A WAKE UP CALL TO ALL CONCERN NIGERIANS - BY OKON OFFIONG (De Catalyst)

By OKON OFFIONG (De-catalyst) 

We call ourselves Nigerians hence we are just known for making noise, dancing, marrying many wives, alcoholism, witchcraft, indulging in sex, pretending in church, jealousy, fighting and complaining of bad leadership; yet we refuse to take a decisive action and protest to remove the brigands from position of power.

Let us all accept the fact that Nigeria is a symbol of poverty, mental inferiority, laziness and emotional incompetence.To make the matter worse, we can do everything possible to defend our ill mentality. 

Give us money for development and we will fight and create hatred and enmity for ourselves . Drill oil wells for us and we will not have peace all the days of our life.

"This proves to anybody including us that Nigerians do not know what they want. isn't that plausible"?

"We are like monkeys looking for already ripping banana all over the world!!!.

wole Soyinka (An Activist, noble laurel winner) 

Therefore that the dream of every Nigerian is to travel outside the country isn't a surprise because even the leaders lack foresight by seeing the right things to do but still fail to know what to do"

Our mentality is low to the extent that we cannot plan for our life beyond a year. Therefore how can we develop and live longer.

"Corruption in the west (And China) is a big abomination, but in Nigeria 🇳🇬 , it's so huge that it is slowly becoming an acceptable way of life!!!.

We sing and rejoice to our corrupt political leaders because of small pennies we receive. We think our leaders are doing us favour in providing those needs, not knowing its our right. 

“Whatever I am doing today, I am fighting for that little girl that I was, that yearned for help, that begged to be helped with a textbook so that I can read and pass my exams. If I ever give up that fight, I will be giving up on myself.”

It is so disheartening that a Nigerian is born a beggar, grows a beggar, looks a beggar, falls sick as a beggar and dies a beggar if he has no connection. this has been proven beyond reasoning.

I shed tears to see that most young boys and girls go to school by force, and most of those who are at school have lost focus and have rather involve themselves in cultism and make the society unsafe.

"We cried for independence but we have failed to rule ourselves"

We have minerals but we cannot do anything with it. Therefore giving room for the whites to meddle with our resources .

"Look at what is currently going on in Nigeria National Assembly. Legislators amending the constitution to favor themselves at the expense of two (200) million Nigerians.

"Majority of these legislators are treasury looters who are intellectually barren but using the ill gotten wealth to oppress the citizens of that great country".

I want peace. Happiness. Not only for myself. For everybody.”

 The worst tragedy in Nigeria 🇳🇬 is that if you dare stand up and speak up for what's right, you may end up regretting.

"The few wise and open-minded Nigerians🇳🇬 who have tried to educate us about civilization have met the worst.They have been pushed hard on the wall, they have been silenced and others have been killed". The likes of Sowore who have always stood up speak against the ill act of our leaders have always been apprehended with threat. 

I want to seize this medium to challenge all the concerned youths and citizens to stand up and lets tackle this corruption, dreadful terrorism, tribalism, poverty, unemployment, diseases, illiteracy, ignorance, and inequality, that have put our country on the verge of collapse".
