Am I the only one in this country who’s fed up with what’s happening? Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screening bloody murder. We’ve got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we’ve got corporate gangsters stealing us blind. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say,” I don’t give a damn.”
I don’t give a damn? You’ve got to be kidding. You might think I’m getting senile, maybe I am. But someone has to speak up. I hardly recognize this country anymore. The boko haram crisis in the north, the oil subsidy thieves, the stock exchange crisis, Farouk Lawan and Otedola bribery scandal and nobody is asking questions, they tend to have a script they are working with, and we Nigerians are acting in this movie innocently. From one Act and scenes to another, they stage various issues and everything is not attended to, nobody seems to know what to do. And the press is waving pom-poms instead of asking questions. That’s not the promise of Nigeria the founding fathers thought about. I’ve had enough. How about you?
I’ll go a step further. You can’t call yourself a patriot if you’re not outraged. This is a fight I’m ready and willing to have. My friends keep wondering why I still have believed in this country. I have believe because, if we youths can leave our iPods, blackberry and iPads for a while and give attention to solve the economic problems that we have, this country will change for the best. We as young people need to stand up to this fight. We’ve got to fight it, face it, and finish it, or else we will be crushed totally by these corporate thieves who don’t have our interest at heart. Hey, Nigerians, wake up. These guys work for us.
