- At a time when Nigeria is spending 96 % of its revenue to pay debt
- When resident doctors are threatening to go on strike and ordinary Nigerians are the ones that will pay the price.
- When millions of children are out of school
- When tens of millions of Nigerian youths are jobless
- When infrastructures are in a terrible state - hospitals, schools, colleges, airports, intra-city and inter-state roads
- When 100 of millions of Nigerians are hungry
- Our political class have decided to share over N63 billion as a severance package. This tells you the mindset of these people and where their hearts have been since they got to the office.
- This can only happen in a country where the electorates are powerless and voiceless.... This is what Nigerians have done to themselves....when we are tired we will stand up against recklessness, tyranny, and impunity.
I just came back from Nigeria . I traversed the length and breadth of the nation a bit in my three-week stay. Something is different about the country compared to when I visited last year.... The people are more desperate... Hunger has increased astronomically.... The gap between the haves and have-nots has further widened... You feel impunity in the air... You see police collecting bribes openly like we have not seen since the Shagari era in 1983... There are more law enforcement agents on the roads now, yet the crime rate has not abated... You see VIO , Road Safety, State Law enforcers, the Police, everywhere mounting illegal roadblocks... I heard things from those close to the seat of power about those who hold the reins of power, and I weep for Nigeria - it is beyond disheartening... Projects are being abandoned because a significant portion has been given as bribes to government officials like governors and ministers, including major monarchs - they all collect money for projects...
