A Crown On A Clown by sagitariusbaby(m): 8:17am On Oct 05, 2017
U CANNOT PUT A CROWN ON A CLOWN AND EXPECT A KING....

History Being Repeated?
.
In 1983:
.
$1 = N 1
£1 = N2
Volkswagen Beetle = N1,400
Foods were in abundance
Kids were in school
Businesses were booming with vibrant
economy and people were gainfully
employed.
No illegal arrest or media trial.
Rule of law was maintained.
.
On 31 December, 1983, he and his criminal
gang struck with the excuse of tackling
widespread corruption and within few
months,
.
$1 = N15
£1 = N40
Volkswagen Beetle = N8, 000
Kids dropped out of school because their
parents couldn't afford their school fees
anymore.
Businesses closed down.
Foods were rationed as people queued up
for essential commodities.
Many Nigerians lost their jobs because the
economy collapsed.
Innocent Nigerians were arrested for free
speech and human rights violated with
impunity.
The Constitution was suspended.
.
He blamed Alh. Shagari's govt for this mess.
He blamed corruption, yet he jailed Dr. Alex
Ekwueme (the Vice President) but left
Shagari (the president) in his palace.
.
But when another gang threw him out, and
within few months, Nigerians started
smiling again. Our kids returned to school,
food was in abundance again, Nigerians got
their jobs back and the economy was
revived etc.
.
In 2015:
.
$1 = N175-190
£1 = N289-320
Cars were affordable with local
manufacturers smiling to the bank.
Food was in abundance (at least a bag of
rice was N7, 000)
Kids were in school
Businesses were booming with vibrant
economy, no illegal arrest or media trial.
.
On 29 May, 2015 when he was 'jega-ed' into
power:
.
$1 = N315-510
£1 = N550-610
Local car manufactures shut down their
plants due to harsh economic condition.
Famine was unleashed on Nigerians and a
bag of rice rose to N22, 000/27, 000 while
minimum wage remains N18, 000.
Kids dropped out of school.
Businesses closed down, millions lost their
jobs and inflation is in double digits.

Just like in 1985, he's blaming corruption
and his predecessor for the same mess he
created within few months of assumption
of office.

Seriously? Someone likely a youth typed this whole stuff to point out the failures of a president. Let me tell you op, this is just the beginning of tough/difficult time in Nigeria and Africa at large. Oh! Our ancestors have failed. Yes! What about it? They have failed and we know, we can insult them or lament because of their failure but that matters not. We are always quick to talk,judge,insult and criticize people. Most nigerian youths now are now activist. Fella Kuti talked,talked and talked. Many people see him as a role model. But, what is the effect of Felas action on our world now? What change or improvement did he bring to our nation? The answer is NOTHING. He just made noise and die the way many of us are making now. The question we should ask ourselves is "How can I help my country to be better?" rather than making noise everywhere. Many of us envy USA but forgot that it was not always like this. The efforts and work of Americans is what made USA great and will make her the greatest name ever mentioned on Earth. As at 2017,we still follow the ways of our failed ancestors. Our problem now is not just the presidency, it is all of us.
