Merry Christmas Nigeria!

At least Nigerians never have to worry about christmas presents...we get one every year. Of course, you tend to get what you deserve as a present! In this case, it is the double whammy of Yaradua and Jonathan as the next Big men in Nigeria!! What does one do in circumstances like these? It is no use ranting on how dire it has all turned out because we all knew it was coming. As i read the paper this morning, i was seething with anger! I was so angry i was close to tears! As i walked through the university this morning (i have to clear my essays before i go home for christmas), i saw the graduation parade and amongst them...a host of Nigerians. Within the group, i spotted the boys that i have been told are jonathan's sons! As i saw them, everything slowed down and became dim. I suddenly imagined myself running madly towards them and hitting them for every pensioner that has died and all the other ills of the society. Of course, i didn't! I walked on still fuming into the library and got on with my work. This is what we do as Nigerians. The certain passivity that allows us (all of us) to watch on whilst our futures are continually ruined. Of course, it would be naive not to point out that the resident population have been numbed to such thoughts either by hunger, stupidity, both and more.
What is to become of us?
