We also took Olusegun Obasanjo and mistook him for Nelson Mandela, hoping that after the jail sentence he was going to reform the country as Mandela did base on jail hardship, but Noooo, we're still in the same category as other laboring African countries, even worse, and yet artists keep making it by singing in names of other politicians/presidents and dignitaries outside the country that has made impact in their own various countries, good example is when Mandela died, even Harrysong was officially recognized thru out the world by the song "Mandela".

Please tell me, are we going forward or are we still?? Left to me, I would decide to "steam it" and live my life, at least, this country has been the same b4 even my generations came into existence...

My country Nigeria is the only country where we pay for things not to be done, u need examples?? Good, I've got several...

  • An average man will pay his electricity bill on or before the end of the month after complaining of no salary payment and still not get the light.

  • after working all your life out for a job u paid and registered for with an agent, it's either u still get sacked for no good reason or they owe u for months.

  • After graduating from school with a first class or even a two one, u pay to register for NYSC, when u start service, it's either they owe u allowance for months or they don't pay your entitlement even after u have finished service, Like the outgoing batch B stream 1 set 2017, still yet to receive payment till date and they're passing out tomorrow, 2nd of November 2017.

  • You pay for a surgery with almost all your life savings and still die for.... probably lack of enough equipment.

Still, my country is one of the best countries in the world as we do not experience any natural disasters.

Abeg Na who disaster help, if worse comes to worse, we go still endure am, at least that's one of the best things Nigerians know how to do, "suffering and smiling".

With this, I know someone somewhere is smiling. I rest the write and not the pen.
