My thoughts...

What is the problem my Nigeria?
Why are those that lead so without vision and cannot think?
A reputation that had been dented now is fast becoming irreversible
What are they doing to fix the problem… nothing?

Maybe we are too complacent
Maybe we are weak
Maybe we just do not have it in us to challenge authorities
…and demand for justice and fairness.

Where is our President?
What has rebranding achieved?
What are we doing to correct the negative views of the world against us?
Can we blame them for these views? I do not think so.

The very government that is supposed to protect and defend the nation
The same government is milking it empty and dry
A government that favours increment of 'wellbeing package' of its past presidents than the life of its citizens
A government cannot account for funds and deliberately go against its own constitution
A government that promises to deliver when they know that they will not

It is unfortunate that these things happen
I wish I have a solution to these problems…other than Hope.

very eloquently written. These are the questions going through the minds of most Nigerians. What will we do, collectively?

That is the question.

Joke of the Day

Living Will Last night, my wife and I were sitting in the living room and I said to her, “I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependant on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug.” She got up and unplugged the TV and threw out my beer. She’s such a bitch…

Does it matter

Does it matter that we're different ..of different background and culture Does matter that you are white Does it that I'm black Does it matter that you're taller or that you consider yourself finer Does it matter that you're richer Does it matter that you're poorer Does it matter? Does it make you feel good? Does it make you feel better I bet your blood is white too or maybe black I bet you have two hearts too..isn't it so? Does it matter that you're you And I'm me Can't we just be friends or at least tolerate each other See the sky...it's wide enough for all the birds the Maker created To fly without them getting in each others way See this world It's big enough... For you and me to do our things without hating on each other. Now i'm not saying you should like me but can't you just ignore me I'm not soliciting you love the world, but you don't have to hate it either
