what a demoralized system, a system that has nothing to offer to the upcoming Generation, a system that will always be a treat to the to the citizen of the country and I asked, when is this going to end?will it continue forever?
when are we going to be free from this bondage?
when will our voices be heard?
when will our cry got to their ear?
when will peace be restored?
when will our hope come true?because all I could see is a blurred future.
I love my country Nigerian, it's a country blessed with all sorts of mineral resources , A land filled with milk and honey, but all turned to be bitterness. The government has failed the citizens. they have nothing to offer us rather than to suffer and wallow in pain.
Today Makes it a year that majority of our youth were killed at Lekki toll-gate in Lagos State just because we are fighting for freedom, they are tired of living in bondage , they tried to speak up but everything turns out to be a blood bath.
Peaceful innocent Protestants were massacred by it's own government just to silence them. is that how a leader should do?
Each moment I remember the massacre , I cannot help but to shed tears. it was indeed an unforgettable memory.
May the soul of all those who lost their life during that time rest in peace. They are indeed an hero who stood up to fight for the freedom of their country.
where is the hope?
This question keep on ringing in my head when, we have been hoping for a better Nigeria but the more we are waiting the more it's demoralizing . And adage in Youruba will say , Ogede n baje, a lo n pon.( A banana is getting spoilt and we said it's getting ripe) the issue about Nigeria is best described that way. when will their insight be opened to all these things happening. it's been long that we have been hoping for a better Nigeria , since when I was a kid, but instead of becoming better, reverse happens to be the case.
where is our hope? all i can see is nothing but a blinded hope, I could not see the possibility of a better Nigeria because we are being ruled my the same set of people, we are just revolving in a circle. and what did we expect from a circle?
we will only remain like a stagnant water that will be filled with different kind of impurities . and that's nothing but the facts.
Talking about bribery and corruption
while going through @Fexonice1 article, The Nigeria of my dream .He talked about the bribery and corruption In details. A country where the poor has nothing to say , a country where the just are being punished in place of the criminal.
Bribery and corruption has become the order of the day, A government that only think about how to fill their own pocket and leave the citizens with an empty pocket.
The slogan becomes... if you can't beat them , you join them.
is that how it should be? Then if everyone joins them , who will stand up to fight against it? No one, what a bleak! π₯π₯
Take a look at the black men with black a heart, walking in black street. They collect money with Forcefully from the citizens who are working hard to put food on their tables and I ask again, are these people not paid for the job they are doing ?
why will they be collecting money from citizens for no reason?
But the truth is that, they are being paid, but they will never be contented without the one they will take from the citizens secretly.
Talking about insecurity
One of the major duties of the government is to make sure the citizens are safe at all cost but Nigeria is the opposite.
they don't care if the citizens are safe or not, all they care about is their own safety and the safety of their families.
kidnapping And Killings become the order of the day and yet the government are doing nothing to curb it, what a failed system
we just have to be careful to secure ourselves from any harm , depending on the government is meaningless so to say.
Freedom of speech
Our voices are hidden, and when we try to speak up , they'll look for all means to silence us. where is the freedom?
we are not given freedom to express ourselves, are we slaves?
I could remember about the history I read , when padlock are being used to lock their mouths to prevent them from talking , so what the difference between slaves and the present situations we are now, any one who tries to talk will dance to their tune , imagine the Lekki massacre.
But the remains that, if the government failed us, we should not fail ourselves.
I pray for a change!
these are my sponsors , they have been so amazing and encouraging.
woooooot !!! woooooot, don't tell me to keep calm because it's my sponsor birthday, wish I could scatter the whole floor with dance πππ€£π€£

I think what we face in Nigeria with every citizen is believing too quickly in every person. this current government is the worst in Nigeria history. I do help for a break through.
The killing still makes me sad everytime and I pray for the strength of those who lost loved ones.
