WE NIGERIANS


It is time we Nigerians, begin to look into ourselves deeply, and ponder why do we have the country we have. Why do we have the the shabby political system we have; the poor health services, the decaying education system, the feeble principles we possess and poor moral standards we adhere to. And the list can go on and on.

When something goes terribly wrong, and in a huge country, with the highest African population world wide, we point to Abuja, and to our frail governing system.

But are we not the ones who many times voted for those who we are quick to blame? Why don't we blame ourselves too, for having voted in one "supposed" leader or the other.

It is time we begin to look seriously into ourselves, into our character as a people, who being a part of the society, to be very honest we have our fair share of blame, for the present status quo we are faced in our country today, tomorrow, and only God really knows for how long.

To avoid doing so, is to keep giving a colective green light, to the decaying ills, we face every day, in the spectrum of society as a whole.
