Nigeria At 60

Our leaders have stolen with impunity ,greed corruption indiscipline selflessness, is the order of the day.

Nigeria has nothing to show for the many years of its oil boom.

Nigerians are deprived of basic needs water, light, food ,health care, education and housing.

Yet the poor seem afraid and remain docile waiting ,just waiting for a change that never seems to come.

The problem with our people is their backs are not totally against the wall, only when ones back is against the wall does one begin to push forward, those who claim to fight for the masses, do not understand what poverty is, and those who are poor, as church rats , do not really understand politics, because the state of poverty they find themselves ,does not allow them to see what lies ahead, all they care about , is how to survive another day.

Those who claim to see ahead are not willing to jeopardize their positions, less they find themselves as poor as the people they claim to be fighting for, what a sad vicious cycle. Until the masses are educated to understand the political arena they are in, and become fearless, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, as they survive as best as they can.

60 years later the majority of Nigerians are still just surviving not really living their best lives.
