Jonathan is urging Nigerians to be bear the pain! Isn't that what we've been doing for a long time now? It is not news....we just bear and bear! we don't ever seem tired...but truth is we are tiered...aren't you? me...i want better. So what is Goodluck telling us? what exactly does he mean? Anyway, like people will say He is trying....Lets give him a break okay oh! i hear.
He has promised power by 2015....we're already familiar with that but i am not sure if many people believe that....there is huge skepticism, you should see people's expression when they read headlines....people have grown tired and familiar with things. Too much talk but what ever happened to action? Many headlines are filled with "what Govt will do"...oh Pooh..lease, spare me all that formality, we want to hear what they have done.
From the one-term elongation proposal which some key drivers behind it have kept mum to the NJC drama which The AREWA CONSULTATIVE FORUM described as "KABU KABU DANCE" (Laughs) in the Judiciary. Some said Jonathan has gotten his hands dirty....okay oh...we hear, like that changes anything for the homeless man on the street. We have OBJ and IBB exchanging words...so what about it? and Goodluck says he won't pay Okonjo-Iweala in Dollars....how does that put food on anybody's table? We waist too much time in frivolous stuffs and serious not just the seat of power it is reflected in the lives of many Nigerians...how we just repeat the same stuffs over in meeting but the important things are swept under the carpet.
Sometimes, i wonder what is happening in this country, maybe i do not understand...but it is why many Nigerians will continually want out...we no fit to shout, those wey dey shout don even tire.
The last time it was reported that N308.13bn FG projects were uncompleted..... staggering and irritating! While some people keep smiling that it is okay.....the truth is, it is not okay. There are over 43 million jobless Nigerians....that alone does not make it okay! They say change begins with you but sincerely, how many people have eaten enough or have their basic need met before they will carry Nigerians on their head? People homeless, Parents battling to give their children education, clothe them and help them believe that dreams still do come true. Thank God, we have Tenacity! With people who have experienced the good things of life preaching patriotism, its understandable. We just make it look complicated....Nigerians are not complicated people, they just want results and that is what our leaders should focus on. we want proves...that things are working...they can eat as much as they can but let them work! All their speeches of goodwill in tabloids will not make the bad roads go away.....
I am trying to understand how things are done here......we just like to muddle things up, make it a big deal! All sorts of policies...like how many policies do you need to tar a road in your LG? Or how many policy do you need to help your next door neighbor? The rich will always continue to get richer while the rest will continue to run the rat race. The entertainment and Talent hunt industry thrives in Nigeria because that is the only pace you see things literally happening....when you are good...no prejudice. That is the place of Rag to Riches, the place an ordinary Nigerian can make believe..... Timi, Omawunmi, Sylvia Nduka, P-Square, Chydinmma, Inyanaya etc...all have this to say....
Many youths are beginning to look inward, you know after running around, being broke and unemployed, people start to think that white collar isn't it..... we have many issues..
1. Rising food cost
2. Pervasive poverty
3. Poor health and educational system
4. Dilapidated roads
5. One way economy
6. Infrastructural decay
7. Poor entrepreneurial developmentt initiative
8. Insecurity
9. Wrong Mindset about success
10.Low technological development and innovation
The list is endless and it goes on.....
While the rest of the world is striving to move forward, we in Nigeria are staggering with one step forward, five steps backward. People say, we are over expecting from Jonathan but wait....isn't that why he is president? That is the reason he is promising to fix power by 2015. We have to forget that the are human beings and have errors because for the most part, they have themselves to deal with, how many of them are thinking about you? That is why, in Nigeria, it is every man for himself, you are on your own and you just have to make things happen for yourself. You don't sit and wait for the government to make it happen because they are too busy doing everything else, You cannot waste time being bitter about what they did or did not because the point is, we are all selfish, you are better off saving your energy for your hustling than wondering why common sense is so scarce around here. It is your life and you are responsible! Right now, take the stats, how many Nigerians are at the airport going abroad now? how many have applied for Visas? or those through North Africa? And how many people wey see money, no go chop? so, the equation is balanced. I am just wondering what happened to that country! I have to ask because i am a Nigerian. But as they said during the campaign breathe of fresh air.... by 2015, we will know if things have actually changed!
