Nigeria @ 57, A Country Lying Prostrate!
By A Very Angry Adeola
My reactions to the independent anniversary celebration in Nigeria since the past 11 years when l started blogging is the same. Nigeria is a huge joke nowadays.
Recently a friend send me a text message and said that l have been quiet. Not really, 11 years of blogging on related topics cannot be silence. If you miss me on my facebook or on the Nigeria Village Square, go to my blog and read what l have written. They are as relevant today as they were yesterday.
Nigeria is ruled by criminals and so nothing has changed.
Anybody celebrating Nigeria’s 57 years as an independent country is most definitely a fool. It could also be all the criminals assembled in the APC and PDP congratulating one another for their conquest of Nigeria.
You really have to be sick to celebrate failure, backwardness, poverty, lack of vision, lack of progress and many other nonsense and rubbish. You need to be sick to celebrate a country where the president goes abroad to receive medical treatment. A country where the educationals system is in shatters. A country where there is no electricity and a governor is donating generators to the Police. You need a psycho check up if you are the celebrant!
Shamefully enough, a little over 2 years ago, all of us bought the biggest scam in Sub-tropical Africa. We subscribed to the change slogan of the APC. The PDP could not buy the scam because paradoxically it is the same as the APC. They probably went behind the scene to laugh at us and merry with theoir common friends, the criminal politicians.
For the past 2 years, far worse than the last 55 years before it, Nigeria is ruled by clueless and insane criminals. They keep swapping between APC and PDP and personally l don’t even know which party is which anymore.
Their sole aim remains self-enrichment. For all the shouts and pleas, the National Assembly continue to cart home billions of naira every month as salaries and remunerations. Two years after the change slogan, they status quo remain the same.
Several former governors continue to loot the states through the criminally induced pensions they granted themselves. The change slogan does not mean that they have to change their looting ways. Some of them are even looting at the National Assembly as senators. What kind of stupid independence are we celebrating when criminals are ruling and asking us to believe in Nigeria.
Dogaro patched the budget and remains a good friend of the president who till date did not condemn the looting through the budget. So there was nothing the APC was willing to change. Saraki has uncountable criminal charges on his head and remains the senate president. You have to be mad to celebrate with these types of criminals when you should be in organised units asking them to vacate their seats or simply make the country ungovernable for them.
Invariably in all aspects of the Nigerian life, the status quo of corruption, ineptitude, political madness and haphazard socio-economic disorder remain the order of the day. For several months of the past 2 years, Nigerian was on auto-pilot as the incapacitated, mentally and physically unsuitable president continue to hinge to power at the detriment of the rest, more than 150 million mumus.
This is where Nigeria is, as a country, held to ransom by the elites who are stealing daily and misguiding the rest like mumus to a destination that is unknown.
In recent weeks, people who have raided and raped the country including one name Atiku are claiming to be apostles of restructure. It is obvious that some strategists sold him this concept as it was becoming popular in all political discussions, so he could use it as a platform to become the president of Nigeria. I curse the day a known criminal like Atiku becomes the president of Nigeria. The people who will make thay happen are cursed for lives, and they will suffer for it like we are all suffering for the PDP APC era.
If there is one way forward for Nigeria, it is the counting of criminals and their removal from all facets of the Nigerian life. But this is tough as criminality and corruption have become embedded in the souls of many.
Restruture is even become obsolete and almost dead before arrival.
The nations within Nigeria now want out. But it is not as if these nations will be ruled by saints. What if the criminals in government today eventually become the criminals in the various regions? Nigeria is not an ordinary country.
There is a curse hanging in the air on Nigeria.
The fact that the judiciary is not working is a very big mess for Nigeria. The politicians don’t resign out of shame and they always get away from being punished or their cases are postponed for life or simply thrown out. BUT WE KNOW THAT THEY ARE THIEVES AND CRIMINALS. THE LAWS AGAINST CORRUPTION IN NIGERIA ARE A BIG JOKE. THE LAW SYSTEM IS CRIPPLED!!!
I cannot finish my post today without talking about the optimists. There is a certain group of people in Nigeria, once they have figured out to make their own wealth from the system, then the country is fine and we should stop complaining. Crazy, selfish souls!
Government is there to ensure that there is fair, level field for everyone to reach their goals. In Nigeria, the level fields have been abolished and inequality is the norm. Education is almost abolished as the elites continue to send their children abroad. Health care is dead as even the president does not live in Nigeria because of ill-health. What then are we talking about and where do we want to start from?
Sometimes, some people are like, som what are the solutions? Really? Come back and ask me again the solution to problems when criminals are ruling in all the government houses across Nigeria. What a joke?
