Detonating
from the grandiloquence of my academic reservoir, where i became lachrymose in
my explicandum,explication and elucidation of the debilitating and oscillating
economic Situation of my dear country. I
am happy to use this opportunity to express my bitter experience and
hardship that is now a cankerworm in Buhari’s
Nigeria. It is no more news that
Nigeria's Mario or struggling
economy is finally and technically in recession as opines by minister of finance. The Nigerian economy
just now is on the verge of epilepsy which has put the Nigerian citizen in what
I called *Happy-Go-Lucky* and in a desultory attitude.
Nigeria as a consuming nation rather
than a producing nation is not only alarming but also uncalled for , that a
third world nation like Nigeria prefer consumption to production which has
caused more injury on her economy in the past and in years to come if care is
not taken. I think at this juncture the president or the federal government
just now needs to be economically indigenous with the aims of promoting
Nigerian made product rather than the other way round "Exempli
Gratia" the importation of toothpick up till now, is it that we don’t have
the natural or artificial ingredient/atonement to produce it or what? That’s the case and outcome for a nation who
prefer consumption to production, a nation that find it difficult to increase
his level of production ahead of consumption will definitely have problems in
the nearest future. My pity does not only go to the average man on the street
that has to take home 18k minimum wage as salary or less but what the future
hold for Nigeria as a state but not yet a nation.
The current economic situation of
Nigeria has left her citizens in a desultory attitude to the extent at which
the hope and survival of the common man on the street is in a state of oblivion
while majority of our leaders live in peasanted luxury and propensity solitude.
The most Exasperating of all is the security issue that our leaders hold with
levity hand, like my usual saying *we voted for change, he got victory but what
we get in return, what we get in appreciation is the colossal, gargantuan and
humongous high cost of living which is radically and critically affecting the
Nigerian citizen to the extent at which some are now into one or two forms of
vices such as Kidnapping, armed robbery, terrorism which threatens the very
fabric of the nations economy.I think if
there is humongous high cost of living, at least the security and welfare of
the people should be a priority and subject
of importance as entrenched in the 1999 constitution section14(2B)
rather than taken it with levity hand.
I am using this media platform to
crave the APC- LED-ADMINISTRATION THAT FOLLOWING THEIR ANTECEDENT AND PEDIGREE
WE KNOW THEM, THEY SHOULD PROVE THEIR CHANGE
mantra and stop putting blames on the past administration because that
was the main reason why my fellow Nigerians opted for change in 2015. And also,
It is very sad to know about the recent *I DON’T CARE ATTITUDE COCOONED WITH
TRIBALISTIC MANIFESTATION THAT GREETED our Dear PRESIDENT* The president as a matter of fact needs to
educate its people on the importance of living together and understand the
beauty and implication of Esprit De Corps . the President just now needs to
show more than a Lethargic, more than a Complacent, more than a Passive
interest in ensuring the unification of its people otherwise
nepotism,tribalism,impunity,ethnicity would be the other of the day.
There
are circumstantial evidence on Tribalistic manifestation that greeted our Dear
President, a cornucopia evidence that suggest what was to be demonstrated by
our dear President
What
are the circumstantial evidence?
1.
A couple of weeks ago a 73 year old Christian grandmother was beheaded in Kano
because she asked some Muslims to stop washing their feet in front of her door
before their prayers.
2.
A few days later a female pastor of the redeemed church of God was hacked to
pieces by a mob of Muslims in the Kubwa district of Abuja simply for doing her
morning cry of evangelism and urging the people to give their lives to Christ.
3.
not too long after that two hundred Muslim youths burnt down a catholic church
claiming that they had no right to go to church on Friday because it was the
Muslim day of worship
4.
The Benue massacre orchestrated, animated and masterminded by the Fulani
Herdsmen.
Considering the
Aforementioned one can quickly say tribalism is on the rise because our
government appears to be encouraging it by allowing injustice to pass by
without doing the need be to put justice at the prevailing point. This is
sardonically lugubrious, exasperating, attenuating, disgusting, horrific and
unpleasant to the ears. Are southerners
and Christians not Nigerians as well? For how long will this racism go on? Does the principle of federal character still
in place?
THE
PRESIDENT AS A MATTER OF URGENCY AND EXIGENCY SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS *HORNET”S
NEST* BECAUSE THIS IS NOT THE CHANGE WE AGREED ON OR ARE U GUYS PLANNING TO
ISLAMISE NIGERIA……. THE LORD IS OUR STRENGHTH…….E GO BETTER MY PEOPLE……CHANGE
IS A GRADUAL PROCESS AS THEY SAY, LET SEE IF THEY HAVE THE ABRACADABRA TO
TRANSFORM AND TRANSMUTE OUR SORRY STATE... ALUTA CONTINUA, VICTORIA ASCERTA
(Struggle
Continue, Victory is Certain My People)
