ASUU’S LINGERING STRIKE ACTION IN A COUNTRY OF PLENTY. Contd.

Now back to the strike action, imagine were our legislators collect HARDSHIP ALLOWANCE amongst other senseless allowances they collect.  What! HARDSHIP ALLOWANCE! Seriously? All this is going on in the midst of poverty and pain in the land. They collect all these allowances and added to their armed robber salaries which are raised to the power of 10 plus commissions from inflated contracts which they carry-out haphazardly or are abandoned, and still move around with so much air around them, while the plight of the nation’s future leaders that are at home and on the streets being lured into so many vices means nothing to them. I just wonder what manner of corrupt and inept leaders we breed in this nation. But the truth be told, these leaders are from our stock, they grew up among us and were bred by Nigerian parents and not Foreigners. So if we are going to get things right in this country, we must first start by re-structuring the system, starting with the family unit, at least that is the basic. Someone once said, “garbage in, garbage out”. What we feed into the system is what we get out of it. So I think all these blame game should rather be halted and let’s start finding solutions before we run our nation underground. Because we really can’t continue like this. If you want to change the world, first start with the man in the mirror.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY NIGERIA! (And while you celebrate, remember your schools are still on strike.)
