Everyone is looking out for his/her own interest. Every project is properly oiled to further that narrow personal interest. So, every dream ends up in smoke or appropriately in nighmarish afflictions. Lets face facts: deceit is in vougue. Our famous vision will become relevant when we can look ourselves in the face and tell bitter truths map out plans and courageously carry through these plans (a simple one is to make free and fair elections possible!). But for now, it is every one for him/herself so the thing is just not working!
Thanks for making the case against this vision propaganda!

We don't have a country yet - or a dead one for that matter.
Asphalt & Tar = no roads.
Oil in abundance = no electricity.
Streams & rivers = no tap water.
University graduates = no skills & no jobs.
Land + rain + sunshine = no food & no medicine.

People acting desparete and out of character in office, home, and community.
People being clever and stupid when put incharge of our resources.

Military killing their own people & taking their property and land.
Police all over the street intimidating their own people and taking bribe.


Governors banking workers wages for interest, and paying them at will.
Ministers looting the treasury blind and nothing to show for the budget year after year.

Presidents sleeping on the job & flirting with the cabals that put them in power.
Judges rendering bad judgements and twathing the truth.

This is the definition of dead Compared with our vision.
Eyes = cannot see.
Nose = cannot breath.
Mouth = cannot eat.........etc.

Compare this with our vision
