Harold Laski in his Grammar of Politics stated
“Every state is known by the rights it maintains. We judge the state according
to the happiness of men". What is happening presently in my motherland (Nigeria), where
Nigerians are living on the bank of the Rivers, use(ing) their urine to wash
their hands is very melancholic, lugubrious and lacrimo.

Nigeria is one of the biggest oil producing
country in the world but has no fuel, it beats rational imagination that a
litre of fuel is sold between 250 naira and 300 naira even at that, citizens
who blindly voted for "chain the so-called change" cannot get the
products to buy to power their cars or generating sets, Nigeria is in the
heartbeat of darkness in the world. What a glory that has departed from Buhari
led administration.
It is now very obvious that Buhari and All
Progressives Congress (APC) were not fully prepared ab initio for the task
associated with governance. Their major interests was only to obliterate and
eliminate Jonathan and PDP from power without any clear cut agenda, ideology or
blueprint to place the country back to the right track, economically and
otherwise where the hoi polloi Nigerians can live a decent life and no longer
sleep under the bridge. A government that cannot address the welfare of the
people has no locus standi to continue its stay in office, as the welfare of
the people is the supreme law of the land ( salus populi est suprema lex).
It is on record that President Muhamadu Buhari
took oath of office on May 29th, 2015 with the hope and aspirations that the
economic woes and incubus of the country would be addressed pragmatically, au
grand serieux putting into perspective the change mantra they sold to the
people during their electioneering campaign. What we are seeing today is
antithetical unprecedented hardship on the masses.
The poverty of the rag tag and bobtails has
increased shortly in a geometric progression, as the already exacerbated
problems of the poor have further been exacerbated by the government who
promised to make Nigeria
heaven on earth for them. it is sardonic and painful to note with pessimism and
cynicism that some youths who are very hungry break into peoples' houses during
the day to steal pot of soup and garri to resolve their rebellion of the
stomach or if you like the middle belt crisis. A country where the plebeians
have no access to food is a debacle and fiasco. Even poor countries like Togo and
others; people buy food stuff at a very cheaper rate compared to what is
obtainable in the so called Giant of Africa where live.
There is presently mass exodus of our amiable
youths, moving from Nigeria
to neighboring African countries en route Italy by land. They prefer to die
during the cause of their peregrination in Libya
than to live in squalor and penury in this hell on earth called Nigeria, where
things are falling apart and the center could no longer hold.
