Nigeria in all truth, honesty, reality and ramifications? What benefits
have ordinary Nigerians received from this nation's oil wealth to date?
How can you be proud, dedicated or patriotic to a nation that has no
plan for you or her youths that face very high unemployment rates,
hopelessness and a bleak future? Which country in the world that has
this type of enormous oil wealth but decided to pay a poverty wage of
$110 a month as the national minimum wage to her workers and indirectly
denied them their basis life necessities?
Which country in the world today will close her
human eyes to justice or public accountability by allowing her own
leaders to loot the nation dry, then awarded them with her prestigious
national awards or state pardon and then allow these heavily corrupt
public officials in and outside the government to walk on their major
streets freely and to continue to enjoy their loot or the ill-gotten
wealth? Which country will officially pardon an international rogue like
the former governor of Bayelsa State Mr. Alamieyeseigha that is still
wanted in Britain and United States for money laundering? How can you be
nationalistic and patriotic to a country that allowed her religious
bigots and fanatics to commit genocides, murders, arsons and looting all
in the name of their religion and will never allow these cold-blooded
killers to face the weight of justice, denied the dead and their
families justice or any financial compensations for their huge human and
material losses?

government officials to steal the pension funds that are meant for her
seniors or retirees who had served Nigerian faithfully with their life
and time, but are now denied a decent retirement in their sunset years?
Which country in the whole world will blame the demons for her inability
to provide the citizens who are tax payers with electricity instead of
arresting the true culprit which is the official corruption and the
mismanagement of the Nigerian state resources by her officials that made
the provision of electricity practically impossible in Nigeria today?

when her airports are never maintained properly, modernized and her
aviation workers are incompetent?

direct effects of the decades of official corruption and mismanagement
of the airline funds by her top officials and then allow those corrupt
officials to get away with their corrupt practices? Which country in the
world today uses 30% of her federal budget to pay salaries and
allowances for her 17,500 public elected and appointed officials (0.01%
of all Nigerians) in the name of public service and then allow 80% of
the ordinary Nigerians to survive on abject poverty of about $1-$2 a
day? Which properly thinking Nigerians will be proud to live in a nation
that refuses to provide her citizens with their basic social services,
national infrastructures and human rights?
Which nation today will neglect her entire health
care system to rot but will use the state funds to fly her selected
officials and their family members to the best hospitals in Europe and
North America when they are sick? Which country that truly desires to
develop will be running a national educational system that is based on
the 20th century outdated programs in the 21st century world? Which
country will neglect her own citizens in the foreign nations of the
world where they live today when emergency evacuations are needed or
their Nigerian passports require to be renewed despite the presence of
the Nigerian foreign mission in those country? Which country today in
the world will spend 21% of her federal budget on her national security,
but she still fails to practically and truly protect the life and the
properties of her citizens or residents in all reality?
