Why? For how long do we keep deceiving our selves in the name of one Nigeria? In a nation of over two hundred languages, a nation ruled by rapacious leaders. A country where every one who is given the opportunity uses it to oppress the others. Then why do we bear one Nigeria? I answer; we bear one Nigeria to explore, exploit and embezzle the nation’s wealth. So many so-called politicians have been able to come up with different terms, such as; go on with one Nigeria. I stand boldly, to let every one know it doesn’t work that way. We are in a nation where tribalism, fanaticism and nepotism are the order of the day. We choose to fight corruption, leaving the nation’s main problem aside. We come up with anti-corruption agencies like the ECNOMIC AND FINANCIAL CRIMES COMMISSION (EFCC), INDEPENDENT CORRUPT PRACTICES AND OTHER RELATED OFFENCES COMMISSION (ICPC) and host of others, all aimed at fighting what we feel is the nation’s greatest nightmare; corruption. This is nothing but beating around the bush. When a poor man commits a offence he Is called to order through hard labour and some times sentenced to death for some thing that doesn’t worth it. But for majority of our leaders, they are nothing but what I call legal criminals. In some higher institutions as evidently seen today, we have special bulletins which are used for nothing but to bring out faces of people who have committed one crime or the other. Crimes like dress code violations, phone theft, violation of matriculation oats, public assault e.t.c. However this is not the right way to address such issues. It could be solved amicably through the guidance and counseling unit in such institutions. Such welfare body is in the best position to address such issues arising from different causes like bad peer groups, poor parental up bringing and of cause psychological problems like kleptomaniac. It is erroneous to out rightly punish such person(s), without finding out the immediate cause. This is why such culprits, innocent victims and student alike directly or indirectly call this bulletin face book. These are nothing but babash, because it is only done at grass root level. However at the top, the case is different with bigger culprits. The nation rulers do what the feel like doing. They steal in millions and billions and get away with it, even though they are brought judgment. Yet they are rated high. They are given big names like rankashi-dede, onwa ne chiuwa and host of others. These are names we don’t even give the almighty creator, and yet they are given. They blow sirens, creating noise pollution and we cast our minds back, sirens were used when criminals are taken for prosecution. But today it is used by some bunch of respected thieves. In Nigeria today moving forward is almost impossible, though we are among the developing countries, but yet very far from development. As long as we keep encouraging bad conducts like black market and African time, we will remain stagnant because it stifles real growth and development. Such acts are nothing but illegal market and lazy man’s time, and we should walk towards eliminating them. We as Nigerians should endeavor to do away with corruption and face the reality of doing not just what we feel is right, but doing what we know is right. Let us unite and fish out those infiltrators and foreigners who do not want the nation progress. Foreigners, who are opportune to find them self in key positions and who have claimed to be Nigerians, as they spend time bringing in divide and rule tactics, there by causing destructions in various localities within the country. They do this to get patriotic citizens confused while they occupy key positions and make laws that suite their aim. So, let us rise in order to rectify and purify new ways of thoughts to make our great nation an epitome and envy to others. Let’s live as one true Nigeria.
