NIGERIA AT A GLANCE: Challenges and Prospects [An Independence Letter to Nigerian Youths]

There is nothing wrong with Nigeria! Of course we have got it wrong, as a result of poor incompetent mismanagement of those rotten apples, that are in charge of our affairs! There has been an Agricultural land called Nigeria for thousands of years. It has been existed before the stone ages, before the Civilisation of Egypt, Greek and Rome. We are almost civilised before 1914 amalgamation of Northern and Southern protectorates under the canopy of gree-white-green. That was Nigerian existence when there is no cars on the roads or flight in the sky!

Historically, we are fundamentally good peoples! We have our own value, cultures, customs, religions, leadership, leadership, Civilisation, industries, schools, literacy, roads, clothes, foods, mineral resources, raw materials and all and all. We have our own independent and reliable development. Here we are in the precolonial, colonial and post colonial regimes, before the adoption of this dirty American and Britannic DEMOCRATIZATION! I repeat in tears; "in Democracy our Political Science died!" In the past Nigerian era, we have no Ethnicity, Religious bigotry and Political Inclinations. They were all adopted equally likely with DEMOCRACY. May Allah judge this Democracy!

Sadly, local shinkafa [RICE] is now adding a fuel to the fire of artificially abject poverty we are all suffering! Boko Haram dramatic plot  is daily hiding the true color of the chameleon in Borno state. Masses killing and kidnapping in Sokkwoto, Zamfara and Katsina is daily adding an uncertain assumption of sustainable peace and harmony in the North. Our hospitals and health care units in both rural and urban areas are mostly spreading communicable diseases in the community! Death of Pregnant mothers and born babies is yearly getting worst than any country or society in the history of mankind. No water resources, no standard electricity, no roads, no security, no food, no any other social amenity at all levels! Schools from Nurseries through to universities remain closed for more than 6 months. No body has yet attempt to think, none of this big fishes, cockroaches and Rwandan tall trees is working  to change the situations and hardship! They are competing in travels to foreign countries for Education and Medicine, passing by our dirty roads in the luxuriant American Hummer cars.

My fellow Nigerians, Nigerian is our alma mater! We are Nigerians, and fundamentally good. To guarantee the potential greatness and recapitalization, reformation and rebuilding of our diversity, Nigeria we must turn over a new leaf! I don't care whether you are a Muslim from Kano or a Christian from Enugu. Let us work out for Nigeria. Let us create a rational Nigeria, a truly 'Giant of Africa' that will cut across Religion and Tribal boundaries. An independent Nigeria that say no to: Insecurity in the society, corruption in economy, immorality in the community, rigging in the election, unemployment, drug abuses, sodomy, adultery, prostitution, homosexuality, lesbianism, raping, rumor mongering, back biting character assassination, gender defamation, Politics of hypocrisy and all habits of backwardness!

I'm strongly believe that; is we can change our bad omens according to Qur'an and Bible, if we can change ourselves from basic levels; then we are nearly to change these bad leadership and hardship in Nigeria. May Allah protect Nigeria from disintegration. May Allah bless our motherhood. Thank you all!
