The quality of a life those not consist in the material possession someone has been able to acquire during his life-time. Living a life of impact means a lot than having houses in every major city around the globe and using the latest cars in town.
It is a pity that the priority of the younger generation has been corrupted and re-ordered and is heading towards the negative and destructive path. The once promising generation is fast disappearing from the list of relevance, the once zealous and determined have become lackadaisical and discouraged as events unfold each day. Their hearts have been corrupted and battered, they have been disappointed and betrayed times without numbers, but on this occasion, it’s as if the final punch has been released on their face as the once zealous has become so discouraged and have lost self belief.
Who should be blamed for such an unfortunate scene?
The society has become such that a shadow of what she should be- overwhelmed by corruption and selfishness and the name of our beloved nation has become the best friend of the mod and have become the laughing stock of many nations. The so-called giant of Africa has lost her pride, dignity and throne. Bombing and killing of the innocent all in the name of making our point has become a hobby. The creation of the Almighty has become nothing to us because of our personal and selfish motive. A country where the rich cares about nothing but how fast the account grows. The rich are becoming richer as the hand of the clock ticks while the poor are left at the mercy of an uncertain miracle.
Nigeria, a land filled with milk and honey has become her opposite. A land blessed by the Almighty with both human and natural resources in abundance but has been robbed by selfishness and corruption. The future of our nation has become so bleak, no thanks to our attitude and lack of patriotisms. We are all to blame, YES… we have all contributed to the state we are. I look around and see a group of betrayed and wounded younger generation who seek nothing but an opportunity to get to a leadership position and avenge… all they do is seek for an opportunity to exploit others to enrich their pockets as their ‘predecessors’ have taught them. What a legacy to leave behind by a bunch of selfish individuals called leaders. I look back to the days when our heroes and nationalist fought for the birth of a nation with potential and promise… what about those potentials and promises? A giant in words and no action to show, rich in human resources yet no result to support- just numbers without result, no impact. Our beloved leaders, what about the promises you made before your election- perhaps, just another script in action, just meant to be read? Tears unstoppable flow from my helpless eyes as I string these words together, what a state that we are- a toothless dog, the king of the jungle that has lost his kingdom and lost his grip, authority and has become nothing but a figure-head. When are we going to stop going back to the drawing board, for goodness sake, it’s computer age!! The minors are now dictating the pace of the game…what a pity state.
Arise O Compatriot! Let’s lift the name of our nation high. Let’s forgive the errors and childish disposition of our leaders, the ball is now in our court let’s make things right… they’ve disappointed us for too long and we can’t allow ourselves to continue to be victims of their inhumane actions. They won’t make our future for us, we’ve got the pen in our hands tore-write history and correct things. There might be no immediate financial reward but we’ve got our names to write on the stones of time just like our heroes did. We have a choice to make- go for the fame or the name, building a castle or a legacy? God Bless Nigeria!!!
