I was in Uyo 2weeks ago..u will shed tears for them.

Massive unemployment.the youths sit to play draft on a working day.the girls have slept in all the hotels.
I even went to Tropicana and for the first time in my life,I was sweating in the cinema whilst watching John wick 4.(and we were only Abt 15 persons watching).they cannot even afford the 3k to watch it.
they even took light three times and the movie had to be start afresh on one ocassion.inside the mall,the acs are not cooling.a terrible experience.
The politicians are the richest in the state..u know what that means.
infact they give NEPA light one hour three times a day.1 hr by morn,1 hr by evening and 1 hr by 2am.
Leave propaganda those guys are really suffering.
The aircraft I took to uyo and back was relatively empty..the average akwa ibomite cannot cough out 65k to fly one-way.

Look at the colorized photos above carefully,both sides of the road,do you see any sign of prosperity?

Nb...I stayed for 1 month

A STING ON THE SCROTUM: HOW THEY BETRAYED US.
N40M OR N100M, IS THIS A JUST FOR A COMMON WORKING-CLASS NIGERIAN ASPIRING FOR THIS POSITION?
By: Shigaba Victor Meseize
Has Nigeria become a sinking boat or a flying jet? Are we on the favourite side or the wrong side of the dice? Has Nigeria become a comedy skit or a tormenting fancy? These are questions I’m yet to find answers to.
Our political leaders kept telling us (Youths) to climb but they didn’t give us the latter, and when we try to get our ladders to push up they kept dragging us back down. We have every reasons to place our fingers on the trigger to fire when they pass but we chose to place our fingers of the guitar rather than on the trigger. When I say trigger, I never meant the gun trigger, I mean action.
These people had made life and accommodation unaffordable for us in the metropolis, leaving us with no option than to settle in the satellite towns. Yet they kept using their cows to still disturb our peace in the satellite towns we can afford. One think I know is that the Lion might be sleeping, but don’t think it doesn’t have same strength. We are like a sleeping lion and we will soon be fed up.
About a week back has been a dramatic sphere since the announcement of the PDP and APC nomination forms prices, placing it at N40m and N100m respectively. There has been a lot of speculations over this, instead of us to see it as a robbery, unjust, a cheat and an insult to our democracy, we are all busy making fun with it, laughing over it.
This, clearly I see as a total denial for a common working-class man and a young Nigeria youth aspiring for this position under this two parties. This is a total denial of our constitutional right. This should be unacceptable.
These nomination prices is a cause of alarm, a threat to us the youths in particular. The fact is that no youth would want to use such huge amount of money to buy a nomination form in the midst of those godfathers.
A youth who can beat his or her chest to buy a form with such amount could end up under EFCC investigation. We have seen it in the past. They believe no youth makes legitimate money anymore in this country yet they fail to investigate those political fathers how they made their money.
How much does an average Nigeria man earns to obtain a form worth such amount? When I wrote ‘Our Happiness Doesn’t Matter and Why They Rejected Us’ the last time, some thought it was just a writing fancy to sell talent. One thing I want everyone to have in mind is that I don’t write to sell talent or to be praised. I write to speak out.
In the article ‘Our Happiness Doesn’t Matter’ I stated clearly that when the time comes they will all come with a deception of supporting the youth’s ambition to run for presidency which all played out few months ago. But in other to kill this ambition they impose N40m and N100m for nomination forms.
Does our happiness really matter to them? I don’t think so. Happy or not, none matter to them. What they are concerned about is power. These people are power-hungry, they are money-hungry. They are desperate for power, they want this power either legally or otherwise.
Our innocent looks, ignorance, behaviour and gentlemanliness has caused us a lot of harm in this nation than good. We have succumb too much to pressure. We keep on smiling and enduring pains beyond measure. Despite knowing that there are lots of skeletons in the cupboards, we still strive to push forward. But I think every pain has its limit and end. The time has come to end this pain, to end this suffering.
What does placing a nomination form in such a higher price means? This means that person receiving legitimate salary cannot vie for a position of leadership in this nation. How many youths can afford this? How many common men out there can afford this? What does this imply to our democracy? What does this imply to the future of the country? What do we expect from a man who would pay such huge amount of money to obtain that form?
To me, I think this is like buying the whole position with such amount and not about voting. Someone buying a form with such amount would have it in mind that he’s buying that position with his money and not the voting system.
To achieve this their ambitions, very soon we will start seeing them buying corns (Maize) from roadside sellers and chewing them from one streets to another with us during campaign just to claim humility, kindness and humbleness. We would soon start seeing them visiting hospitals, IDP camps, Orphanage houses to claim they really care. Some would be seen plaiting women’s hair, learning phones and other gadgets repairs, visiting roadside mechanics and helping them pour engine oils inside vehicles. Some would be seen in IDP camps eating and dinning with children. Some would soon be coming to the streets with trays of groundnuts, hawking. Some would start drinking garri without sugar, groundnut or kulikuli. Some will start posing on tattered mattresses, some inside BRT buses.
But the question is. Where was the humbleness when it wasn’t time for elections? Where is the humbleness after the elections? And where is the humbleness after serving their tenures?
It is time to be wise. A time not to let a thousand naira destroy thousands lives and properties.
We need people who have robust experience to steer the affairs of this nation and not people who are power-thirsty. We need people who can sustain their contributions to women and youth empowerment across the nation through various humanitarian initiatives. 
Weak leadership has caused us too much pains and deaths and also responsible for lack of democratic dividends in Nigeria. We need people who can change the fortunes of Nigeria by bringing on board purposeful, credible, responsive and people oriented leadership that will meet the yearnings and aspirations of Nigerians.
We need people who are connected to the people at the grassroots and do understand their pains and endurance not only during the electioneering periods but before and after the elections.
How long are we going to realize that we are tired? We can’t continue enduring the pain of this stings on our scrotums.
Shun Ethnic Differences.
Shun Religion Sentiment.
Arise Nigeria
Arise Youths.
