Nigeria: real drifty on streams of water

Imagine Nigeria, the biggest and most populous country in black Africa is drifting, it ought not to lack anything as a great nation. It has black gold in large quantity but cannot manage it properly to stay alive with the people. Way back in the 70’s and early 80’s the country was like a tree planted on the streams of water, that set of leaders had ruled and live well with the people. The turnover of the rich oil resources was evenly managed as civil servants too were paid wage allowances e.g. the popular Udoji awards in 1974/5 for them to smile home from the banks as at then. Moreover, there was massive production economy exist everywhere in the country. Those were the golden years of Nigeria per se, the later years became balderdash till now. Just imagine, it was regarded as a country which goes with the flow of petrodollars. Nowadays, what went wrong was the parade of stiff-necked and corrupt leaders including ordinary Nigerians reign without control. They sucked the nation treasury dry in the name of bogus contracts awards while some that abandoned including money laundering across the country by leaders. The energy that built the country has collapsed entirely. Therefore, crime upsurges like kidnapping and terrorist attacks are rampart, beyond this is politics being played now along ethnic lines, money and favoritism by leaders. If you don’t belong, there’s nothing for your syndrome is the order of the today, crazy! Little wonder, says a little bird, the stream of water that fed Nigeria is fading and fallen down. The fall is great that the top leadership is finding it difficult to stand up. The citizenry is poor and are starving. The people perhaps wait for God intervention as they’ve loose hope with the government. Slowly and surely, selection of new set of leadership is around the corner, when we reach the bridge, we cross. But the bottom-line is don’t accept bribe when voting. Vote out bad, bad leaders. Period.
