Torrent of help for India is flowing from different parts of the world.  The country has seen the worst spikes in COVID-19 pandemic during this current time.  India has a robust health system and yet still ravaged by the pandemic. The country has an enormous pharmaceutical presence than the whole African continent combined and still became insufficient to tackle the surge in COVID-19. It is interesting to note that the majority of vaccines have been manufactured in India and yet only few jabs have been administered in India; why the contradictory sequence?

The country has had hospital beds being shared by two patients at a time, isn’t that ridiculous? It is ludicrous to imagine that a nation like India that most African nationals throng for affordable health care is having this monumental health crisis.  The amount of capital flight from Africa to India is hugely stunning.



From the foregoing, it is clear that nations around the world have issues, and challenges at different facets of their life. The whole of India is united against COVID-19. I am using this as a precept to juxtapose what Nigerian state is also faced with at the moment. Banditry, abductions and terrorism are seriously creating incohesion and tension in the land.

Elder statesmen from different origins within the country are churning out different thoughts; some are toxic while some are patriotically driven. That is not even the focus here; the focus is what kind of help does this country deserve at this time?  It is understandable that some might use this moment to score cheap political points while neglecting that human lives are involved here. Some have used their God-given conscience to stand with the nation irrespective of their political divide.

Terrorism is a global pandemic as it is; virtually all countries have mechanisms in place to checkmate the influx of the problem into their respective domains. United States of America is the largest spender on war against terrorism in the world and yet, she is still unable to defeat the scourge in the regions she has waged war against it for more than 20 years, why is this so? It is arguably sufficient to assert that the Superpower to a large extent, decimated the trend but it is invariably still lurking behind shadows despite her huge resources committed to it. The question is, why is the menace still prevalent?

Does Nigeria appear to be on the brink of collapse? The materialistic tendencies to this question appear too glaring for discerning minds. During the regime of former President Umaru Musa Yar’dua, the agitators’ noise from the South South was too deafening to be discountenanced hence; he launched massive amnesty programmes, which practically killed the agenda. The economic impacts it portended were too burdensome and yet the government did not have any choice at its disposal other than to accentuate the plan as it were.

The seceding bids from the South West are disorientated but toxic. The South West represents the most educated parts of the country though the vast majority of its people are passively self-absorbed when it comes to Igboho’s clarion call in his futile quest to have ‘Yoruba Nation’ actualized. The agitation is dead on arrival without any equivocation!

As a Nigerian, I am perturbed and baffled at the rate at which the country is being dragged by her people; if she falls down to her knees, do we have anywhere else to go? Yes, the country is being dragged negatively by its people, while others should stand tall and make her overcome the staggering challenges.

At the twilight of Trump’s administration, the country’s Capitol was attacked by a certain mob orchestrated by the outgoing president in a bid to clinch to power by crooked means. Their patriotism was ill conceived though, but it was evident that their love for their country was supreme amidst conspiracy theory advanced by Trump.

As it stands, the similitude of our challenges is akin to a ship having its inhabitants at the lower deck having to depend on the people at the upper deck for water for survival. The lower deck occupants in their wildest thoughts might decide to punch a hole at the bottom to get water instead of having to ask the upper deck occupants. If the upper class passengers were to leave them to actualize this plan, all of them would get drowned.

People of conscience must rise up to the occasion to tame their respective toxic agitators within their region to lower the temperature else the whole country will blow up in pieces. We have no other place to call home other than this country.

As a Nigerian, I have nowhere to call home except this country. I have lived all my life here and I have no need to be a refugee

Abi it should collapse quick sef.

Thank God I'm not a Nigerian, if Nigeria collapse I will carry my back and travel to my biafra land......

Writer is admonishing "leaders and elders" to talk to their People so as to lower the tension in the country!

Everybody wants peace to reign so that his brother in power can loot in peace! No one has taken out time to step out of his comfortable shoes, step into your "fellow country men's" shoes to feel their pain for a split second.... As far as you are concerned, they are either overreacting, getting what they deserve or totally motivated by ethnic hate against the president. Nobody sees the presidents obvious penchant for sectionalism and favoritism and the attendant repercussions...., And that's where the rub is...

The inability of the favoured parts of the country to realize that certain sections of this country are genuinely upset with the status quo, not because of ethnic chauvinism or religious preferences, but because of the need to resist institutional injustices .... , that is the main reason why finding simple solutions to Nigerias obvious problems look intractable most times...

God bless you so much for this contribution, everyone is saying we want peace but none of those hypocrites will ever demand for justice, equity, fairness and development meanwhile the peace we've been having all along is being bastardized by people who call themselves one nigerianist

All I could say is , by the special grace of God this con3 will fall.

I'm not Igbo tho .

The way things are, Only God... Lalasticlala is Nigeria still standing?

A land were the blood of the innocent is spilled on a massive scale is defiled. It will only take the shedding of the blood of the killers to cleanse that land. For this reason, God will destroy Nigeria and the wicked who shed innocent blood. This Fulani regime will be overthrown in a very bloody coup because of they were the people who brought in mercenaries to kill the innocent. The blood of evidence for the defilement of Leah Sharibu will cause the Angel of death to go after the the leaders of the Caliphate.

All these shall happen within 3 months. Our Ahab must fall in Ramoth Gilead, it is already determined. Any person who takes over when our Ahab falls and pretends to be Ahab shall bury all his Children in one day.

Eish!

How long will the nigerian state continue to waste millions of innocent lives just to keep an obviously unworkable hateful union? Nigeria is created and structured to fail there's absolutely nothing anyone can do about it.
