Nigeria: A Nation On The Brink Of Collapse

            

By Mike Ikhariale

Anyone watching the series of unpleasant events that have taken place in Nigeria in the past few years cannot but conclude that this is a country on a calamitous plunge. The sad part of the whole development is that it does not appear as if the leadership and even the citizens themselves fully appreciate the danger that is looming headlong like an onrushing train as things have, to an exceptionally alarming extent, been treated in the habitual lackadaisical manner of “business as usual” despite the increasingly cataclysmic developments that are manifesting all around them and to which they have no rational answers.

In a way, I feel as if I have the unusual misfortune of talking ceaselessly about the danger being posed to the polity by bad leadership and corruptive political culture with no one in a position to act positively taking notice of them. For those benefiting from the ongoing misfortunes and tragedies of the country, I might have already earned the sobriquet of an alarmist and possibly that of a prophet of doom.

Nigeria: The Truth My Fulani Friends Must Accept

 By Dele Momodu 

“Everything that has a beginning must have an end. As they say on the street: “E fit take time, but one day, one day, Monkey go go market”

I love this quote about injustice:

“Every person remembers some moment in their life where they witnessed some injustice, big or small, and looked away because the consequences of intervening seemed too intimidating. But there’s a limit to the amount of incivility and inequality and inhumanity that each individual can tolerate. I crossed that line. And I’m no longer alone.” – Edward Snowden.  

“One day, and very soon, Nigerians will cross that line too. For there is indeed a limit to human endurance. One day, we all shall rise to say Enough is enough. One day!”

Fellow Nigerians, I have had to shelve the continuation of the celebration of Ovation International magazine at 25 in order to address matters of pressing national importance. I have just received some new horrific videos of bestial killings in some parts of Nigeria, and it is obvious Satan himself has landed in Nigeria.
