Kai! So many things to write about;None written yet! From the issues charging up the Nigerian polity;namely-fuel subsidy&the National Honours/Merit awards, to things happening in the world polity- now that’s a bummer! Where do I start?
As I write its past midnight in Naija,and of course most will wake up to the news of Demi&Ashton(I was sooo rooting for them! :’(). But really that’s not news enough for me.
What’s keeping me awake is plethora of issues in Naija! And the reality that seems to stare us in the face. The reality? That this country will cease to be a Nation by 2015. And by all indication we are working towards fulfilling this prophecy.
Nigeria is not yet at war;yet all the indices that a nation is at war is present! Labour is threatening;yet government spends N45m on adverts for the National Awards Recipient;Yet fuel subsidy is a waste of national resources… As in really?
There’s a sponsored advert on a tv station,showing dilapidated roads, bad schools,malnourished children etc and the advert claims all these are prevalent in Nigeria because Government subsidises fuel!!! Shaking my head in sorrow.
The Government may as well blame the security issues of Naija on fuel subsidy. Oh oh, ethnic&tribal disagreement… Its because government pays subsidy. And please don’t forget the fact that an average Nigerian lives below $1 per day. Of course it because FG pays subsidy on fuel. Oh I remember, the “artist” fund(that one they gave nollywood) its because Govt pays subsidy on fuel!
You can add the rest by yourself….
I’m awake now, masterminding how many kinds of “ending” I can give these “comedy of errors” and all ends or seem to end like Oedipus &Olawale ended…
I wander off to seek the rest I desperately need…
Ps :tribute to William Shakespeare@comedy of errors.
Love yourself;Love your neighbour;Love your Country;Above all Love God He’s the essence of your Being.
