The best helping hand is at the end of your sleeve
The situation of Nigerian citizenry is continue deteriorating everyday as a result of their inability to take a decisive action in their capacity as citizens to tackle the injustice of their unsympathetic leaders.
God can never subject his creation to such type of molestation, sufferings, injustice, unlawful use of power denial and deprivation of etcetera, etcetera without providing them with a weapon to fight all these. As long as we continue to keep silence to perpetuate their injustice and rude leadership style, the more we continue to remain in this difficult situation. Only the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
It has been a known fact to all dinner is called lunch nowadays and supper has become dinner to a very few Nigerians that can afford it while the larger number of people spend some days without any food, who makes himself a sheep will be eaten by the wolfs.
Better be a living dog than to be a dead lion, we must stand to live before they finish us all, no any brighter day will come from them any more. A bad penny always turns up, we have come of age now and wise to be responsible for our future, gardens are not made by sitting in the shade.
Nigerians mind will not be at peace if the states and the national assembly members and the federal government cannot rethink their position to either give autonomy to local governments or force the governors of the states to give them their money being shared every month by the federal account allocation committee.
Please let their money be released to them, we don’t trust anything from you, facts speaks louder than words. Some may think the idea to be like ‘’rob Peter to pay Paul’’.
Dare the local governments squander the money if it comes we will show them that only the fool rush in where angels feared to tread.
We don’t want the so called palliative which is almost lesser than the revenue allocation that suppose to come to my local government every month if it is to be quantified and compared in a case of my LGA which is Misau LGA in Bauchi state where we used to be allocated one hundred million or thereabout every month.
Please multiply it by 774 LGAs of the federation and compare with the amount spends on palliative on each of the LGAs every month. You have to be just before you are generous let the LGAs get their money please fair exchange is not robbery.
Let’s not allow them to take advantage of putting us in hunger and use our stomach to reach our hearts. It is in the mind of everyone that unless this is done people at the grass level can never enjoy the dividend of democracy.
My country men and women its time, Don’t ever complain if you can’t enforce your point of view. ( su cuce ku a duniya, kuyi ta zaginsu ku cece su a lahira). Thank God as for the good things like air are free.
Advice is cheap, it is easier to prevent the foreseen annoyance from happening than to repair the damage. Correcting a small mistake may help to avoid a bigger one.
Leaders have to value and appreciate the blessings of their being leaders. Don’t dig your grave with your own knife and fork. An ant may well destroy a whole dam.There is a solution to everything even if there are doubts. A hungry belly has no ears, sometimes one need to be a little bit crazy hence a call should be made to all to go and sit at the doors of the state house of assemblies and the national assembly as well, to draw their attention on the hardest situation of the citizenry.
Just as it was said ‘’the first step is the hardest’’. Start from where you are, be it a ward level, a constituency or what have you. Use what you have like a call back of a member or a senator and do whatever you can to emancipate yourself. Let the leaders be reminded that every door may be shut but death’s door, the day of reckoning must surely come where everyone of us will be called to account for his actions and death is the great leveller, as you sow, so shall you reap. A mouse may help a lion, the people you are inflicting sufferance are the people that will help you at the time when you cannot be able to do anything for yourself (i.e. when you are dead). People of your own status cannot come close to your corpse not to talk of washing your dead body much less than digging your grave.
Think wise of whom you are to support and allow them to come into your comfort else you will become like an old fool. We will not continue to allow the law breakers to be the leaders of the law abiding citizens. Gone are the days of might – have – been as it is never too late to what you might have been. People must come together to fight this injustice. Nigerians are not stupid; but only lazy. We have a lot of intelligent people whose drop of ink can make a million think.
Lets try and erase the doubts from the people’s minds that not all elites are bad people. As the saying goes ‘’the bad news travels fast’’ please make this good news travels faster by circulating it very fast, this will be helpful to all, procrastination is the thief of time.
