Every day we are faced with different challenges ravaging our dear nation such as insecurity, poor education, kidnapping, hunger, banditry, unemployment and abject poverty.
Yet, the most pathetic part of it all is that the elite are less concerned about the happenings because obviously it's directly affecting the masses and they fly in and out of the country at will and their kids are neither residing nor schooling here in the country.
You may ask what the politicians are doing about it. Well, all they care about is gaining more power and enriching themselves by embezzling public funds into their secrets accounts and acquiring properties around the world for themselves and their generation yet unborn when they masses are suffering under their noses.

There was a nation
I see no better future for my nation though we always comfort ourselves with the words
all will be well and Nigeria will be great again.
But in reality, I see more hardship and darkness coming for my dear nation because the same greedy old politicians who have been in power since we were yet to be born are still circulating themselves in power and grooming their children to continue from where they will stop.
Else, what can be said about a family whereby the father is a senator, the mother minister and the children are either commissioners or house of representatives members.
How can there be a better future for such a nation where any performing politician who has the masses at heart and is doing very well for his community is either eliminated or stripped off that office?
My heart bleeds for my nation
- This is a nation where the rich are getting richer while the poor are getting poorer. The elite mingle and marry their kinds and same goes with the poor.
- A poor man who stole a plate of food due to starvation is sentenced to death for stealing while a rich man who kills people and steal millions of dollars is being given presidential pardon.
- A community where people protesting and fighting for their rights are killed and termed public nuisance and threat for peace while elites who have recruited rogues to carry their evil acts are given high places in the society.
I weep for dear nation Nigeria.
