Buhari, Tinubu, Osibanjo, IBB, Sanusi, Peter Obi, El-Rufai, Obj, GEJ, Orji Uzor Kalu, Rochas Okorocha, Atiku, Bukola Saraki, Ekeremadu, David Mark, Dagora, Diezani, Fayose, FFK, Markafi, Sherrif, Oyegun, Wike, Ben Bruce, Ndoma-Egba, Ben Ayade, Dangote, Donald Duke, Otetola, Owan Enoh, Fashola, Lai Mahummed, Dogara, Amechi, All Ministers, All 36 governors, Igbo, Hausa, Fulani, Yoruba, Ijaw, Urohbo, Itehkiri, Nupe, Tiv, Idoma, Kanuri, Efiks and other tribes top leaders are all the same, these people do travel outside Nigeria almost every month, they are educated and have seen good lives and environments, their kids and families are outside Nigeria enjoying the goodies of Europe, Asia, America and other developed nations but we are here fighting each other.
Imagine, after commenting here on Facebook you will go home the same without any change in your life, without a job, even with a job which is not secured, no good road, no good schools, no good hospitals, no good environments, no employment, while those leaders are enjoying and looting our God given natural resources.
Let me ask you Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa and others; have you seen any of their children commenting on Facebook or reading your comments, No! You can’t ‘cos they see us as ordinary people. Let’s unite, love ourselves, live in peace, lend a helping hand to one another and move this great country ahead. Let’s forget tribalism it won’t help us, let’s forget religion as it will not do us good, rather let’s think how we can better our country as we have no other country except Nigeria.
Every religion preaches peace, love and harmony so why are we fighting each other, why are we killing ourselves, why the hatred. Why all this agitation of secession. Stop it today and think “what can I do to make my country a better place. Tell yourself today NIGERIA FIRST BEFORE TRIBE, I AM A NIGERIAN.
Sing the national anthem today and tell yourself I believe in One Nigeria. No leader since the inception of democracy is better than another, check from OBJ to GEJ and now to Buhari, No electricity, no good roads, no good education, no shelter, no employment, nothing is moving in Nigeria and yet instead of us the youth forming an alliance to stop all this we are here accusing one another.
We have crude oil in abundance, we have agriculture, we have fertile land, we have coal, we have gold, God blessed Nigeria with the whole mineral resource on earth but yet after 56 years we are still backward, nothing to show for it. Ok, lets skip off the Military Rule and count from 1999 to date, we are still backward, instead of our leaders developing our country, they are busy looting our resources and using it to develop other countries, and some youths will protest to support their action all in the name of tribalism or religion. People we voted to rule us are now against us, we the youths are at the receiving end and we are here hating, insulting and inciting one another.
Together we can make Nigeria a better nation. Igbo is no better than Hausa or is Hausa better than Igbo, Yoruba is not better than any tribe likewise no tribe is better than one another. Christian, Muslim, traditionalist, pagan —all we want is peace, good governance, what will you achieve if Nigeria breaks up, tell me, the ruling class will still be ruling.
I believe in Nigeria, I love Nigeria, if you believe in Green White Green, lets create a platform to fight for good governance, stop corruption, good education, employment, let’s make a move now and decide our future… We're better together as Nigerians. God bless all.
