Groping through darkness !

Our wind of hope is being nearly stifled by the choking breeze of hate. So much has transpired over these past months, that one wonders if we actually set ourselves up and selected a weakling as President instead of a David! Where have we really gone so wrong on this dream called a Nation. As we all hoped beyond all possible pessimism that we may have gotten it right this time, I'm afraid that with the events of the past five months its almost certain that we haven't. I never expected an overnight miracle but I also didn't expect the level of corruption, incompetence and sheer unpatriotic inaction that lingers like an unending midnight mist. Where are we really headed to? An abyss comes to mind, a free falling feeling with no end in sight. As a matter of fact, its getting worse by the day. Between 1999 and today,the experiment called democracy in our dear country has moved us all more towards disintegration than towards a union. The constitution has been twisted to give voice to destroyers of life, livelihood and dreams. And on the streets we are more disunited than ever before. How do people justify the existence and continued violence by terrorists who are clearly motivated by selfish interests and misplaced idealism? If the truth must be spoken why postulate from thy backrooms. The subtle acceptance of the actions of hooligans and mean-spirited criminals in Nigeria is disgusting!If we allow their acts of destruction to continue, this country will not be called a nation in the very near future. Sooner than one may imagine.
