Our Nigerian vehicle has come a long way carrying with it only debris and substances which are very harmful to the growth and the overall well being of the nation. This self acclaimed giant of Africa got her independence on the 1st day of October 1960 and subsequently became a republic in 1963. Since after our independence what has follow or what has been following Nigeria up is backwardness,the country I would say is cursed by evil men in powers,these men are all self centered,all they people who had led or ruled this country starting from the time of Nnamdi Azikiwe were all greedy now even the ones who are governing now makes those who led before them look like saints. Now the whites in the persons of the great Britain should have refused this evil country independence until a later stage probably in the year 2000 to allow the whites fix up the country before leaving for good. I still watch videos of how happy our forefathers who fought for independence were happy on the television after the independence they craved for was given to them,if only they knew what they were embarking on,I doubt if they would have made such move.
During the time the whites were leading starting with lord frederick lugard whom the british used to to bring into existence this contraption called Nigeria.Nigeria then was on its way to attaining greatness until our forefathers who were supposed to be at their farms making their people proud by cultivating yams,cassava and other food stuffs that they were known to be into back in those days but no ,they decided to pursue the white man out from their country saying that the whitemen didn't known how to govern or how to lead. Even after so of our elites in the persons of Herbert maculy, Nnamdi Azikiwe who had their education abroad and saw with their two eyes how the whitman land looked insisted on them leaving Nigeria. After the whitemen left how far have they gone with good governance,rather what we have down here is a retrogressive government,one front and 10 steps back. Though after the whitemen left, Nigeria leaders as at that time immediately qued into the system of government by the white and they archived a lot of things before the finding of oil in the niger delta area. During the time where were based on palm oil, everything was working fine,until the discovery of crude oil.this was where the whole problem started,our African leaders became so overwhelmed by the revenue they were making from the crude oil and as a result the started to loot the country as the money they government was making from abundant natural resource was more than they could control. Few months ago one of the past leaders of the Nigerian government who had always been seen as a saint by all and sundry was even exposed by a British law maker who accused him of starching so much money in their banks.Someone whom we have always seen as a saint ooo.they way these people steal most makes me pity for a common criminal in the streets. Now Nigeria is a third world country but the kind of luxuries life her leaders live at the expanse of the masses is alarming. Just after the independence,those in power then used to move in a convoy of about 5 cars but today a governor recently went to a function with forty five cars in his entourage,just imagine and it's just an ordinary governor not a head of states. Indeed evil has eaten so deep that the managing director of petroleum,the ministry being headed by the president himself came out and said that over hundred and eighty million naira was spent in buying just ink and marker. Do these people have shame at all?,as if that one was not enough the following week the ministry of sports said it would need the sum of hundred and eighty million again inorder to clear the grasses at Abuja stadium.Something that can easily be done with only three hundred thousand naira. Now as a nation where are we headed. We ve heard in the past how snake swallowed over thirty million naira in jamb office and equally heard about how monkey stole fifty million naira,it sounds funny but it is not a joke . If the whites had stayed longer enough I believe we must have crossed this area and mess we are in now!.
