CITIZEN IMPOVERISHMENT

CITIZEN IMPOVERISHMENT 

   What can we do to make Nigeria indivisible a country? Where every citizen is equal before the law and equal before the commonwealth of Nigeria? It is painful that in today Nigeria, there is so much bitterness  and massive impoverishment of the citizenry, particularly the youths, and this poverty and impoverishment has been blamed as the reason for increase in crime, which have turned heinous. The concentration of poverty amongst the youths is in our urban cities, where these youths and even children see the empty mansions, castles, sky crappers built by Nigeria Citizens with loots from the commonwealth, it create anger. Go to Abuja, the Nations capital, Lagos, Port Harcourt, and see what very few Nigerians are doing with money in the midst of so much poverty, it could be frustrating to say the least.

    The more offending aspect is the wrong and very evil assumption by public office holders in Nigeria that some people ought to be poor while they are entitled to enjoy the commonwealth of the nation as they will. What matters to these public office holders is to hold on to power even when they are not contributing to improving law and order and the massive impoverishment, which in my own opinion are among the numerous problems of Nigeria.

   The surprising thing is that law and order and massive impoverishment are resolve able in practical terms if the government of the day have the will power and courage to do so. And this is what appears to be lacking among the leaders of the Nation in this our time. And to me this is simply wickedness which cannot produce happiness.
