NIGERIA- THE POLITICAL CIRCUMSTANCES by Obisanya Adesewa.
For the past two decades we've had elderly people rise up to take the office of the President. Elders who want to be looked up to but with no single vision for the country. All they care about is embezzling public funds, turning it into private funds for events, traveling, and self care. So called elders wbo behave immaturely, only seeking to create more problems for the next person to occupy that seat. Men who make false promises during campaign, stage plays starring them as cheerful givers, concerned about the health and well being of the citizens.
What happens when they eventually win the election?
Promises are forgotten, "corruption" is being "eradicated" in places they were never in to begin with. More bad roads, more clogged water supplies, increase in price of commodity and the rich keep getting rich while the poor get poorer.
It is even so bad now, that the country is going through a situation I'd like to refer to as "Animal Domination". We are still battling with the Boko Haram yet this doesn't stop the rise of the " Fulani Herdsmen " known to be the most dangerous terrorist group in the world in comparison to ISIS and the likes. A group of dirty looking, uncivilized, blood thirsty "humans", taking lives for the sake of animals that are meant to be eaten. What's worse is that they've been given free reign by the President himself. Cows are now allowed to walk the streets majestically while humans cower in fear. Oh what a tragedy.
It has even gotten to the situation where they are money-eating animals. And these ones do not like eating "small-small". Oh no! They are said to swallow millions of Naira.
What has this country turn into?
Now we want a new President, a new ruler. What's the assurance that history won't repeat itself? We can only hope for the best and place this country and its leaders into the hands of the Almighty.
