Animal kingdom?

Nigeria used to be a very promising country in Africa. The good old times when there was peace on the land, no Boko Haram, no history of indiscriminate kidnapping, when Fulani herdsmen don't use AK47 but controls there cattles with sticks, when the Arabian royal families receives medical treatment in UCH Ibadan. We had a promising health sector. Nigerian had the first television station in tropical Africa.

Shortly after oil was discovered in Nigeria, same was discovered in Dubai, look at where they are.
I don't like to agree to the fact that the colour of our brain is synonymous with the colour of our skin. But I think I'm left with no option.

During our primary school days, we are told that we are the leaders of tomorrow but the same caucus of bad leaders are that took the power from the British people are still leading us.

The fact remains that majority of us knows the right from the wrong but we are just too afraid to step forward to make the change. Even me myself that I'm writing this, I right what is right but I also know that I can't go near holding a political post in the coming future because I'm afraid of wasting my precious life.

Majority of the people that had good intentions of changing things for good in this country had their lifes cut short. Now tell me, who wants to Die young? My mum will never agree to such plan.

The persistent growth in the rate of corruption will continue to fetch us nothing but agony in the nation at large. The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer. Everybody now enters the public office majorly to fetch for their pockets alone.
Even if an individual wants to stand out, the pressure and demands from his family will leave him with no choice than to be corrupt.
The nation is so troubled to the extent that we don't even see the extremely abnormal things as abnormal, we are too busy to pay attentions.

Now what do we have today? Firstly it was snake that swallowed 36million naira now it's monkey 70million naira. Are we not ashamed of ourselves? More than 100million of tax payers money embezzled and you guys have no reasonable plot to cover up your dubious act than to start lying against defenseless animals. This is the height of how gullible we can be in this country of ours.
I think it's time the youths stand up and make a change because it is we, the youths that will suffer for the things done by this old papa's because they will soon carry their bag and go.
