As the political Titans struggles for ownership/ leadership of our country Nigeria, the road to a better Nigeria get deeply clouded with uncertainties, emanating from all cardinals of the length and breath of our nation Nigeria…
The wind of change, no longer seen as a route to possible achievements of a better tomorrow, rather, a war for selfish contents…
The stronghold of corruption on our society, had led to the ingestion of confusions in the mind of Nigerians, as they tend to loss focus and directions…
Could this be the reasons corruption had strived, comfortably within the Nigerian system? Not just the government but also among Nigerians from all works of life.
Little is it said that “habits are hard to conquer”
A smoker is addicted to smoking irrespective of what is writen boldly on the packs and it’s health danger….
A drunker would always have extra cups, irrespective of the fact that he woke up, to find himself in the gutter, a result of previous stupor…
A lying man would always look for ways to cover the truth even when caught with hands full of oil from the soup pot…
All this and many more are addictions that takes divine interventions to over come…
Many Nigerians are addicted to hearing the bad headlines of peoples failure, but, not interested in the credit of their successes.
Many are rather addicted to frustrating peoples efforts to gain themselves entrance into positions where they can practice the root addict in them which is corruption…
It’s becoming irritating the way we paint our nation for the world to see, as seen in our gullibility and insufficient dignitarium in the way and manners we take politics…
Politics now seem to be more or less personal interest excluding the collective purpose of the people. Politicians ridiculed in gullibility and the horror in this, is a twist of clear light into darkness, while multitudes rejoice, at same time making fun and funds out of complicity….
“There’s an extent you can push a Lion, hence you turn it’s meal”…
Corruption is like a lion hovering in our nation Nigeria… If you caution wrongly that lion (Corruption) without properly fencing and providing channels to reinforce, then, be sure to receive multiple bites from such wounded lions (Corruption).
This is relatively what is seen, facing Buhari’s administration today.
A point at which his determinations and will, never to bend to several quest for selfish and individual interest, and not keeping this elements at their rightful dispositions, giving them an escape routes, down into the forest to collide with their rot grand leaders with the aim of regaining their lost territory, their acclaimed inherited oil wells and sharing within, the national cake…
It is no doubt a clear evidence that corruption remain the course of what we face today as a nation, be it by clamour of marginalization from the South east to the killings happening around the country, perceived to be sponsored by some politicians hunting desperately for power…
Every sensible Nigerian knew, from unset, that Buhari would be facing lots, if he sole faithfully decide to fight corruption.
Corruption as an addict, can not be easily stopped because, it’s immune to the blood streams and would take vigorous efforts to flush away amidst odds…
The colonies of corrupt grand kings have gathered once again to finish what they started over sixteen (16) years ago…
We see with them this time, each, with four (4) straws as against the two (2) previous straws they used in sucking Nigeria dry…
How painful is it, to see supposed ever ready and smart Nigerians unable to see this build up as a step to cementing the unjustified strategic killings, a “Chandum” ( the more you look the less you see) to deviate Nigerians from seeing the efforts of this present administration…
In my silence, I wonder most times why Nigerians should think Mr President Buhari is comfortable with the killings of his citizens under him knowing fully well it’s negative effects on his come back, come 2019…
Well, fake news are believed, trends and welcomed mainly to the oppositions. However, when such fake news floats on media, am forced to ask, could people truly believe this??? What kind of mind would fall cheaply for such empty PROPAGANDA ?….
Irrespective of the fact that the opposition has seized the killings as a media tools, to divert Nigerians attentions, so many Nigerians had looked beyond it to also credit the efforts of Buhari’s administration compared to past administrations…
I see the defections as selfish and am sure they can only defect with few members. However, among them, on that election day, will for sure have a rethink and probably vote Buhari (APC) …
For many Nigerians, it’s better they see the eight years of APC’S administrations than get back into the hands of the PDP that in sixteen (16) years had nothing of sustainable and valuable finished ventures that guaranteed the boast of our economy, rather, sapped dry our economy and also reduced our international values and reputations all in the name of corruption…..
Nigerians be wise, look and see beyond the ordinary. Put not in mind PROPAGANDA that are cheap, misleading and meaningless as that is a Trade Mark of the opposition Party, the PDP…
