Which country in the world today is run like Nigeria in all truth,
honesty, reality and ramifications? What benefits have ordinary
Nigerians received from this nation's oil wealth to date? How can you
be proud, dedicated or patriotic to a nation that has no plan for you
or her youths that face very high unemployment rates, hopelessness and
a bleak future? Which country in the world that has this type of
enormous oil wealth but decided to pay a poverty wage of $110 a month
as the national minimum wage to her workers and indirectly denied them
their basis lifenecessities?
Which country in the world today will close her human eyes to justice
or public accountability by allowing her own leaders to loot the
nation dry, then awarded them with her prestigious national awards or
state pardon and then allow these heavily corrupt public officials in
and outside the government to walk on their major streets freely and
to continue to enjoy their loot or the ill-gotten wealth? Which
country will officially pardon an international rogue like the former
governor of Bayelsa State Mr. Alamieyeseigha that is still wanted in
Britain and United States for money laundering? How can you be
nationalistic and patriotic to a country that allowed her religious
bigots and fanatics to commit genocides, murders, arsons and looting
all in the name of their religion and will never allow these
cold-blooded killers to face the weight of justice, denied the dead
and their families justice or any financial compensations for their
huge human and material losses?
Which country will allow a handful of her government officials to
steal the pension funds that are meant for her seniors or retirees who
had served Nigerian faithfully with their life and time, but are now
denied a decent retirement in their sunset years? Which country in the
whole world willblame the demons for her inability to provide the
citizens who are tax payers with electricity instead of arresting the
true culprit which is the official corruption and the mismanagement of
the Nigerian stateresources by her officials that made the provision
of electricity practically impossible in Nigeria today? Which country
in the world today will blame demons for her air disasters when
herairports are never maintained properly, modernized and her aviation
workers are incompetent?
Which nation in the world today will allow her national air carrier
(the Nigeria Airways) to become history due to the direct effects of
the decades of official corruption and mismanagement of the airline
funds by her top officials and then allow those corrupt officials to
get away with their corrupt practices? Which country in the world
today uses 30% of her federal budget to pay salaries and allowances
for her 17,500 public elected and appointed officials (0.01%of all
Nigerians) in the name of public service and then allow 80% of the
ordinary Nigerians to survive on abject poverty of about $1-$2 a day?
Which properly thinking Nigerians will be proud to live in a nation
that refuses to provide her citizens with their basic social services,
national infrastructures and human rights?
Which nation today will neglect her entire health care system to rot
but will use the state funds to fly her selected officials and their
family members to the best hospitals in Europe and North America when
they are sick? Which country that truly desires to develop will be
running a national educational system that is based on the 20th
century outdated programs in the 21st century world? Which country
will neglect her own citizens in the foreign nations of the world
where they live today when emergency evacuations are needed or their
Nigerian passports require to be renewed despite the presence of the
Nigerian foreign mission in those country? Which country today in the
world will spend 21% of her federal budget on her national security,
but she still fails to practically and truly protect the life and the
properties of her citizens or residents in all reality?
