Someday,
job applicants in Nigeria will not be made to pay to apply for govt jobs
without getting absorbed or losing out to the "connected ones"-who
will never attend any job aptitude test but eventually get govt jobs.
Someday,
govt jobs will not be meant for the "connected, politically favoured incompetent
ones" but for those who really deserve and are ready to diligently serve
with veracity of mind and purpose.
Someday,
govt agencies, departments and parastatals will stop having the opportunity to
extort & defraud job seekers in the name of recruitment exercises.
Someday,
a larger percentage of our youths will not be idle job-seekers but youths who
have varied & creative opportunities to be employed, self-employed & be
job creators, adding value to the nation’s economy.
Someday,
Nigeria will be led by leaders who genuinely have the welfare of their people
at heart and are duly committed to creating enabling environment for social
economic development.
Someday,
Nigeria will be free from band of leaders who keep milking the nation in the
midst of widespread poverty.
…Leaders
who go round campaigning for re-election amid wide evidence of their sloppiness
and ineptitude.
…Leaders
who takes pleasure in shielding thieves & corrupt aides while the nation is
wallowing in huge debt.
…Leaders
who keep voting & spending billions of naira on private security while
lives of innocent & defenceless citizens are been massacred weekly.
…Leaders
who keep asking people for religious piety & prayers while they go about
patronizing marabouts & sprawling in their laziness.
One
day Nigeria will be free from a class of these deadheads!
Someday
Africa will be free from selfish, myopic, egoistic, covetous & corrupt
leaders!
From
that day we shall be free indeed!

This
is a reflection inspired by the worry I got myself entangled with as a result
of the reports of current happenings in my beloved country Nigeria.
It’s
high time our leaders realised that Nigerians are probe-sick &
action-eager!
RIP to
fellow countrymen who have lost their lives as a result of the prevalent
insecurity and socio-economic malaise in recent times!
