I must admit, this lockdown had a toll on me and has made me vulnerable for a while in the sense that, I have been thinking more about Nigeria and it has made me seen the worst of the worst Nigeria has to offer. Nigerian issue is one thing I have always avoided, I have trained my mind to see the best in Nigeria. I have been doing my best trying not to let the corruptible system get to me. I have been working double hard trying not to let the corruption and the high level of incompetence within the system get to me. But with the recent activities happening within the last few days has got me thinking, this is something I have been avoiding for a long time. But I guess the lockdown has its ups and down and boredom breeds other unforeseen circumstances.
One thing I can tell you is, every Nigerian seems to know the problem of Nigeria, in fact, we all always have ready-made brilliant solutions to the problems of this country, but for some reasons best known to us, we are not just ready to do the right thing.
With the latest news coming out of Nigeria I can’t help it, they got to me deeply
a. The USA returned 300 Million Dollars Abacha loot, So far they have been able to recover over $4.6 billion From Abacha alone, and there are still more. So that means, as, at 1998, Abacha was already a billionaire in Dollars from Nigeria loot. Before then other military rulers had run Nigeria dry and their loots haven’t been recovered to date.
b. Nigeria has less than 500 ventilators in the entire country. that means more than half of it might not be working and some might have been stolen or never supplied.
c. How some of our leaders defiled the lockdown procedure which led to the global spread of the virus and nobody held anybody responsible for those actions.
d. And many more stories from the length and breadth of the nation.
e. How Nigeria didn’t have money and resources to fight the pandemic and how money was donated and we still couldn’t get ventilators.
All this news really got to me thinking and wondering whats the fate of a Nigerian citizen. So in other to get my mind preoccupied, I decided to travel the world via the internet.
So for some reason, I have been researching about Dubai, maybe because I was bored or I had planned to visit Dubai before this Pandemic, I still plan to visit once this pandemic is over. So if you’d like us to go together, do not hesitate to send a message. So I decided to research the places I will visit in Dubai. I got so excited I decided to write about the beautiful places to visit in Dubai once this lockdown is over. See the post here.
Halfway through my writeup, I felt teary, I was almost weeping viewing the beautiful images of this modern city. I am hardly emotional. I read how the Dubai visionary leadership have contributed immensely to the development of this great city and one thought keep coming through my mind, I kept asking what have we done to deserve the kinds of Leaderships we have in Nigeria?
I decided to take a break, I can’t be caught crying. I decided to compare this great city with the giant of Africa.
As John Maxwell said, everything rises and falls on leadership. Dubai has great and innovative leaders who have the interest of their people at heart. On the other hand, Nigeria has been unlucky with good leaders who are either selfish or do not have the interest of the people at heart.
What are your thoughts on this and what do you think Nigeria can do to make a difference.
