Political Rant: We might forget, but We won’t forgive

For us in Nigeria, I think the thought that mostly crosses our minds has to be the question "will it ever get better” I mean we have been through the worst possible situations known and you know the most terrible part is that it’s all man-made, as in humans like us are the ones actually causing the calamity that we have been befallen as a nation.

Greediness, Corruption of the most-possible-highest-order, incomparable and inestimable selfishness, 'chop-national-cake' mentality, I could go on and on for real...but we all already know what befalls us as a nation so there is not point hammering on it now is there?

Like they say, we know the problem, tell us the solution, honestly for Nigeria, the solution is pretty obvious, KILL CORRUPTION, not tape it, not clean it, not pack it up, not condemn it, as in absolutely KILL IT.

But hey now, who is going to do it, I mean I campaigned passionately for this currently government, so pretty sure that they would be the redemption that we so badly need (I have not determined that they aren't though), but I guess we all thought that when the now President comes in, he wave a wand and all will be well with us, if not immediately then maybe say 3-6 months, we all definitely did not see this currently chaos happening over 10 months after.

So my question is, Is the burden way too much for the government to carry or are they just gently nudging the beast that ravages our nation?

Now I had a discussion with a friend a couple of days ago, we both agreed that it was way too early to start condemning the present government and that Yes, they had met a whole lot of mess when they assumed office, but then again we Nigerians have been through shit (please pardon my language) so we really do need them to step up and bring in their A+ game right away and this is only because come 2019, Nigerians will might forget, but ironically we will never forgive.
