PATIENCE IS RUNNING OUT

It is no longer news that Nigeria is at war against itself. Every day we try to proffer solutions to the existing characters in the play written by some script writers on the corridors of power. The movie called Nigeria is a tragedy; which at the end all will perish if the script won’t change. The present young generation must be allowed to pattern their future in all political arenas and it's time these fathers understand it's our turn.We are blessed with all forms of RAW materials but in turn we’ve developed them to WAR materials. 

The Nigerian youth of today is a product of the failure of the generation ahead of us. We were indoctrinated into their selfish life of greed, corruption, composed inequality, godfatherism, ethnicity, brain drain, social injustice, unemployment, militancy and terrorism, lack of patriotism and marginalization. The results of all these have built a weakened youth in Nigeria who forgives without reasons called foolishness, who collects N500 to disrupt an election which would have bettered his life, who hates a fellow Nigerian because he is of another ethnic group, who understands scarcity of fuel and sees queues in our filing stations as normal, who applauds a governor for spending money he was given to spend, who claps for politicians who drill boreholes in their villages without providing a tap, who gather at political rallies with no manifestos delivered, who is told their money and future is missing in the hands of technocratic politicians and all we do is sit down and look, who sees the terrorist organization as the only option and attends to it. 

But this must stop else ……… just yesterday the nation suffered a great blow, One that would affect the development of this nation extremely. Once again, the youths of this country are forced to loose hope in their mother land. The National Immigration Service organized a sacrificial test for over 500,000 youths in Nigeria. The test that demanded from the unemployed and suffering Nigerian youth the sum of N1000 as money for organizing it. A written test conducted in a stadium is a reflection of how the organizers think. The venues were filled to brim and unfortunately the zealous Nigerian youths who are ready to sacrifice themselves for the growth and development were sacrificed at the altars of the mistakes of these stupid politicians and organizers. I wish the son of Abba Moro was one of those that died and wonder if that irritating address he gave is what the families of the deceased should take as a comfort to the loss of their children. 

Everyday lives are lost and soon we might be forced to demand our rights back from the state. We are tired of the state of decadence and every attempt to believe that something good can still come out of this warring nation, the defenseless youth is attacked again. The test which went wrong on Saturday the 13^th of march 2014 have left some men widowers, some children motherless, some parents childless and pains spread to friends and well wishers. To colleagues they can’t believe that would be the last time they would see Mrs Juliet Akinlabi and when asked who killed them; the only answer is GOVERNMENT. 

How long shall we continue to be sacrificed on this altar of failure?  Our patience is running out and we shall soon retaliate to save our future. The means of these retaliation shall be decided by the affected youths and when this happens……………………

The rich are safe but the poor are dying. In Benue state the governor was attacked but he escaped with the help of security personnel. In Adamawa state governor's attack, security rescued the situation as he also escaped but Fulani herdsmen have killed over eighty people in Benue. Same state securities rescued Gov Suswam. Boko haram have killed dozens in Adamawa. Same state Gov Nyako was rescued. Same securities that rescue the rich left the school dormitory in Yobe and this led to the death of secondary school students. Those kids were defenseless, they are the supposed great leaders of our nation wiped off by the negligence of some people.

i know a change is imminent and when it starts, there won’t be a beagle blown. All affected would bounce on those that supposedly affected them and anomie would be the case. Our patience is running out; those in power…….. BEWARE.
