BasketMouth took to his Instagram page this morning to lament on the state of
the nation and how bad it is been handled by our leaders.
His words below...
MY PIECE OF MIND (PART ONE)
As I am learning to stop
complaining and get used to the electricity situation in my beloved Nigeria, i
can't help but worry about other bigger problems facing my country at large.
Once again a land already polluted with blood and oil is reported to be witnessing
beheadings by religious fanatics, murders by herdsmen, and bombing of oil
pipelines by a supposedly impoverished and marginalised deltan posse, let's not
talk about the Biafran agitators, kidnapping and robberies....confusion
everywhere.
I am an entertainer so i
try to leave politics for politicians (cos i believe everybody should maintain
dia own lane).
However I can’t seem to
understand why my beloved country will not intervene to help alleviate the
sufferings and helplessness of its people. When the poor cry for help and are
ignored, it can be a recipe for turmoil and when the rich also cry, can't
afford to travel because flight tickets are out of their reach, can't afford to
eat as they used to and all channels of their lush incomes are closed overnight,
then you begin to sense a whiff of desperation.
The media also reports bias
in the security handling of issues as it affects the North, West, East and
South. In my humble opinion, i do not think it will hurt PMB to address this
issues from time to time as much as he addresses the issue of corruption. It
hurts my senses when i hear people praising the likes of Ayo Fayose or calling
for return of corruption (hard to tell if they are serious or joking) hearing
the soothing voice of our leaders will go a long way in strengthening is as we
plunge further into the unknown.
So in all of these, I am
listening to hear the wise words of President Buhari, I know he has opinions
about all these because i know he reads the papers and he has access to security
reports, but sometimes it's like his media advisers dont get his memo or they
seem to get it a week after he sends it and by which time other depressing
issues have taken over.
This government seem to
have forgotten the power of technology and social media in today's dispensation
and is failing to use the various available platforms to monitor and address
issues weighing its citizens down.
@pmb,@jagaban,@yemiosinbajo,@shehusani,@bukolasaraki,from
councillors through senators to the President,we are all collectively
responsible for what befalls our country.The rest na just land.
