Which way Nigeria?

My heart bleeds in pain and agony, I am so deeply hurt in my heart by the stories we hear each passing day in my country Nigeria and looking at the path my country Nigeria is heading to. I don't know how we got to this level of disarray, I don't know how we got to this level of suffering and smiling, I dont know how things fall apart this much.

Please forgive me this morning with the way I might be sounding considering the present state of my country Nigeria. I may run out of words to describe it right now, but please I urge you reading this article this day to see this article as the way my heart is for the present condition we have found our country Nigeria to be right now. My expression and my tone this morning is exactly the way I feel in my heart about my country Nigeria.

The rate at which my country Nigeria is heading to poverty, division and destruction is becoming very alarming, the country's economy is dwindling and melting so fast that if care is not taken we may be facing the worst level of poverty, hunger and starvation in the country. Nobody is thinking about what to do to remedy the negative effect of this present situation we have found ourselves.

To tell you the level of problem we are into at the moment in this country, for a common man to feed his family right now is a very difficult task as prices of things in the market like food items and other household use items in the market have sky rocketed to a level where the hands of the common man can not reach or afford any more.

The mineral resources God in his infinite mercy blessed the country with in abundance have been taken away from the reach of the common man, the price of kerosene, petrol, etc are on the high price rate, and it's so difficult for the common man to get hold of it due to its high cost, even the availability of the products for the public are not steadily available at all times.

The country's election is at the corner, the politicians and some elected people in government positions who supposed to use the money meant for the masses to develop the country so the common man can have access to food, good social and basic amenities, etc instead these politicians and elected people in government positions go about stealing from the public fund for their own selfish gains and purposes, money meant for the masses are stolen for political campaigns rallies and purchase of electoral party forms, you could see for yourself in the world International news and local news headlines of Nigeria the amount of money paid by these Nigerian politicians just to acquire nomination forms for electoral positions in their different political parties, while the entire academic body in the country Nigeria together with the lecturers and the government are in disagreements and misunderstanding with each other over unsettled debts, which has resulted to long strike action by the lecturers, none academic staffs which has affected the students and academic studies in the entire government higher institutions of the country till date.

The security situations of the country is out of control where several killer armed groups have emerged in recent times, killing and destroying lives and properties without remorse and yet the government of the day puts little or no effort to tackle this evil act perpetrated by these unscrupulous elements who do not have respect and value for human life.

Religious fanatics and extremists have emerged, taking laws in their hands by killing innocent people just because they aired their views, like the killing of Deborah at Sokoto state who was mobbed and killed just because she made a comment that didn't go well with these religious extremist some weeks ago, and up till now the government of the day have not done anything so serious to apprehend the perpetrators of this evil act in order to stop others from repeating such act in future.

Using government constituted institutions that checkmate crimes as a channel to witch hunt one another instead of the sole purpose of why it was created is a challenge we face every day in this country called Nigeria.

Nothing seems to work again in this country, everyday you wake up from sleep what comes to your doorstep is one bad news or another, there is no day that pass without receiving a bad and terrible news that will make you feel unhappy and sad.

Yet the people in authority are busy planning how they will use the youth, their ill gotten money to achieve their political ambitions. Some of the youths that are supposed to be the will-power of positive change have been bribed and lobbied with huge sums of money to campaign for these men that have no interest of the public at heart, these gullible youths go about causing problems and confusing some other people to believe in the dreams of these politicians that are coming out to take positions in the seat of government offices in the country, these youths directly sold their consciences and integrity just because of little money that were thrown at them.

The country is seriously in need of total change and if we continue to pretend that all is well, I bet you that some day soon, you will wake up to see that there was a country called Nigeria.

Let us start now that is morning to look for that black skin goat because once night comes, it will be too late and too difficult to find the black skin goat because of the colour.

I love my country so much but if separation will be the end to this misery we are faced with, I would wish for the best.

Thanks and remain blessed. Rafd9828 loves you!
