In a world void of truth and transparency, who do I trust? It hurts that I am a victim of everyone with the aid of my own. Everyone sees me as a means to an end, the West see me as a ground for exploitation, politicians see me as a ticket to wealth and the masses see me as a failed state.

Children are disappointed in me, many are ashamed to have come from me. But no one ever questions the real source of the menace, maybe it’s time to speak! Time to liberate myself! I am just a country! Nigeria is my name! I am the victim and not the problem!

The problem is leadership constructed on nepotism and corruption! Government pampering insecurity as though it fuels their existence! Same group of people failing to say no and stand up for me! The issue is the leaders shivering and bowing at the sight of the West! My exploiters! And some youths dishing themselves as tools to the dirty Elites! All these emanated from the hunger for the “National Cake” as they fondly call it.

Do you ever think of how I am being ripped off of all my resources;Gold, oil, cash crops, name them! I am the literal giant, who survives on a wheelchair controlled by the few! Truth be told I am slowly fading away! Gradually becoming my own shadow! I have no friend! They are all reapers! They broke the giant in me just to sell me in parts to my exploiters!

“They” are the problem! “They” are not the West! “They” are my people!
