“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others”–Mahatma Ghandi.
It seems that our leaders will not rest until they completely bankrupt the country by their looting spree.
How many can you catch?
When the wealth of the billionaires and millionaires in politics are soaring, while millions are losing jobs or unemployed?
When a single politician can book all the hotels in a state for campaign purposes.
Politicians who think about money when their minds are in neutral, think about money within idle moments and think about money during busy moments .
Politicians who worship money. Who can kill because of money and power.
The principle of what you worship what you serve.How can they serve you? Whatever commands your attention becomes your God.
Therefore,it may be very difficult to find a very comfortable man or politician in our clime to put all his comfort aside and take
up the fight to save the nation.
I know that we still have the brand of citizens like Prof Dora Akunyili , who showed us that we can fix any system in this country if we are serious and unbiased.
She revamped the drug and food industry without playing ethnic politics.She went after fake drug dealers regardless of their tribe, their location or position in the society.
Unfortunately it is difficult to change the mindset of a political class who are so comfortable , to the extent that they see nothing wrong with their actions over the years.
How can leaders allow systemic attrocities by armed bandits to go on because of their ethnic group. It is absolutely indefensible.
These marauding bandit’s pose an existential threat and danger to our collective survival as a nation.
Such Frankenstein flames must be extinguished before it raises the whole nation down .
One of the tragic consequences of such attitude is that people may eventually venture to defend themselves in a manner shaped by their anger , based on civil disobedience.
When the nation is littered with almost violent beggars in virtually all state capitals.Who violently knock on car windows with desperation written all over their faces.
Stopping at the traffic lights becomes a problem when such firece looking beggars are on either side of the car , always peering in
The only thing that stops them from robbing car owners is broad daylight.
Truth is always a constant against lies.Our inability to accept our leadership shortcomings shall continue to mess the nation up.
Many people may try to hide the truth and defending lies about the state of the nation,but like a smoke , you cannot hide that forever.
How do you expect a richman, millionaire, billionaire to champion a cause against what he is guilty of.You want him to pour fuel on the fire that shall consume all his illegally acquired wealth.
Many of them have one corruption case or the other pending in various courts all over the land .Yet they are strutting the landscape freely.
We see many of them forfietting properties to the state and still contesting elections.
Such freedom can come only be available in our country. Therefore you don’t expect them to change the status quo.
