This is a rant article, an eye opener I suppose for all of us (Nigerians) who choose to be blind or for those who choose to be deaf.
Nigeria is slowly turning into a circus and we've agreed to be the monkeys, we've allowed the authorities feed us with lies unending and like always, it would trend on twitter for a few days, people would create memes out of serious life issues and it automatically turns into a joke.
Everything seems to be funny these days, the authorities have realised how mediocre we are and how amused we are at all this rubbish that they give us more to laugh about. Circus.
Yes, I agree we are a third world country but I like to believe we are way above all this mediocrity. I just wonder how stupid the government think we are to believe that:
1. A rat ate our budget
2. A snake swallowed 36 million naira
3. A monkey swallowed 70 million naira
4. A dragon flew away with 486 million naira
Just imagine, and this list doesn't include the other numerous lies we've been fed over the past few years. There's only so much I can say.
The questions now are, would these cases be looked into? Where did all this money really go to? Are we even going to talk about this?
The answers are: We don't know we don't know, we don't know. This is sad.
We have allowed this and it will continue to happen if we don't speak up.
I believe in Nigeria, I believe things can be better but we have to work towards making it better. We have to speak up.
Have a lovely weekend people.
I'm sitting on the floor in my bathroom, this is the first time I've been inspired to write in months and like you'd guess, I'm inspired by blinding pain. All my life, since I can fucking remember, I've wondered why some certain people treat me a certain type of way. For years, I couldn't get answers so I tried to fix something I didn't have a clue about. At 20, I'm here wondering if all the soul searching, quest for answers, zeal to breakthrough and all I had to go through were necessary. I'm surrounded by lies! Lies everywhere! I've beat myself up for so many years for what wasn't my fault and while I'm relieved I wasn't at fault, I'm utterly bewildered. After all these years, the people I've fought to protect have been lying to me. I don't know how to feel and I know this doesn't make any sense but I'm this close to losing it. This close.
