Nigeria, the giant of Africa is now in a state of comatose wherein if something is not hastily done, we would wake up one morning only to mourn the death of our country and then the labours of our heroes past would then be in vain. GOD FORBID..............
Nigeria and Nigerians are like the content and the container.
The pride, worth and greatness of any container lies in the content it carries, that same way, the pride, worth and greatness of Nigeria lies within individual Nigerians.
That Nigeria is in a state of disarray, corruption e.t.c stems down to the sole truth that Nigerians made it so. Nigeria cannot make itself as it is a lifeless body with Nigerians being its life blood and when the lifeblood is bad then the body becomes sick and bad.
The crime and corruption Nigeria is being known for is caused by Nigerians.The littering of the streets with refuse, the damaging of public infrastructures, the vandalization of public property, the stealing of ballot boxes and the rigging of elections, the taking and giving of bribes e.t.c are all been done by Nigerians.
The leaders have their own fair share of the blame and the followers have theirs also, we all have to wake up to the truth that the leaders are not the only people to be blamed because we are all Nigerians and our actions directly or indirectly have contributed to the present state of Nigeria. We say that the top politicians rig elections and steal ballot boxes but in the real sense they use me and you the followers to carry out the wicked and evil scheme. We complain of our leaders stealing the countries money but the little they have done, how have me and you protected it.
There is one thing, to accept that one has a problem and only them can he/she look for solution, Nigerians and not Nigeria are sick and the earlier we accept our past mistakes and live up to our different responsibilities bearing in mind that a tree cannot make a forest. The leaders only cannot make up Nigeria, they make up some fraction and the followers make up the other fraction so, when each fraction and individual contribute their own quota of greatness, only then can we see the much awaited change take place.
Let's all stop the blaming game and take the bull by the horn, face the reality on ground which is that Nigerians have gone down the Corruption Drain and only then can we see the reason for each and everyone of us to make a U- TURN and Change for the better only then can we see a better Nigeria..
LET EACH AND EVERYONE OF US CONTRIBUTE OUR OWN QUOTA, STOP BLAMING EACH OTHER ONLY THEN CAN WE BUILD A GREAT NIGERIA........
