In 2013, I was in Egbe, Yagba West Local Government Area of Kogi State for a job. When I was there, logging was a booming trade. Popularly called "Madrin" the youths in the land had no other job than logging of Rosewood. However, before I left that place, there was a decline in the trade as these people continued to cut down their trees without thinking of planting. When there was more wood to cut, some took to okada riding, while those who were used to the easy money that used to come their way saw crime as an alternative.
The story of Egbe people shows the general outlook of the average Nigerian. We just wan t to satiate the cravings of the moment and forget that tomorrow will come bearing the seeds that we sowed today or failed to sow.
