NIGERIA AT 56 POLITICS OF BLOOD AND FLESH LESSONS TO LEARN

Nigeria is a country blessed with abundant natural resources enough to care for her citizens.

However what is happening in Nigeria today transcends partisan politics which should prompt we youths to be highly concerned due to how the affairs of this country is being managed.

Dabbling into the affairs of how Nigeria is being governed from democratic angle and waiving backward many years of interference and misrule by the military regimes which are greatly characterized by delinquency, corruption and lack of accountability which we are yet to recover from even with democracy in existence for the past 17 years.

The expectations of the citizens in whole for good governance were quite high when Nigeria returned to the democratic system of government in 1999.

And the chances of the first elected president in the fourth republic to revitalize the history of Nigeria were thrown into the ocean due to greed because he should have seen clearly that the 1999 constitution drafted creates avenue for corruption to thrives and allows lavish spending instead he looks another way and looking for a way to rule for three terms.

Looking at the past and present leadership personalities we have got since 1999 only one thing comes to mind Recycling of same old politicians since 1960 jumping from one party to another and inserting their children and family members at one point in time.

It is pertinent to know that since 1999 till date all the political office aspirant either consciously or sub consciously have a common objective and goal to achieve which is eating out of the national cake at the expense of the poor masses even those that goes in with a common senses have garnered uncommon senses within a short period of time.

The only time they fight themselves is when one of them felt shortchanged during the shares of the poor masses blood and flesh (common wealth).

Politicians perceived Nigeria common wealth as a forest where one goes into with baskets and various containers to gather wealth for themselves and immediate families living the poor masses to cry and gnash teeth while they make merriment.

This is a call to the youths of this country to have a rethink on how we want our present and future to be determined.

The change we craved for is in us
GOD BLESS US
