Not many citizens will hail the current state of affairs; not with the rising tension everywhere, not with the unabating growth in unemployment, not with the impending strike over fuel subsidy and the subsisting one by ASUU - our university teachers.
If you blame the aggrieved, I hear you. If you blame the miscreants/hoodlums (as the media joins leaders to call them), I hear you. If you blame *US* the citizens, I hear you. Blame not the politicians or their hirelings or their hangers-on or their naked and inordinate greed cum ambitions or their spiritual consultants who see no evil, speak no evil. Chide not our leaders or their ethics or their ineptitude or their tactical rather than strategic cast or their herd mentality or their budget-failure artistry or their mindless looting of our patrimony. They were not responsible, are not responsible, will not be responsible beyond the pot.
So, they get us on the queue to vote and claim the glory. We hail them, they nail us. We hail them, they jail our youths in the visible prison of poverty but tell us we are FREE! Judging by the spending spree of government at many levels, they clearly enjoy the glee.
As duty calls, dear compatriots, who hails NIGERIA?
