As a Nigerian, I wonder a lot about the current fate and the future of this country. As I write this blog entry, I challenge anyone (including our folks in government) to come forward to mention any area of our national life that is in order.
The worrisome situation is that the folks in government does not seem to have a clue of what to do! I do not know if it is apt to compare President Obama with our President? I think it is appropriate and a comparison of apple with apple, at least both of them are humans with one head and two legs. I think President Obama achieved in his first three days in office more than the entire 2 years our President has been figuratively occupying that seat. I stand to be proved wrong. At least, I know that it took more than a year to have the new restructured cabinet in place.
I also wonder what the smart guys we have in the cabinet are doing? I know there are a couple of smart guys in the current team. My advice to some of them including my friends is that should this administration fail Nigerians (and it looks very likely they will), their names will be jointly written (in gold) on the Roll of Failure.
To date, I do not have a second citizenship. I therefore, setup this discourse forum to seek active discussions on what we, the followers can do rather than just watch and complain in vain. There are things we can do as we know that our destinies are in our hands and heavens help those who help themselves.
You're welcome.
Nigeria's problem is not that of lack of idea, it is more of irresponsibility and corruption by our leaders,if the trend does not change, i'm afraid we might be heading for doom(God forbid)
ReplyDeleteThe way forward is only through prayers, we need not loose faith. Its time to rise up and show the world why we are true Nigerians. Americans are proud of they are, so should we Nigerians. I'm proud to be a Nigerian Sir.
ReplyDeleteI am equally proud but our leaders are gradually eroding the pride by their lack of vision and gross misconduct.
ReplyDeleteI will like to dedicate this blog to coming up with ideas on what we can do as citizens to bring a change to our lives. Remember, 'situation' can change you if you do not change 'situation'
