Letter to the president



Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...I was about 17 years old during the Nigerian Civil War. My youth was scandalised, and since then, I have carried a big scar in my heart. All I saw around me then was blood, death, and hunger. That war, which could have been avoided, was a collateral damage for easterners.Mr. President Sir, most Nigerians are hopeless, helpless, fearful, aggrieved and have been brutalised by poverty created by the status quo. When you came on board, I had hoped that yours would be a government that would assist the ordinary people; a government that would turn round the economy and put smiles on the faces of Nigerians.
No, I don’t blame you for the woes that have befallen us, but, truth be told, you have so far spent too much time passing the buck than actually serving the people.

I remember it was your wife who first cried out that you had been surrounded by very suspicious people who didn’t really care about Nigeria or you.  Sir, as a father, please do something to calm down this rising tension.
Right now, it is clear that we are in a big mess. And sometimes, I wonder if you understand how difficult it is for the masses to cope. People even from your village have complained to us (OurMumuDonDo movement); from Sokoto to Owerri, Benue to Delta. There is hunger everywhere, young people are committing suicide, yet the legislators and executives still maintain their obnoxious lifestyles.
There is so much I want to say as a very frustrated Nigerian, but for now what is uppermost in my heart is to plead with you to intervene in this “Operation Python Dance.” Baba, you should be committed to dousing tensions and promoting peace and unity.
Inasmuch as I am aware that the Federal Government is concerned about curbing divisive messages and inordinate agitations within the country, I believe it should be more concerned about safeguarding the lives and properties of all Nigerians in any part of the country.
It is also important to note that though recanted, the October 1 ultimatum issued by some northern youths to the Igbo in the North remains weighty in the minds of many.
Sir, suffering Nigerians are begging you to quell this tension. During The Resume or Resign peaceful protest, Baba, you listened, and that’s why you came back.
On behalf of all frustrated, hopeless, unsafe, hungry Nigerians, I beg you, hear our prayer. As a father, show some compassion and give us hope that this too shall pass away.
I am proud to say that I am discovering exceptional youths who are inflamed by love of fatherland, angered at the rape of our dignity and prosperity, determined to rise up and hold one another, to march down and uphold the dignity and prosperity of all Nigerians.
