My ppl no be so oooooo hehehe, It's been a hot minute yo but I guess that's what happens when you're working on multiple projects that require a great deal of attention plus work. Anyway, howz everyone doing? hope you're having a great year so far.
The gist of this post is mainly about our dear country Nigeria. I'm a proud Nigerian anytime or day irrespective of all the negative news we hear in the international media from time to time BUT, recent events have left me really wondering about the future of that country.
How can a president leave for medical treatment without officially handing over to his deputy? technically leaving the country without a commander-in-chief. When he finally decided to speak after weeks of silence he went on BBC, like what happened to the likes of AIT or even NTA in Nigeria? Then some of the ppl we call leaders were asking for the Vice-President to resign....in the name of u don't want powers in the hands of a southerner abi na christian now. FEC ruling the ill president fit to lead the country, how? Then that yeye former attorney general. All in the name of money and power, as if they'll take it to their graves with them.
Nigeria which way? I was born in the 80's and it's been the same group of people and their associates running the country since then: Babaginda, Abacha, Abubakar, Obasanjo (who was president under the military regime before I was born), and now Yar'Adua. We need a complete overhaul of the system, younger and fresher minds that can actually move the country forward.
There are Nigerians in the country and around the world that can make Nigeria just as great and successful as the United States, Canada, etc. if given the opportunity, I truly believe it. I mean, check out governor Fashola of Lagos for example.
Now irrespective of my feelings about President Yar'Adua's actions, I still keep him in prayers and I encourage you all to do the same. It's the least we can do as individuals.
My prayer for now acting president Jonathan Goodluck is for God to give him the wisdom & grace to lead the people of Nigeria successfully and in peace.
Have a great week everyone and be good!
Keep praying for him sis...
