rapper Olanrewaju Ogunmefun, ‘Vector’, in protest of the
planned data rate hike enforced by the Nigerian
Communications Commission (NCC) .

Dear Federal Government,

You have come a long way with your policies and rule.
You have concerned yourself with nothing but the present
hence making it look like the constitution has to be
remixed and renamed “Your WILL” before your demise.
You have ignored the children you saw grow and focused
on the ones from your sperm cells and ovulation that you
aren’t seeing grow because they have been shipped off to
“better grounds” for education. You have put your wives
in other rooms BUT that of importance forgetting (if you
married a good woman) they balance you when you go
astray.

You have failed to embrace the spirit and letter of
the Almighty you worship be it any religion. You have
failed the man you see in d mirror because he isn't a
beast or metaphysical being you don’t understand. No, He
is the posterboy/girl for greed.


You have forgotten how you felt when you were coming up but remember this…
you will not forget how you fall. Your money… my bad…
our money you take will shame you when you need it the
most. The hustling are finding ways to be better but you
just want to take from them without giving back.

You focus on chasing thieves but never focus on securing the vault they steal from. In the history of our existence as a generation, we have never gotten levelled platforms to
play as we have gotten with the internet. The people have
become more exposed to business ideas, global news,
information sharing from continent to continent between
seconds. Industry has gotten global awareness because
of this.

Music has started to look better just because with data
you can put up your craft be it music or painting or write
ups or poems or comedy or pets or life to make people
happy in a steady sinking world of frustrating conflicting
governance and hustle.


You concern yourself with your perceived negatives over
the objective positives. You are killing the future of
Nigeria. You are killing the future of Nigeria. Internet is
almost free in a lot of “advanced” countries too. Be
careful Nigeria… don’t ruin yourself. DON’T!!!
