Nigeria continues to bleed from
the piercing, cruel claws of her sentient venality. In spite of what is read on
the pages of newspaper, the disgusting smell and stench of a dying, or is it
dead economy hits us in the face every day. It is a pricking reality.
Did you vote in last general
election? Unfortunately, your answer, whatever it is, does not vindicate you
neither does it immune you from the harsh reality. We are in it together. This
is why we must all be active and political; we must be part of the process.
The saying that it’s always ugly
before it gets beautiful has been used to justify the characteristic slow pace
of governance of current administration. But beauty, I insist, does not appeal
to the dead. It is the living that appreciates beauty. So, while we still
breath, it is pertinent that we make conscious attempt at inspiring the kind of
change we desire.
