As I am learning to stop complaining and
get used to the electricity situation in my
beloved Nigeria, i can't help but worry
about other bigger problems facing my
country at large. Once again a land
already polluted with blood and oil is
reported to be witnessing beheadings by
religious fanatics, murders by herdsmen,
and bombing of oil pipelines by a
supposedly impoverished and
marginalised deltan posse, let's not talk
about the Biafran agitators, kidnapping
and robberies....confusion everywhere.
I am an entertainer so i try to leave politics for
politicians(cos i believe everybody should
maintain dia own lane). However, I cant seem
to understand why my beloved country will not
intervene to help alleviate the sufferings and
helplessness of its people. When the poor cry
for help and are ignored, it can be a recipe for
turmoil and when the rich also cry, can't afford
to travel because flight tickets are out of their
reach, can't afford to eat as they used to and
all channels of their lush incomes are closed
overnight, then you begin to sense a whiff of
desperation.
The media also reports bias in the security
handling of issues as it affects the North, West,
East and South. In my humble opinion, i do not
think it will hurt PMB to address this issues
from time to time as much as he addresses the
issue of corruption. It hurts my senses when i
hear people praising the likes of Ayo Fayose or
calling for return of corruption (hard to tell if
they are serious or joking) hearing the soothing
voice of our leaders will go a long way in
strengthening is as we plunge further into the
unknown.
So in all of these, I am listening to hear the
wise words of President Buhari, I know he has
opinions about all these because i know he
reads the papers and he has access to security
reports, but sometimes it's like his media
advisers dont get his memo or they seem to get
it a week after he sends it and by which time
other depressing issues have taken over.
This government seem to have forgotten the
power of technology and social media in
today's dispensation and is failing to use the
various available platforms to monitor and
address issues weighing its citizens down.
@pmb,@jagaban,@yemiosinbajo@
shehusani@bukolasaraki,from councillors
through senators to the president, we are all
collectively responsible for what befalls our
country. We are the country. The rest na just
Land.
Please address every issue in a timely manner
so as to avoid coming across as being biased
to certain religious or ethnic sentiments.
