Buhari's Nigeria Not Perfect But Thriving..

I've been saying this for a while that..What the outside world sees is different from what many inhabitants of 🇳🇬 perceive. The international community thinks for the 1st time in decades 🇳🇬 is serious about infrastructural development.

They are selling weapons to us because they trust us more. They are seeing indices that indicate growth. Many of our people are heading international institutions.

Yes there's insecurity..but they see the country getting its act right with prioritizing territorial integrity.

The Boko Haram war is having some serious momentum now...After the army gets it to a manageable level, it will pivot to face the internal security debacle. Yes the police seems to have given way...

...But Buhari in his slow & steady way won't do any rushed half measures, he wants to build that institution from the ground up. The international community knows what it takes to build, appreciates the pains, the contortions, the time it takes.

The recent exit from recession surprised many, it's a testament of some sort. Things are not perfect, nor even seeming to be looking up but the trajectory is upwards nevertheless.

Off course we are sorely annoyed at the Govt, not communicating well, though with hindsight, and scrutiny we can see the building blocks setting up on each other.. NIGERIA is not perfect, will never be.. But it's developing.

It's common place now for students to do all their NYSC process online, Vaccine registration online & many mire. I know those who applied for Covid relief loans and got it without ever leaving home.

People have reasons be angry at Govt for many things but those who step back can see that things are coming up. We must appreciate that at some point sacrifices have to be made to get ahead. I pray the pain will not be in vain.

We pray the internal security matter will be curtailed as soon as possible. May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
