At a sensitive time such as this, some people are so much concerned with tribal conspiracy theory instead of fighting as Nigerians with one voice.
The bad governance we are speaking against today does not only affect the Southerners, it's to every Nigerian home or away.
It may not bother you as it does to me how we get to recycle the same people in governance. They come disguised as saviours on a different political platform whereas it's no different from the other and then we approve of them thinking they'll do better.
Wow! See them shocking us one by one.
Nigeria is sixty years old for crying out loud and yea, we should enjoy good lives as Nigerians.
How annoying it is when I meet staunch followers of a particular leader and their level of reasoning still shows how blindfolded they are to see the obvious flaws.
Like how can one out of hundred person keep saying that one leader is doing well when it's otherwise? Mehnnnn
You mean to say the remaining ninety nine are sentimental to see the good in that governance. No No.
The Nigeria that's supposed to stand as an entity is gradually falling away tribally.
We just seem to share the same geographical location, the rest of our values are not common in any way.
Our brotherhood has since eroded and we've allowed where we come from define who we are and how we relate with others.
Take for instance this scenario, two candidates at a job interview. The company is owned by a Northerner. The candidate Aminu Abubakar that was sent by an Alhaji in Kano was given the job even though he wasn't qualified. The Adeleye Olanrewaju from Osun state who merits the job went home heartbroken, another trial in eight years of job hunting.
The more we put tribe as a major factor in decision making, the more things get spoilt even beyond redemption.
The bird app has been filled with all manner of criticisms on the move against bad governance in the country. Some said the protesters were sponsored to upturn this administration. Wait, is it too much to ask for a future?
We grew up with the nursery rhyme:
Parents, listen to your children
We are the leaders of tomorrow
Try to pay our school fees
And give us sound education.
Does that even sound achievable? The leaders we've known since we were little are still in power. So, how do we fill up these positions when there's no vacancy? Our parents have tried to give us sound education but does the education now take away hardship we experience? Can we equally boast of good life?
If they won't allow us to be in governance, they should at least be accountable to us. And yea, it should be that simple!
I'm sure if we had all things working properly for us as a country, we would identify as Nigerians proudly anywhere we find ourselves. But you have no one to blame, we only reckon with Nigeria when we want to fill in our nationality not because we pledge allegiance.
Brotherhood has been shifted from nationality to ethnicity and tribe. You see Amuda and Alao helping each other neglecting Uche and Waziri. Afenifere they say is different from Arewa and Ohaneze. I laugh.
Isn't it a pity when youths do no longer believe in this country? Everyone is desperately seeking a means to migrate to another country. Fixing this land seems to take forever. As fixers are even being fired shots at. What's the essence of risking lives for a course that would be hissed at anyway?
Nigeria, though divided literarily can be united again.
When everyone does the right thing with the golden rule: Do unto others what you want them do to you''
Only with a stronger and louder voice can we win this battle and get ourselves the country of our dream. It's becoming a reality when we recognize it a fight of all and for all.
It's not for the Yorubas
Not for the Igbos
Not even for the Hausas
It's for all of us as Nigerians
With this I challenge you to act values so we can have a country we can call ours.
