AS PRES. GOODLUCK JONATHAN SAYS GOODBYE

 

 

Again, corruption has plunged Nigerians into unprecedented sufferings in his last days and as usual our outgoing President was unable to be in control over institutions that are supposed to serve. This is not a sin to a Nigerian.

Nigerians are very forgiving, they don’t see all that, they are full of emotions of who’s leaving office and who is coming in.

They are more interested in events and their fellow sufferers

It is more about who hates Jonathan or who hates Buhari

We do not care, whether the administration performed of not?

We can argue in the darkness because there is no light and on empty stomachs because there is no food, but that is no longer new.

Every new government raises our hope so much just for the first few months until the same circle of leaders start to help themselves, families and friends.

Then we start moaning and kicking only on the internet.

See, we are a people that never learn

We have all adjusted to bad governance and to make us appear like we care
We make enemies among the common folks

Tomorrow is another day

We live one day at a time
We shall be busy struggling for the next day’s meal day after swearing in tomorrow
Too busy to watch when the looting begins
But we won’t easily forget who did not like our post while campaigned for our candidate

Some of us want to delude ourselves that we belong, because OUR MAN won

Yet together we will live in starvation and darkness when the looting is done

 Fela Kuti understood this a very long time ago

That Nigerians are in prison
And there are two kinds in Nigeria
The Inside prison and the Outside prison
The Nation continues in the prison of poor leadership.
Only that the people do not care about this anymore,
We think that religion and ethnicity will deliver us

So we put our blind faith on these two, while the circle continues
 All we need is change

And every change is a new day.
And the wrongs of the past are in the past 

When will Nigerians learn that accountability is very important?
When will the wounds of the past be addressed?
When will anyone go to prison for corruption?
Another set of politicians are ready to take positions
With a mindset of cutting their share
There is hope we all are saying, on the shoulders of one man
But if we don't make up our minds to end the corruption from our little corners
No change can change anything
