I thought of the appropriate way to put my feelings at present, but the most practicable of all my consideration is to post them here.

Okay, what's on my mind? It's this mad country called Nigeria, that's what's on my mind. Yes, not the average Nigerian people, but the high and mighty Nigerian elite. The corrupt politicians, the inept people managing our national affairs.
