WHAT NIGERIA DO WE WANT!?

WHAT NIGERIA DO WE WANT!?

Suddenly everyone is pointing accusing finger at INEC. The thing we always love to do. Yes, INEC has a blame. But INEC didn't burn its offices, did they?

So who burnt INEC office in Abia? Nigerians!
Who burnt INEC office in Plateau? Nigerians!
Who burnt INEC office in Anambra? Nigerians!

The way we destroy our facilities and blame government.

Every time, i hear people say, "God has been unkind to us by giving us bad leaders." Some would lament on social media saying, "I regret being a Nigerian."

Nigerian leaders didn't grow from the trees; they aren't Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs). They were born and grew up in our families, neighbourhood and society. They are products of our society and as such they are a reflection of what and who we are.

Corruption is not perpetuated by one person. Corruption occurs largely between a giver and a taker. Who gives and collect bribes in public institutions? You and I! Who is that petrol attendant that tampered with petrol dispenser metres and shortchange customers? You and I. Who sits on contract files and create bottlenecks in public institutions? You and I Who horde fuels and create artificial scarcity? You and I! Who import prohibited goods and services across borders? You and I! Who are used as political thugs? You and I! Our misbehaviours are endless.

How then do we expect Nigeria to develop? How do expect a Nigeria of our dream if misbehaviours that are inimical to economic and national development are legion with us? Few months ago i saw an harsh tag, "#BringBackOurCorruption." I was shocked and speechless. Any nation of people which sows corruption reaps corruption - backwardness and underdevelopment. This has been the story and outcome of Nigeria till this day!

INEC postponement of elections is just one part of the elections problems. Those Nigerians who burnt down its offices in Plateau, Abia and Anambra. INEC is as guilty as those who has been spreading fake news and in the process heating up the polity unnecessarily, those threatening to go to war and those who want to put people in bodybags are as guilty as INEC. These are all Nigerians!

Are you not worried about our pretences? Religious people everywhere but full of sins and misbehaviours. Churches and mosques everywhere but poverty and backwardness are their result. Of what value is religion if we live in sins, wickedness, poverty and backwardness? See Buddhist and Atheist countries like China, Singapore, Netherlands, etc. They know no Bible and Quran yet they are more Christlike and Mohammed-like than Nigeria, the country of Christianity and Islam, prophets, pastors and Imams. Christ and Muhammed will be ashamed of us wherever they are in heaven.

The Almighty God, the Creator of heaven and earth, has been so kind to us as a people and a nation. Hardly is there a country so blessed as Nigeria. HE gave us everything that we required to build a great nation. But we are our own failure and underdevelopment.

Today, God has yet again given us a reason for sober reflection by the postponement of the general elections by one week. Instead of ventilating and sharing your sadness and disappointment on social media, i enjoin all of you who deeply and genuinely love this country to reflect on this: What kind of country do you want?

if we desire a great country, we must behave a great people. Only great people make a great nation. Corrupt, unpatriotic, indisciplined, lying people and other negative vices do not make a great country.

Reflect on these and vote for a candidate of high integrity, moral and honesty.

God bless Nigeria!

We like good economy. We want steady and constant power supply...

This is copied from "FRIENDS IKOYI CLUB 1938" Forum, posted by Mrs Adenike Marinho, a Medical Doctor.
Unfortunately, it has no name to it but I am sharing it because the author spoke my mind.

"The world is  laughing at us.
We like good economy. 
We want steady and constant power supply,  we want jobs,  we want food on our table, we desire good infrastructure and security but at the same time could not exercise patience for a willing government that is sincerely laying the foundation for all these to happen.

They brainwashed you with "hunger in the land" slogan. They said 20million Nigerians lost jobs.  Majority of those people who they said lost their jobs were construction company workers whose contract monies were diverted and could not continue as at the time PMB took over.

With resumption of roads construction,  rail construction,  2nd Niger Bridge, why are they not sincere to tell us how many Nigerians have been engaged?

They tell us bankers lost their jobs,  who liquidated those banks? 
Did PMB or Osinbajo take loan from these banks? 
Who killed Cooperative bank?,  who killed Societè Generale?
Who killed Enterprise bank?
Who killed Intercontinental?
Who killed Skye bank?

Some of them took loans ranging from 10billion and above and refused to pay back. 
The banks fold up and you hear them shamelessly saying Buhari made Nigerians lose their jobs. 
Since inception Buhari didn't sack anybody. In fact he employed more graduates and junior level officers into the civil/public service. 
He didn't owe salary.  By 28 of every month all federal workers receive salaries.  Because you are not well informed you sink their lies.
They say Buhari plan to Islamize Nigeria.  How possible?  Even Military government cannot dare it. Nigeria is a secular State They use our Christian leaders to brainwash us because we have no sense of history. 
In 1999-2001 you recall the religious riot in kaduna.  I was in Kaduna then,  many Christians were massacred.  Obj was president then.

Between 2000-2007 you recall the Fulani herders -farmers/locals crises in plateau State that led to declaration of state of emergency in plateau State.  Who was president then?  Obj and not PMB.
Do you know that in Benue State farmer -fulani herdsmen had been at each other's throat since the military era? 

These kind of unhealthy political intrigues can only thrive in Nigeria where people have no sense of history.
*Those who plunged us into the den of hunger,  job loss,  darkness,  decay infrastructure,  insecurity and poor education are posing as messiah. They killed our university system for their own to thrive.  It is only in Nigeria where a sitting president and his vice would approve for themselves, while in office, the licence to build universities.*

It is only in Nigeria where a president would abandon construction of National library and build multi billion naira presidential library in his hilltop mansion and the youths whose future is mortgaged will be clapping for them.

*Resources that are meant for all were carted away yet you are here crucifying a man that is 'righting the wrongs' haba!*
