Nigeria the great nation, the giant of Africa. It saddens when I listen to the news and hear the dollar-naira issue or the issue of unstable economy. This issue like we all know has caused a great increase in the prices of goods, even those whose price was as low as #5 before and this has brought up the question about the government's efficiency. We push the blame to the wrong persons instead of ourselves, yeah they have a part too but we, the mass, the electorate, carry the highest. Yes, you ask- how did it come to this? How and why won't it come to this, it is our self tailored fate, self approved problem. We signed it ourselves. A house not standing as one will surely fall- it has been right from time, the only time we stood as one was during the struggle for independence'. Ethnicity, inequalities of all forms, discrimination and the likes have eaten deep into us.
It has been right from time: right from the slave trade- though that can be blamed on our ignorance, to modern slavery and unconscious subjection- leaving here to go work over there, importing goods and services, and the likes. There was this post that I read recently, it was about how we ignorantly or say intentionally help improve other countries' economy, leaving ours to dwindle. If there's a list of people that complain the most, Nigerians will hold the first position; they complain about everything- the government, home-made goods and services, and even about themselves; we use our way of lives to devalue our currency, goods, resources, and so on, and we still think a better life can come from that. You show the effort before others contribute theirs- investors won't come because they know what is at stake. Nigerians are the cause of their numerous problems, it's no colonialist. Unemployment, increased crime rate, and a lot more are all results of our unconscious actions. All the things we do in the s we do in the name of wanting the best is degrading and devaluing our 'less'.
To some people, it's a curse but a man can't be forced to change; Nigeria can't be better unless we all put our mind and body to work, not making 'mouth-set' but mindset because this dwindling economy is our respective faults. It starts from the people before it gets to the government, or what use is the government's efforts if the people ain't ready to make it work. For all this to end, we all must put God first then Nigeria, before ourselves.
