Why I regret campaigning for Change- Opinion by Nobody: 4:35am On Jul 07, 2015 |
It is about time every right thinking Nigeria begin to think of an alternative country to live in. Apart from the civil war, the last 6 years have been an unending war in Nigeria. How can any sane person think of building a future in a country where your life can be cut short at any moment? How can you call a country home where you cannot even succeed financially and walk the streets freely, or even have your family walk freely. A good example is my dear friend Chimamanda the whole world celebrates, yet her country rewarded her by kidnapping her father. Or is it Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala who was rewarded by kidnapping her 82 year old fragile mom. Or is it the professor that was rewarded by being brutally murdered in the comfort of his home? Why should any sane person keep thinking of living in Nigeria, when they campainged for CHANGE, when all the get is mass killings every other day? We do not blame PMB for the menace taking place in Nigeria, why should we even blame him? the travails of this country has really eaten deep. Why should anyone be proud of Nigeria, when Femi Fani-Kayode or is it Olukayode announed to the whole world that he will now be going abroad for his long over due medical checkup. Do we even have hospitals that can take care of anything anymore? Why should anyone keep dreaming of an illusionary Nigerian dream, when if the President gets a heart attack he will die within hours, for their is no hospital in the whole country with a standard ICU and with capabilities for cardiac stenting or catheterization. A country where dead people lie on the street of Lagos, with no scintilla of help or emergency services by state! A country where people empty their account just go give birth "abroad" and make their children escape the horrors and de nove disadvantage of being a full Nigerian citizen. A country where mass killings have been made the norm with no state official commenting on over 500 innocent souls that have been killed in the past one month. A country despite the massive potentials and wealth still wallows in disease, corruption, kidnapping, poverty and everything bad. Truth be told, Nigeria has become a sinking ship, and needs to drown or fall off the cliff and then rebuilt again. For our youths to reach their full potential it is imperative for them to have their own revolution! Or at least start thinking of the nearest next African country to call home. Nigeria is a cooking hallogen gas in a hot air ballon that is about to pop and kill. It is coming, it must come, it is here! In summary, I hate Jonthan, I will give PMB a chance to save this sinking ship. Nevertheless, I won't have campainged for CHANGE but for a massive revolution. -CramJones 92 Likes 11 Shares |

I kind of agree with you. Seriously, the more you look at it the more you see how hopeless the situation is. Nigeria is simply too big and diverse for her own good. Available evidence have shown, that this marriage of unequal partners and perhaps force integration was to facilitate British administrative purposes. We have all seen the aftermath of this colonial error which was promoted after independence by our own ingenious compradoes. Our very security apparatus in the country have been compromised or failed depicting a clear case of a fail-state. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. I doubt any of our forefathers would've agreed to this relationship if they knew Nigeria would turn out like this. I truly feel sorry for buhari. His hands are tied Nigerians have seen it all. 63 Likes 8 Shares |

In summary, I hate Jonthan, I will give PMB a chance to save this sinking ship. Nevertheless, I won't have campaigned for CHANGE but for a massive revolution.What kind of contradictory and hypocritical statement is this? You no longer believe in the Change you campaigned for (because you are beginning to see that those who promised it were insincere) but you still choose to hate Jonathan. Is Buhari not the one who promised change but has instead started on a very poor note in that regard? I see that you are just trying not to fall out of favour with your fellow change agents. Going by Buhari's campaign promises, we expected that he would hit the ground running but alas, the reverse is the case (The only thing we see is this 'slow motion without audio' approach from him) Buhari is writing his own history and everything that has happened since May 29 will forever be recorded as events that occurred under his watch and his inactions so far (which have cost us a lot) will not easily be forgotten. 230 Likes 26 Shares |

cramjones: Fellow Compatriot, The only way out is the outright dissolution of Nigeria. Sincerely speaking, this is the bitter truth. We are not one as a people and can never be one, the earlier we all realize this fact the better for us all in this Country.. Sometimes people get along better being apart than being together.. You really need to live overseas to truly know that Nigeria is a failed and a demonic place to live in. Nigeria is a failed project, Biafra or no Biafra, we all need to go our own ways.. It's already more than a 100yrs of us being together as a Country and we still can't get things right. So better we all try being apart. My take !!! 135 Likes 9 Shares |

you don't fix things by breaking it more. that is totally going to shatter Nigeria. the problems we face as a nation only resulted from decades of corruption. there are many other countries with more diverse ethnicities yet they found a way to coexist with each other. what we need do is be more tolerant of each other and end corrupting. bright87: 9 Likes 2 Shares |

Well, when things expire, it starts going from worse to worst and becomes a killer agent. 1914-2014, Nigeria has expired, kill yourself for one Nigeria, na u suffer am. Make no mistake, for killing 3.5million civilians and pretending like e never happen, karma is already hitting. Don't think Nigeria will ever be good. U can insult me as u like, but as long as u don't have good water or constant electricity, u are not gainfully employed, u can't afford good health care. If u retire at night, heat and mosquito will distress u. U can't afford to eat 3 square meals balanced meal consecutively for long, u can't have good justice system. U can't even access loan nor mortgage easily So if u cant do nor have any or all these, in this 21century, and u are jumping up and down shouting "One Nigeria", then I guess you are even worse than a baboon or monkey. Baboons are at the top tho, monkeys are under the table, jumping about looking for banana, in this case, crumplets and pieces of left over items like the paid e-Rats, twitter warlords and jobless non-entitles all over the entire Nigerian webspace.

Good luck is responsible for this. He didn't take BH seriously. He allowed them to blossom and got deeply rooted in the country. How do we expect PMB to just decimate them in just a month? When GEJ led army was supposed to annihilate the insurgents, they were showing us footage of how BH members were running away. They got integrated into the society and are now blowing everyone up. GEJ is the worst thing to have happened to Nigeria but God willing, we shall prevail over the enemies. To hell with Biafra, cant wait to see their backs. 12 Likes |

You are just a self serving attention seeking dolt. Your antics here have still not gotten you a piece of the 'PIE' won't you just give up already? You do not blame PMB for any of the atrocities happening around us, yet you find it very convenient to lay the blame elsewhere right? Yes, GEJ is responsible for all of Nigeria's problems since I960, we know. But recent events unfolding in this country will determine how posterity will Judge all our Leaders. But you are just a mere washed out critic whose shenanigans are so so lopsided and warped that no sane person takes you seriously.

I don’t regret that GEJ is away from power. It was a task way above his mental capacity. Hence, I have no regrets concerning the change. However, I would prefer a swift approach to correcting the maladministration of the past 16 years. 3 Likes |

Change agents abounds. I love change cos it's a constant thing; however lasting change in the country does not lie with APC or PDP cos we have a lot of agents of darkness in their helm of affairs? Permanent and lasting change comes from the Almighty God alone through men and women that fears Him. Nigeria shall surely reap the benefits of change irrespective of what the devil is doing.

Fear of God is long gone in Nigeria. For someone to deliberately come online knowing his/her post or comment will breed hate and distrust amongst citizens and still go on to post do it; tells a lot about the lack of fear and respect for his creator. NL will be why a lot of people may go to hell. Except someone is saying our post on the Internet is not taking into account by our creator. 15 Likes 2 Shares |
