JOIN THE JUNE 12 MASS ACTION TO KICK OFF AN END TO BAD GOVERNMENT, LET'S SAFE LIVES!
It's no longer news that the people of Nigeria have been subjected to decades of misrule, lack of socio-political direction and economic disaster masterminded by the recklessness of the kleptomaniac, sycophantic, oppressive and tyrannical present and past regimes of the APC/PDP.
It is a pity that a country that had been forseen to be world superpower by year 2020, has been plagued with sets of greedy, clueless, inefficient and dishonest bunch of rulers recycling themselves in power since the 1960s. It remains shocking how a country which has been consistently producing crude oil for more than 60 years became coronated as the poverty capital of the world. In 2020, Nigeria sold an average of over 2millions barrels of oil per day, and yet Nigerians still find it extremely difficult to feed three times a day.
During the outbreak of the pandemic, the insensitive and compulsory lockdown in 2020, set Nigerians in deep agony as businesses were crumbling and people were living from hand to mouth. Adding salt to injury, was the poor health sector and workers that have been starved and denied adequate funding/allowances, equipment and sophisticated medical facilities to withstand the heat of the novel pandemic. Our dear country has to rely heavily on foreign aids to function as the health sector is nothing to write home about and our treasury has been mindlessly looted.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) supported Nigerian government with $3.4 billion to combat covid 19, and also to provide palliative to the people to ease off the harsh economic downslide caused by the outbreak. Yet, there was no developmental significance in the health sector and the workers are still very much underpaid or being owed salaries and/or allowances in most cases. To buttress the height of callousness of this evil regime, even food palliatives that were locally donated by multinational companies in Nigeria, where hoarded and in some cases stolen by our wicked leaders. Ceaseless looting by both the local, state and federal political office holders has crippled the nation as many states cannot even pay their workers deserving wages anymore. Unemployment rate has catapulted to 33%, and amidst all these, our insensitive leaders continue to steadily increase the fuel pump price which was subsequently increased from #65 per litre to #380. Thus, inflation has ravaged and bitten our economy in the soul, and the fall of the Naira has become consequently persistent.
The cost of foods and market goods skyrocket, cost of transportation is pocket-tearing, as the purchasing power of the meagre minimum wage the government pays Nigerian workers fall drastically. Hence, Nigeria workers, under this wicked minimum wage which is one of the lowest in the world, can hardly feed their families let alone afford good healthcare, nor afford to train their wards in school even in the so-called public owned tertiary institutions. Meanwhile the politicians, do not only go for medical tourism as they please or even send their children to school abroad, they also pay themselves such fat salaries and allowances that it will take a government worker earning #30,000 minimum wage more than 61 years to make just one month salary of a Nigeria governor.
Insecurity leveraged on this predicament, as armed robbery, kidnapping and other heinous crimes have been made lucrative as many youth find it hard to make legitimate ends meet. Hence, insecurity has continually devoured our land and many people have been displaced and rendered homeless in their own country. Farmers cannot confidently go to farms, school children cannot go to school and even lawful commuters travel in perpetual fear of abduction, gruesome murder, rape, etc.
Most times terrorists enjoy government protection, which emboldens them to commit more atrocities. The APC-led Gen. Muhammadu Buhari administration harbours and appears to be a safe haven for apologists of banditry and terrorism, which explains why it has failed woefully in what should be the number one responsibility of any government as human lives no longer have value in Nigeria.
The Nigerian government has mastered the art of "divide and rule" by selling lies, propaganda and all sorts of deceptive gimmicks to sow discord and divide the people's voice. They device ways to divert the people's attention away from their thievery and evil tendencies and systematically divide us across political, ethnic, and religious lines.
The time has come for the good people of Nigeria to rise up in one accord, voice and strength; and deliver the nation from the hands political cankerworms, the same set of people who are only changing party alphabets(APC/PDP) only when it's politically "profitable". It is important that we know our problem so we understand what is best as solutions. Our major problems are the real enemy of our nation's progress who occupy public offices from the federal level down to local units. And the solution is coming together in united force to put an end to their shenanigans, and by ourselves determine the political future and destiny of our country.
We shall not be intimidated, nor allow ourselves to be divided by cheap propaganda as we know our problems are just not Hausa, Fulani, Igbo, or Yoruba, neither is it the Muslims or Christians. Our problems are the public office holders who have looted the past, the present and even the future of you and I. And among them are Hausas, Fulanis, Igbos, Yorubas. Among them are also Muslims and Christians etc.
The only way to true liberation is to put an end to their reign of terror and build a decent life and society for ourselves and upcoming generations. THE TIME IS NOW!
