PATIENCE IS RUNNING OUT 2

Extreme poverty in the midst of affluence would always produce conflict. An evaluative analysis has shown that the words of Karl Marx of old still persist today in our midst. He said there is a constant conflict between the bourgeoisie and proletariat i.e. the haves and the have-nots i.e. the rich and the poor. Sounded like a fallacious statement to some then but for those who accepted it, they would be sure of their thoughts right now on how far they can conceive ideas not yet reached and these things are evident to us living now.

SUBSIDY

We everyday see the minorities disagreeing over issues they think the majorities has cheated them with. Suburbs, trying to take over cities, tenants conflicting with landlords, the rich being kidnapped, corrupt individuals embezzling on constant basis, militants fighting against oppression and terrorist killing in the name of ........ e.t.c. These are just the way they can show their pains. Everyone wants to be better than the next person, so whichever way it comes they don’t care once I can show off to my neighbor I’m better off. 

EXPRESS ROAD

The poor conflicting with the rich is not much of a problem to me like the rich in all aspects of life suppressing the poor not to rise? In Nigeria, a country richly blessed with abundance of oil, richness in agriculture, good weather condition and good brains e.t.c. one would now ask why would God give us all these resources and   also give us bad leaders. Our government i.e. the rich in our society have tried in their possible best to make life unbearable for the poor and here they come. Let us compare the following living conditions and we would see the irregularities in the things that are supposed to be regular.

THE STATE OF OUR NATION

Imagine some don’t have clean water to drink while some use bore hole water to wash their cars, while some don’t have transport fare some roll in convoy, while some can’t find a place to lay their heads others build bungalows for dogs, while some are looking for food to eat we most organize buffet and at the end wasting these foods, while some don’t have clothes to wear others fill their wardrobes with what they will never wear. In all these aspects of life we might at one time or the other found ourselves wanting or otherwise. Nigeria is the only country in the world that is fighting unemployment by extorting the unemployed to pay the little they are going to employ. A country where 7 billion naira is spent to discuss what the causes of our problems are. How much will it cost to solve them?

CANT WE ACHIEVE THIS?

The affluent Nigerians have made life unbearable for the poor. They are not aware of the poor around them like the rich man and Lazarus in the bible. Look around you for a moment and see how many people are suffering or rather don’t have what you have in excess, look at how many people are homeless, look at how many people are hungry and thirsty, look at how many people are naked, how many young kids are unable to afford education. How many are dropping out of school because of the state of our education. How many half baked graduates we produce every year (as if they baked themselves) sincerely the leaders of this country are running out of our patience and it would be worse for them than us. We will do whatever possible to get the bellow of success blow again in Nigeria. Enough of the failures

I call on the generous Nigerian youth; who has persevered in pains orchestrated by our failed leaders, who have been a victim of one of the several killings caused by the insecurity of our leaders, who have been denied a place of employment due to the fact that the rich owns the slot, who has queued endlessly at fuel stations based on the frivolity of our leaders, whose houses have been burnt, whose brothers and sisters have been killed while studying to help in building a better tomorrow,  Let us all build a land of new promise, let our street shout from the laughter of the people. Let wailing be a thing of the past, let the doors of education be open to the willing, let’s grant ourselves the ability to live together without fear. Our great texture of ethnic, religious and political diversity should be a blessing not a curse. We are a great raw material not war material. Let us quench the fire of fanaticism and accept the brotherliness that lies in this God built nation of ours.

and to our leaders .......................................................... PATIENCE IS RUNNING OUT!!!
