After
13 years of abject poverty, inept and epileptic power supply, decline
in economy, high rate of siphoning and embezzling of public funds and a
myriads of others to mention, the government have the temerity to come
out to us with some false and fabricated speech that they have achieved
something, and are proud of it.
When our Universities are there, constantly striking like thunders, poor and woeful failure in SSCE exams, aggravated with poor facilities and unqualified teachers especially the north. I see no reason for the celebration of the 'democracy day' except may be they reframe it to 'developmental plan day'.
The power sector is the most woeful sector that kept many Nigerians wondering since the inception of democracy in Nigeria. The then president Olusegun Obasanjo told Nigerians to get rid of all their generator sets and within the shortest possible time, power shortage is going to be a story. But to the bewilderment of many Nigerians, we have not seen any glimpse of hope that showcase to us we're improving. Nigeria has now become the world wide business tycoon as far as Mikano, FG Wilson, and Lord Mart generators are concerned. These generator sets are found in the national assembly and virtually almost every established home occupied by government dignitries and panjandrums.
The issue of insecurity which emanates from ethno-religious crises, secterian crises as well as tribal crises is very appropos to mention. Many innocent lives have been persistently killed either directly or indirectly from such crises. Nigeria been known for it high tranquilty in the past is now in a pole position of entring the US terrorist list, this is very unfortunate.
People have called for dialogue which is aimed at peace keeping, but the government discard such claims and concentrate fully on other anonymous issues that are less important like ECOWAS and going to neighbouring african countries for peace keeping.
The same poor masses that came out under a very igneous hash weather to vote for them, starve themselves of food, and drink are now the people suffering severely for it.
Civil servants both in State and Federal are suffering tremendously due to lack of payment, despite their salary been meagre, yet it has not been paid to them on a consistent basis.
Permit me to include the NYSC corps in this article.
This are youths believed to be serving their fatherland and have taking oath to serve their country to the best of their abilities, hitherto, they were also not been paid their monthly meagre allowances. Is this how we are going to continue? when our law makers are the highest paid in the world, driving luxurious cars, buying facilities and investing enormously in foreign countries. Sorry is all i say for Nigeria.
Health is another sector that is in disarray. Going through our hospitals and mortuaries, you'll found people lying dead without any appropriate measures been taking. Doctors keeps on going on striker everynow and then leaving people idle. Many poor masses couldn't afford to go to the private hospitals been owned by our medical doctors due to high cost, they only resort to government depleted hospitals for treatment.
Since we're in demoracy, and everybody has the right to express his acrimony, its hightime the government come to the rescue of Nigerians by providing the following;
(1) Adequate and unepileptic power supply.
(2). Adequate Security at all levels in the country.
(3). Quality education needed for the production of good citizenry that would develop the country in the long run.
(4). Curb corruption and other malaprops acts.
(5). Increase the standard of living by providing quality transportation routes, agricultural practices, modern hospitals not to mention but a few.
(6). Provide employment opportunities with good remuneration.
