There is a popular saying that goes thus "the truth is very bitter" reason being that most times the truth is not always received with an appealing response. But despite this, the truth is what we must sometimes tell ourselves to grow and fix ourlives. I believe at this point that we have found ourselves as a nation only "the truth can truly set us free"

As a Nigerian who have been fortunate to live and work in Nigeria before traveling outside the shore of this nation, my experience both home and abroad has taught me that we as a people have only ourselves to blame for all that has befallen us. We have allowed greed, corruption, religion, political affilation and tribalism to thrive and tear us apart. We have turned our brothers in to enemies, while our real enemies gloat with laughter.

We have forgotten our heritage as the giant of africa and purpose as a people meant to build a great nation that will push Africa to prosperity, which was the dream of our founding fathers. Time and time again we have been given the chance to make amends and do what is right but we choose to look and walk the path of destruction.


Honestly , it will be a myth if I ever told my children that once upon a time the Naira was the same value to Dollar. That we had an oil boom for years and we couldn't build or fix any refinery. That youths who came out to defend their future peaceful, where slaughter like chicken and yet nobody has been held accountable. That citizens did not just crew on the line to buy foodstuffs but to buy our own currency. That Nigeria is richer than most wealthy nations around yet we are the champion of poverty and our peope scatter aboard in seach of green pastures. That brothers and sisters will kill each other for religious believe that the white man who brought it to us do not even care about. That we have allow tribe to blind us. That we give light to other countries who have standard light, while we can even have light for a week. That we rented a plane in disguised as a national carrier (chia). That we will allow political parties toy with us as if Atiku, Tinubu and Obi are not with their own personal agenda, yes i believe in the peole voice and choic, but we can fight over people who can't show a first class standard university , secondary school or primary school in their village with all their money. Dont even call (AAUN that business)As the saying goes "charity begins at home"


It time we sit down and tell ourselves the truth, because the world out there especially this white folks, they don't care, and only looking out for themselves and happy ready to keep using and taking advantage off us. You can blame them, it just business. They use the little the have to fix their country, do business with us and fix their country. Today as an European in the west even without a job you have accessibility to opportunities. We cannot continue to play the blame game, China, Singapore, Dubia, Malaysia, even Ruwanda isn't. Small Ghana, South Africa dey purse us because we lost our value to lead.

My peope all this cat and dog fight online and offline will not help us. it time to tell ourselves the truth by coming together in one voice, as one people, as one Nigeria and fight for the benefit of this great nation.


God bless Nigeria
God bless all Nigerian wherever we are in all we do
God bless the Giants of Africa

Before tribalism first remove these religious madness

Tribalism is inborn religious fanatism is self inflicted like opioid

OP, two things that will still be very much common in Nigeria till the next 50 years (if Nigeria will still geographically be the same...I highly doubt it) is religious fanatism and tribalism, so get used to that and concentrate on your life ....almost everyone of us presently on Nairaland now is very likely going be dead and gone by 2099....no stress am as time will sort out every one of us.😆😆

Like oil and water, the politicians have made sure the masses never mix. Sadly, to their own hurt. The only reason I don't downplay the potency of spells.

Many have been zombified. They would rather tear each other down with anything possible, rather than confront their mutual and strangely united foes.
