number of women of easy virtue that plies their trade in almost every corner in all states of the federation,men would need not look further to satisfy their crazy urge,but no,they would rather turn to violence and molest women,and knowing the kind of justice system we have,they ae sure to get away with it most times.

I can go on and on over so many issues we are facing in Nigeria,so many questions fill my head,but i can only hope that change will come,and i so much want to be part of that change.I can only pray it comes soon enough.
