We are not serious as a nation. Nigeria has become a joke to other nations. That's not surprising because we have become a joke to ourselves. We fight over needless issues while leaving the important issues unattended to. You would expect some level of seriousness from everyone seeing the hardships that plagued every corner of the nation but no, we attack each other over what doesn't put food on the table.

The government knows this and they easily create distraction for the citizens while they plot the next economic downturn. We are funny, lively, hardworking and happy citizens but certainly not the serious citizens that can take matters of economic improvement into their own hands.

Oh I weep...I weep for this country because you might keep thinking there is hope for Nigeria because certain things are still going well but imagine having a jar of oil that you keep taking from...even when the oil is so low or out, once you turn it upside, it can still give you a bit you need for the time being despite being so low.

Just when we are about fed up and planned on taking matters into our own hands by asking for accountability and voting right, have you ever wondered why distractions over baseless things happen right about the same time? It's all politics and this is why those in governance can never take us serious. They loot us and rub it on our faces because they know that before we think of seeking accountability, they know the next distractions to throw our way to knock us off our stride. Quite shameful.

We keep asking for help when in fact we are not helping ourselves. We keep hoping things will be better when we are not making the needed effort to put things right. We keep doing the same thing over and ove again yet expecting things to magically turn out great...is that not foolishness?

When will this madness end? When are we truly going to be free, both physically, socially, economically, financially, politically and mentally? Mental slavery is the worst and these set of leaders got us good!!!


Thank you for your time.
