How not to live is to love your country when it means nothing to the millions of people you share the country with. It's unfortunate but I love this country, it's a scar I will take with me for like. The lack of priorities and focus hurts me, but then, what can a man do?
A life unexamined is not worth living, perfectly describe the way Nigerians have misplaced priorities as regards interest. We can blame Buhari every morning but as individuals, we are all guilty of how the ship of nationhood is sinking, every one of us.
Interview a million Nigerians & what their interest is, will shock you. Only 3 out that 1million believe in collective interest. 70% of that 1million won't even know the meaning of collective interest. If we've no idea what collective interest is, how can we prosper as a nation?
For 60years, Nigerians still don't know that education should be the first collective interest that any nation should have? We still at around and goof when the issue of education is discussed. Every year our illiteracy level keeps rising then we wonder why poverty increases?
The truth is, Nigeria is not ready for new economy phase that the world has entered. We are still stuck in mercantilism when the world has moved to an era of specialization as a means of finding new markets. We need to change our to life in Nigeria, if we don't , nothing changes.
