Are Nigerians Rejoicing Or Lamenting? by aiikay(m): 7:31pm On Feb 14, 2016
Ordinarily one would think that lamentation is entirely the
opposite of rejoicing, but to distinguish between the two, as regards the words coming out of many Nigerians, has been a bit difficult to some concerned individuals lately. The only thing clear is, supposedly though, the wide blame of the current worsening economic situation of the country on the government of President Mohammadu Buhari. The confusion remains that some are expressing so with utter disappointment and lamentation, while some others are doing so with utmost happiness.


It is quite worrisome that almost 10 months after the 2015
General Elections, politicians are still confusing us like
before. Please for God’s sake, elections were long over;
campaigns ended long ago; winners and losers emerged.
And the outcome cannot be reversed, apart from the usual
court drama, until the year 2019. Both parties should
therefore face the current problems squarely, if at all they
ever had at least 10% of our interest at heart.


It is as if we don’t remember that the current economic
quagmire has little or no significant effect to our
politicians. They still receive huge salaries and allowances;
they still embezzle like before! In fact, they already have
more than enough even for the next generations. How then
will they be affected when a dollar is far above N 300?
Nigerians should instead pray for Nigeria even as we play
our own part. We should pray for our leaders too. It does
not matter whether you supported PDP or APC, sorry GEJ or GMB. We are the ones at the receiving end. I was a proud
supporter of GEJ, and it would not be wise for me not to
pray and desire for things to be better, no matter who’s in
charge. Nothing should deter us from that, not even the
numerous blames and counter blames.


Even as we detest anybody rejoicing that things are not
getting better as we hoped, we should also vehemently
condemn any form of post-election campaigns, be it from
party A or B. The government of the day should catch the
bull by the hone. They should run away from appealing to
pity, but rather appeal to our conscience by striving to do
the things promised.


The government of APC has both the mouse, keyboard,
screen and CPU to restore or reinstall whatever
applications that have been deleted from the Nigeria
System. They are already in possession of both the yam
and knife. A farmer with a new cutlass cannot keep
complaining of its bluntness when new files are also within
his reach. A man who struggled to possess a stream
should not complain endlessly that the stream is dirty;
there’s enough water within to afford the best cleaning.


In essence, of all that has been looted , let the looting be
discontinued and the recovered never be re-looted! We are
already tired of media prosecution alone. Prove to us the
accusations that are true, and maybe we will be convinced
that there’s no intent toe the same part.
