Omaks' Speakers Corner Series
Quote:
Today i start a new initiative with a bit of trepidation. I am aiming to kickstart a trend that may proof popular with fellow forumites on NVS, or fall flat on it's face. Pure and simple, i want to recreate a 'Speakers' Corner' through my blogs. (Posted Oct 5, 2008 at 11:11 AM)
Emotions Running Wild

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.
I keep asking myself all the time, why? Why do we have to tolerate all this nonsense from these morons called leaders? Basic welfare programmes are either none existent in our country or ineffective, but we are still tolerant of these bastards who can elope to foreign countries for medical treatment, foreign education e.t.c at the snap of a finger. Yet, we tolerate them.
The roads are so bad, ordinary people are dying incessantly on our death-traps called roads, yet we still tolerate them. There's no constant electricity for both personal and industrial use. Do we wonder why the price of goods and products are at an astronomical level? People are hungry in our country, Nigeria. Unemployment is increasing by the micro - minute, yet we tolerate these buffoons in political offices.
Okay, you are saying it's not the fault of ordinary Nigerians, but who's fault is it then? Many of these political rascals are in their present privileged positions because you and i failed to live up to our responsibilities. Yes, we have become docile in a country where, our leaders daily take us for granted. For example, our brothers, sisters, children and grandchildren are staying at home presently because the 'Yar 'A - d - Nothing' - led government is at daggers drawn with ASUU. Guess what though, this joke of a president finds it expedient to embark on a journey to Saudi Arabia, to do what? That's right, to go and Open a University in Saudi Arabia. (CLOSE Nigerian Universities. OPEN Saudi Arabian University - IRONY, RIGHT?). This, my people, is beyond believe. What is even appalling is that we are all quiet in the face of a travesty like this.
Democracy is a failure in Nigeria, simple as. What we have isn't democracy at all. We have no rights in Nigeria, and we lack the will to fight for what should justly belong to us.We daily pray to God to deliver us from this bondage we are in, but we have forgotten that 'God will only help us if we help ourselves'. We have created an enabling environment where these 'bad, bad leaders dem' thrive unfettered. They don't care about us the ordinary Nigerians, and they are self - assured that there's not a damned thing we can do about our plight.
That, my people is the summary of how i am feeling right now.

You're not alone in feeling this way about our nation Nigeria.....the situation right now is pathetic.....there's no week of good news...the bad has taken over...it's a very sad situation.
Those who know how to pray and fast have even added night vigil to it....the situation looks grim.
The only consolation i have is that, there's an expiry date to all this foolishness...and something extraordinary will happen to make it to come to past...meanwhile certain events and actions has to commence soonest.Posted Sep 27, 2009 at 08:23 PM by emj
