You raised really good points there and I must say I feel the same about the relationship we have with this country as Nigerians living in Nigeria.
You know, this is the type of country where you can make an extraordinary effort and break sweats round the clock, but it still won't guarantee that you would have sufficient Finance to take care of all your needs. In fact, people work like crazy but what they earn are peanuts.
Thinking of this is enough to cause severe mental health issue, but we can't allow ourselves to dwell too much in that misfortune. Let's continue focusing on what we can do.
Kenechukwu! Seeing your comments just made me kenechukwum, you've really spoken well. I think the poverty is one of the most distressing part of being a Nigerian. Nigeria is simply set out to ensure that her citizens remain poor by all means, while only a few gather the wealth.
But we can't continue crying, while we remain part of the failed state, we'll just have to keep living like aliens till we either die, change our condition for the better, or still, things could get worse.
Hah! I see with you did with the name right there. Hehe. That's a really cool wordplay.
As for we in this Nigeria, we are already born into the country. Some will be able to tell their success story sometime in the future, while others will forever be in a near-success-syndrome.
I just hope we all get to have an adorable story to tell about our achievement.
I hope so too!
