This is NOT limited to a tribe or religion.
To the shameful extent now, no sense of National sense of belonging is in built in our citizenry .
But I wonder why our leaders feel it's better to see Nigeria as an event , where all we do is exploit the country from your leadership position, without blinking an eyelid for a second. How come , none thought of this Nigeria as our collective heritage, how come none ( of our leaders) is thinking of why for instance all our industries are closing down, joblessness for our children expanding at a geometric rate. None is thinking how Nigeria will look like in 50, 100 200 years from now.
None is reflecting on that child whose parent never tasted power , but could indeed be a success in another country and not Nigeria. How do the leaders think and feel amassing incredible wealth will secure their children, children's children future. How come they never for once think it's a faulty calculation?
But how come we NOT thinking Nigeria, or seeing her as a collective common wealth, where education is a right not a privilege, where health care is affordable to every Nigeria no matter where they reside, where the girl child is not seen as an instrument for sexual gratification for top leaders even at the expense of her education. Where to be a Minister or Commissioner is a function of your professional skill and exploit and not goo fatherism.

Fellow Nigerians , did you notice when they are looting, and sharing their loots , neither tribe nor religion is an issue?
Did you noticed they operate as if Nigeria is an "event", so lets grab and grab as much as you can , loot as long as the party last , so when the party is over, we can then count our loots.
Did you notice this?
None is reflecting on the future generation? None is asking what our children will inherit as a country, in terms of ....better transport system, better electricity, deep inter cultural relationship, and indeed harnessing the beauty of Nigeria. None of our leaders is reflecting on this. If they ever do is how can they craftily move projects to their villages ,sections of their country or even my religion segment. Or how can they craftily deny others and impoverish them. What a shame!!!!
This is how not to develop a country .
Otherwise, why wouldn't we know that it is in our collective interest to criss cross the country with rail systems as a cheap and functional means of transportation.
Did they not know if this is done: the multiplier effect is huge? That inflation can be fought ruthlessly with cheap and functional means of transportation for humans and material? Yet, did you see the blind and selfish behavior of even our senate ( on the $5.8B China loan) ,until a fellow Senator called their attention to the injustice? .
Why for God sake will you do to a region and the others you fail to do. You deliberately make them feel unwanted, not once ,Not twice ,and now it has become more of a recurrent decimal. Or what really is the wisdom of recruiting 55 cadets from Katsina alone, more than the entire South East put together. If it was professional and academic excellence , then congratulations. But we all know it is NOT, it is guided by tribalism and nepotism.
Why can't we take Nigeria as one, plan for the economic growth for and knock off this myopic sectional manipulations.
Why can't we do it right??? Why why why.
Did we not know that, a good road network from North to south, west to East , second Niger Bridge is all in our collective interest. Did we not know this?
Did you not know that even Port Harcourt ports , Calabar ports , dredging the Rivers Niger and Benue,, up into Lokoja the legendary confluence town will be a huge blessing to Nigeria ? Create jobs, open the country, give us a sense of belonging.
Who is he that can deny this.
Did we not know that the reason my brothers and sisters in the North remain backward in education is deliberately designed and sustained by the leaders in the North, so that the dejected , and poor laborers remains available to serve them?
Did you not know that when the level of educated children in the north increase by 350% the poor child who is labeled almajiris , will natural escape that tag? and the almajiris system will die naturally.
Did I hear people saying nomadic system is a culture, and I say Nigerians can't you see the none-sense and selfishness?
If indeed nomadic life style is a culture how come the Cow owners have ALL their children in Europe and US schools.
Is that their culture too? How come its culture for the under privileged to lead cows , but irrelevant for the children of the privileged?
How come the oppressed cannot see this.
Or , there was of very recent past, when in the south East it was carelessly becoming fashionable for the adolescent young ibo boy, to abandon school for business apprentice . It got so deeply embedded, that at Oko POLYTHENIC, the school population was one time 65% female and 35% male.?. This was quickly seen as faulty , the trend was careful redressed. If it wasn't addressed, it may soon become a "culture". They found that being a business apprentice does not eliminate education. Now they neatly combined both.
Education is the key to many doors. Get a child educated he will tackle poverty, ignorance, business opportunities , adventures. And can easily separate symptoms from root causes.
Get the girl child in the North educated, the entire North will breathe another air. For the robust education of a girl child is indeed educating a village, town and indeed a generation.
But how come our leaders fail or refused to "see" this. I deliberately quoted the verb "see" because when you pick any of the privilege family, especially in the educationally disadvantage states. All, repeat, all of them had their own girl children well educated . Under privileged are married off at 12,13, or youthful ages. Show me any of these leaders daughters getting married at 12??
Can't you see the scheme is designed to keep the poor ,to remain poor, deprived, dis advantaged and so a ready tool for the wicked leaders to manipulations???.
