WHAT IS THERE TO ADMIRE?

One question lingered in my mind today as I go about my daily ups and downs; and that question was "What is there to admire" in our so called Nigeria.

Let's consider the state of our education. It is nothing to write home about. A beloved brother of mine wrote on his facebook page sometimes ago. He said "We cannot have an education system that is based on highest bidder and expect a united nation" (Nelson Olufemi Fajolu, Sept 4, 2012). He is right. Our education is saddening. A situation we have is such that university graduates cannot properly construct good grammar. I met an accountant who cannot balance simple accounts. What a shame!
Talking about the state of our politics, as I sat down to listen to the opening speeches of the Democratic National Convention, it dawn on me that we can never come near nonetheless come close to what America has achieved. I used to think that Nigerians are smart, but what is smartness if it cannot liberate you? What is the brouhaha about when we cannot stand up for our rights? Our politicians are daft individuals who want to "lead" a great nation. What an irony! A blind leading many blinds.
My people, I believe we have to wake up to our rights. Bob Marley said "Stand Up For Your Rights" Without resistance from the people, nothing will get done, No monument will get built, It will not be well with us, and the bleak future will become a reality. Let us stand up to those idiots who cannot even express themselves as we've seen in developed nations.

  2. It is worse that no projection can show what the next five years will be for the country. Numerous feet's deeper into the grave or a slight pull from the dungeon? What a failing nation!
