THE POLITICIAN OCTOBER 2013 | Page 58

I personally believe that they’re people who love nothing more than to sit down on their blessed assurances and tear down the image of our nation, and the minute you begin to speak up for Nigeria, they automatically assume that you have been bribed by some politician to do so. How did our minds become so bastardised as a nation? What happened to us? Why do we behave as if our country is the worst country in the World? We should travel to Sudan and Zimbabwe and Rwanda and Burundi and so many other countries, and then compare them to Nigeria. Perhaps then we will begin to appreciate our country a bit more and begin to seek for ways to improve our nation and the lot of our people. Thanks to social networking sites like Facebook, so many unelected and un-appointed wannabe politicians use these platforms to spew out garbage about Nigeria from morning till night. They all know how to solve Nigeria’s problems and yet they won’t even join a political party or start an NGO, or even visit a motherless baby’s home and give out milk and pampers. All they know how to do is insult public office holders who are not even reading any of their stupid blogs or comments anyway. I am yet to meet a Nigerian in all my travels who doesn’t know how to fix Nigeria. They all have the answers and yet most of them can’t even keep their marriages together. You can’t even keep your marriage together and yet you believe that you can keep the North and South together. What a bunch
