The Problem with Nigeria is the problem with us
The reactions I received from my last opinion article titled: ‘Lion that is now a Chicken’ was very encouraging and I decided to write another one. This time, I’m looking at the problem with Nigeria which I have identified as the problem with us! Any society that is made up of majority of people who don’t know what it takes to change the society is bound to fail. Nigeria is a great country with many youths who can make impact here in Nigeria and also all over the world but we are BLESSED WITH WORLD MOST TERRIBLE LEADERS! I’m sorry to call them that but I’m saying the truth.
The country’s leaders to me are just joking, but wait a minute, who are even the leaders? It is you and I off course. Do you know why? It’s because we elected the so called leaders. Since everybody cannot go to ASO ROCK, we had to elect those who will go there and represent us and manage the resources God gave us. If you argue with me that we never elected them on the first place then, we are also joking because we were meant to do so since the resources belong to all of us. Forget ethnic intolerance, religious intolerance, multiple tribal groups, they are not our main problem. They are human issues that will forever remain with humans till the end of time. Now, let me explain to us our problems and why these problems have turned out to be the major problem with Nigeria, are you with me then, take a little breathe in and out:
We Nigerians tolerate too much
I can remember once upon a
time when a white man peacefully insulted us by saying that Nigerians are the
only people in the world whom if you push to the wall, instead of fighting
back, they will prefer to break the wall and continue moving backwards. Do you
get me now? Go to other countries of the world, the people are not as
tolerating as we are in Nigeria. Take a look around you my fellow Nigerians; we
can all see things we don’t like, what have we done about them? Nothing if you
ask me. An example of what the white man said about the people of Nigeria is
even happening to us as you read this article! Are you socked? Please don’t be.
Now, take a look at this scenario: the toilet and bathrooms in our own school
is under renovation for the past two years now and is yet to be completed! Ask
me to point to anywhere in the world where the renovation of an ordinary toilet
and bathroom takes more than a century to complete and I will proudly
point at Nigeria! We were pushed to the WALL at the point where the toilet and
bathroom we use in this school remained the WORLD WORST HUMANITARIAN
SUBJECTION TO POOR TOILET AND BATHROOM FACILITIES but we broke the WALL by
deciding to accept the condition and chose to defecate in the BUSH and
have our bath very close to the BUSH!!!!!!!!!!! What a shame! We can
tolerate too much. We are exhibiting the life style of typical Nigerians whom
prefers to shut up than to talk. If we want to stop corruption in Nigeria as a
whole, we have to start within the place we find ourselves. Our leaders have taken
us to be fools-they subject us to terrible conditions and then, send their
children to SOUTH AFRICA, USA, CHINA BRITAIN, etc to live and study. It is so
funny that after we the student of this great school finishes using the BUSH
for defecating and taking our bath, we come out, iron our clothes, dress up,
take shuttle and happily go for our lectures. No wonder some foreigners claimed
that Nigerians are the happiest people on planet earth. The next thing we then
do is gather at a corner and spend our energy arguing about CHELSEA,
ARSENAL, BARCELONA, MANCHESTER UNITED etc forgetting that we have big
problem within us. Let me tell us the truth, God will VEX with us if we end up
like this till the end of time.
Let us wake up and decide
our own destiny by ourselves. The people in Egypt, Tunisia etc decided their
own destiny by themselves; we too can do so but in a very reasonable manner.
Those people had far better standard of living than us over here but they chose
to react by making their voices heard but in our case, we chose to tolerate.
The God we serve already know our problems but yet He still advised us to pray
without season. Our leaders know the right things to do for but they are
waiting for us to ask them. This is the simple logic behind the universe and
please, don’t get it twisted. When President Barack Obama visited Ghana
immediately he became the President of the United State, he said something that
should be ringing down inside our hearts. He said that Africa has one of the
world highest populations of able bodied youths thus, has the greater
opportunity to succeed. That was what he said and believe me, he was right.
It’s a pity that the youths in Nigeria are now silent simply because they can
tolerate too much!!!! And it is also a
pity that in the present 21 century, Nigeria still remained the most annoying
place to be, the most dirty, and most corrupt country in the world. My fellow
Nigerians, we have to put aside the problem of ethnic differences because it is
man’s natural problem but the problem of too much tolerance is never man’s
natural problem and we have to put a STOP to it now and right away. Look bro
and sister our God gave us mouth to speak and if we don’t speak for ourselves;
nobody would do it for us. I have come to the end of the first series of the problem
with Nigeria is the problem with us.
