A NIGERIAN DREAM
I got this from a friend on facebook some days back and I have never stopped thinking about it. can this
Nigeria ever exist?
............................................................................................................
Before going to bed, I had to eat something. I opened the fridge and yes, all the things in my fridge
had turned to block; the light had been on for 8 years without going off. I finished eating and went to
bed. Oh I have to reduce the speed of this fan, the voltage is so high. I woke up very early in the morning
to the sound O̶̲̥̅̊f̶̲̥̅̊ classical music.
I casually strolled into the bathroom. Oh! the cold is too much this morning, I turned on The hot-water
tap. While toweling myself dry, I turned on the radio and heard the presenter speaking about Nigeria, how
she is now one of the most developed countries in the world and how the Nigerian president
yesterday declared his asset and all he had to boast of was N20 million naira and a duplex in his village. I
finished dressing up and took my time to eat. I had no reason to rush, after-all the roads are always free
and there are no potholes. On the way, I saw a few policemen patrolling, and I greeted them. I stopped to
chat with them for a few minutes after which I drove off laughing.
At my workplace, I saw some people loitering in the waiting room and discovered they were here to be
interviewed. I saw the son of the permanent secretary. I also saw a young man with tattered shoes and
patched-up trouser; he graduated recently from one of the government universities, but everyone could
testify to the fact that he's brilliant. While going home that day, I saw the man with the tattered shoes
again, he was smiling and I asked him why. "Sir, I've been given the job." he said, "What! What of the
Permanent secretary's son, didn't his father call beforehand?" "No" the man said, "He didn't"
That evening, I went out to play in the neighborhood, I saw Adamu and Obinna discussing the recent trend
in the country, of how Mallam Danjuma is now the governor of Rivers state, Senator Abifarin Oluwafemi is
now the governor in Borno state, Mr Chijioke Godffrey is now the governor of Oyo state. I decided that
since I had a lot of time on my hands, I should make a quick stop in the hospital to make a few checkups.
I went to the Cancer treatment Hospital, after making sure I was cancer-free, i visited the HIV/AIDS
Checkup Centre and I was well attended to; with world-class equipments. I even saw the mother of the
vice-president there. From there, I saw Hope of Salvation Church and Egbe Alasalatu Islamic house holding
a joint prayer for continuous peace in the community. I saw the pastor and Imam consulting on the prayer
points. I stayed for a few minutes before leaving
The next morning, I tried to make some calls, but I couldn't find my phone. I took my wife's phone and
saw tons of messages sent from my phone asking me to call back, that my phone was found on the road.
I hurriedly called my phone back and got a man on the line. He told me he had been calling my
wife's number since yesterday night but that she wasn't picking her calls. I apologized and told him that
she put her phone in silent to avoid disturbances while sleeping. I went to reclaim my phone, I thanked the
man and offered him a few naira, but he rejected it saying, I shouldn't worry.
Since it was election time, I went to the polling booth nearest to me to carry out my constitutional duties.
I saw only people of voting age there, everywhere was peaceful and the security agents there were merely
putting up appearances as they were just chatting with the voters. I voted for the candidate of my choice
and left. The next morning, I heard that the election results were out and that the runners-up and winner
were having lunch together. I turned on my T.V set and saw for myself, in fact, they weren't just eating, a
healthy conversation was going on. The winner of the presidential election asked the runners-up to advice
him as to how to effectively run the country and they all sat together to discuss on how to sustain the
massive success the country has been witnessing.
The next day, the foreign media said that the American president has laid some rules down for Nigeria to
follow, failure to do that will amount to severing of diplomatic ties. The Nigerian president replied 30
minutes after, he told the American president to go to hell and that he won't allow his country to be ruled
by foreign and anti-masses policies. I remembered that I hadn't completed my weekly hours of work
mandatory for all Nigerians, I got there and saw the president dusting his trouser, he had just finished
cutting the grass where he was assigned to work. I greeted him and he told me that he's expecting month
end, that his monthly allowance had nearly finished, since he was also collecting the minimum wage being
paid to the workers.
"Hum..." I woke up with a jolt slapping my ears, these mosquitoes again. So I have been dreaming. I was
sweating profusely, there's no light. I stood up to take my bath, no water. I turned on my transistor radio,
I heard them saying Boko haram has started again, and that robbers have killed 13 people. Oh God!
