Nigerians has normalized the absurd, we now reinforce nonsensical stances and fear.

No sense of our history, today and we are gradually trailing a 'no path future'. We are blind to things that threatens our existence.

Our ruling elites don't 'bother' about us, I use the word 'bother' in a deliberate manner to depict how useless we are on their lists. People we voted into positions to turn around our Commonwealth?

How come our public servants are so powerful that we can't question them?

We are imprisoned by soccer, pseudo lifestyles on social media and foreign soap-operas. A society whose young population is in a perpetual state of slumber will never realise her potentials.

If our fathers kept all they knew to themselves for the fear of being labelled, tagged and named 'rebels', we must not allow these to continue.

Our indifference, that pervasive lack of interest in anything that doesn’t directly affect us in the here and the now, casts a deadly shadow. One that hounds and haunts our being until it eventually envelopes us.

Many are tired of struggling to claw their way back to a middle class that no longer exist, mainly because of those, out ignorance, they have stampeded to power to plunder and take more than they deserve via heinous heists.

Since what we allow continues, they keep taking until all that is left for the rest of us is a memory of how things used to be before the Jagabans cum political elites and their bottom line decided we didn’t matter anymore.

You can always tell how daring this is with their demonstration of complacency without the need to campaign in a critical election they don’t deserve to win.

A society mired in poverty and crime makes fear a religion and every perceived ray of sunshine through social aids and handouts make gods of oppressors behind the inimical anti-people policies (weaponization of poverty).

But in the real sense we do matter. You and I, Nigerians the world over. We still matter. Unless of course we surrender and allow ourselves to be subjugated to their campaign of coercion and intimidation.”

I'm a patriot, a critical thinker and a nonconformist.

Don't allow emotions and sentiments get in the way of your reasoning. Make use of your brain!
