Coming back home yesterday after a very strenous and rainy afternoon, i was very tired with the too much work i had did during my most active working periods while i was trying to put things right.

It was a long walk down to my hotel where i had been lodged for the two-week period i'll be staying in a state called Asaba after i was hired to fly down on a united bound plane from Lagos to the Asaba local airport to do a job, hope you can remeber that article i wrote about myself there? Well, if you can't remeber it again, then feel free to refresh your mind with it in this link👉https://read.cash/@Sammy1/just-that-one-call-that-changed-my-life-01135bb6

From my experience yesterday even in other days, i'm begining to ask the question as to why the government would not always find It very rewarding to establishing a system that will restore hope, pride and put some smiles on her citizenry owning from the fact that they (the citizens) are the major tax contributors with which the proceeds that used to run the economy are mainly gotten from the taxes they (the government) collect from these teeming people who are at large aside the huge amount of monies that are realized from the sales of other mineral resources like the CRUDE OIL, NATURAL GAS, PALM OIL, COCOA and many more of them just to mention but a few. Now the question again is, why has the government at all levels of administartion not shown care to all her citizenry despite their undeniably huge amount of contributions economy wise? Does anyone have an answer to the above asked question? Pls tell us cos we are all ears to hear you out.

How disheartening this our system decay is.

It is no longer news of the system decay in all factions that make up the federal state called Nigeria. Going by the things we do come up with everyday, it is ever certain that there is just no room for any improvement so to say, what we rather get in reward are the willful and the impudence to put everyone in a pitiable and a dire situation that would rather undermine our chances of a future development, no wonder the fact that we have been relegated so much to the back door as a nation, an entity or even an individual to an extent that at the mention of that name NIGERIA, everyone would run in sixes and sevens just because they have the fear of being associated with people of such tribe but I promise, we are very much far better off than what the unfortunate Nigerian government of the past and present days have subjected us to.

Enough is Enough

That day is still very much present and alive in the minds of every average Nigerian. The Enough is enough movement and protest that was led by Mr Sowore who is a human right activist and the owner of the popular sahara reporters, a news paper magazine that is based in Nigeria and across some other African states like Ghana, the Ivory Coast and thier likes, started at a time when the situation of the country became so unbearable to an extent that even anyform of opposition was totally not tolorated in a self acclaimed democratic nation as Nigeria and with a resultant imprisonment of Mr sowore the human right activist on a multiple count charge of instigating the songs of war, treasonable felony and many more unwarranted, uncharacteristic and unreliable accusations without a fair hearing in the court. Ag! I can't believe i just made mention of the Nigerian judicial system.😕

The compromised Nigerian judicial system

The judiciary as its name implies, is the third most powerful arm of government if i'm correct and being a body that is entirely seperate from the other bodies of the executives who are of course a body that is charged with the responsibilities to execute the laws and enforce obedience on the part of its citizens and the legislators that are charged with the responsibilities of making such laws which they pass on to the executives to be accented to after the full interpretations of such laws have been met by the judiciary which inturn becames law as it has successfully passed through all these most powerful and important aspects and make ups of a democratic government.

Sadly though, these same situations of making the laws to its interpretations and finally to its permitions to become laws of the land have all been abused in Nigeria at all levels and especially on the part of the judiciary which is a body that is regarded as the "last hope of the common man", in a compromised judicial system that now but seeks to protect the due interest of those I call the most "powerful among mankind",- The rich and the fortunate few at the helm of affairs in a political dispensation of course.

How come has being the last hope of the common man now changed into something else that hardly would one get justice again for a right one owns over a percieved decayed system of maladministration, corruption, nepotisim and what have you? Oh! How sad that is from all reasonable perceptions.

However, if i may ask, what is the main use of a democratic government without a corresponding forms of opposition that are otherwise known as the watch dog? The situation in Nigeria is that of a different view, opnion and it's in a sharp contrast to the real ways a true and a real democracy that are being practiced by the most advanced first world nations of especially the Western Europe and North America where democracy is but seen as the government of the people, by the people and then, for the people, a true and undeniable strong definition of what democracy is and would continue to be even to times indefinite.

Inactive governance would pave the way for insecurity.

The situations of Nigeria is that of the inactiveness of the government of the day which has amounted to a handful of unwanted acts of other social and economic vices such as; "kidnappings, mimings, armed robbery situations, tribal clashes and the worst of them all- TERRORISM".

We have overtime being faced with these whole problems ever since time immemorial and even though it is a factual fact that other nations of the world too have their own problems that sometimes seem to fall in line with the ones mentioned here, the undeniable truth is that they are still very much on a low considering the sensible and responsive response and zero tolerance of such social and economic vices by the well organised governments of the day's efforts in tackling them and bringing them to their kneels and of course to its bearest minimal. How happy you would be seeing yourself exist from the other parts of the world where the government's cautiousness to tackling crimes and its related vices as much as making the needed provisions for her citizens is of a very high echelon of reasonableness. How comforting that is for you when you are from such countries.

I fear for the worst are yet to come.

Before now and in all situations, we as a people have always had our ways of living that seem more like a genrally accepted ways of doing things before and after the Europeans had left but with the current situation of things, that fact is begining to degenerate into something very unwanted hence you are Nigerian who yet enthrones breath in this current bad system of things and its awkardness.

Going back to the days when we did things as one and with a reasonable economy placed well within the due reach of everyone before the era of the "Class dimarcations" that are championed by selfishness and all manners of atrocities of what money can do, buy and give one a placement in the society became the order of the day-how foolish that notion was! Do we judge good men by the amount of money they possess or do we judge them by the amount of lives they've effected? That question remains a food for thought and a question we must individually ask ourselves in order to place ourselves judgement wise.

The poor situations of things as they were are seen within the nook and cranny of the economy coupled with the genrally hyper-inflationary cost of living amidst the dangers of feeling unprotected in a polity that cares not for human lives is annoying.

What about the issues arising from the non-investment in human capital development and build ups? They are very much on the alarming and the more the day breaks, the more problems we are faced with to the extent that hardly would a day break without an average Nigerian not being afraid of what unfortunate things life would present its ugly and unfriendly face with.

What about the issues resulting from insecurities due to the givernment's failure to establishing a real defencesive mechanisms and build a trust for its people on their part? The list will go on and on even forever without any head way.

Life has taken a twist and it's about time we realized that with all due respect to this unfortunate entity called our beloved country Nigeria. Saving this country is a matter of urgency that requires some help from only God knows where but hence we cannot run away from what an unfortunate bad leadership we've in the comtemporary Nigerian state, then permit me to say that we've all got a responsibility to fix these problems if we must continue to live free like the other advanced nations of Europe and America.

GOOD MORNING TO YOU ALL!
