I’m awake by 8AM typing this. I just woke up angry again for no reason and now I understand why. It’s this country, so many things are wrong it’s just terrible. 1. Government : We’re living in a country where our leaders are operating like the country is a family business. There’s no single empathy and concern for the citizens. We’re in a country where governor’s are more interested in pleasing the president than anything else, I have no issues with governors seeing off a president at the airport, but then taking another plane to go to london so you can welcome him to london again just makes no sense. 2. Security : The kind of atrocities happening in Nigeria, if it was in another country, they’d be a state of emergency right now. And it doesn’t look like any of the leaders are bothered. You can hear the news that 30 people were killed in a stare today, and you’ll just go on to play football 30 minutes later, because you’re getting used to it. It’s no longer a breaking news, it’s just another unfortunate news. 3. Money : I know the country is poor but the money worshiping is just too much, physically and virtually. You can post being suicidal and someone will still beg you for money in the comments. On the street, in your house, service providers, everywhere. It’s tiring. 4. Unity : No single unity as a nation, I’ve never seen a group of people so easy to divide in my life.. Even when united, we’re still divided. 5. No focus: We cannot decide on a goal and focus on it, our attention span is just too short to achieve something meaningful as a group. We’re always happy to use the act of the few to represent the whole. 6. Adaptations : This is one of our worst traits, the ability to just adapt to terrible situations, any small thing, instead of fixing the problem, we’re already looking for the alternative. What do you mean by I should change tomatoes with cucumber??? This is why all of us are short because there’s no nutrient in our body. No light? Use gen. No fuel? Use solar. No safety of life? Please what should we use? 7. Education : The absolute disregard for any sort of education. We do not have enough positive examples of the result of education, or perhaps we just refuse to see it. It’s terrible. Like everyday, education loses its relevance…… Whyyyyyy???? 8. No regard for human life : This is so crazy that it’s now a defence mechanism, you could see someone dying by the road side and everyone will just keep walking away, some don’t care and a lot are scared of being accused of causing harm to the victim. If you have an accident, the first set of first responders are busy trying to steal from you. It’s crazy. How long will it take to get the ambulance here? I’m sure you know the answer. 9. No regard or safety for women and children : Child marriage today, domestic violence tomorrow and it’s just not looking like it’ll stop soon. 10. No attention to detail : People are just used to doing terrible works now, it’s sad, from handiwork to professional workings, people just do the average and expect you to accept it, as long as it works. No arrangement, no process, nothing. You can take your laptop for repairs and when you get it back, two screws could be missing. I mean it’s well covered and all and now working, but why’s the screws not complete anymore????? Why??? let them fix tiles for your house and see how it’s just not aligned.
