Is Nigeria Still Worth Fighting For

Welcome to Nigeria, but I am afraid you might have wasted the trip.
I am happy about the publicity that terrorism in Nigeria has gotten; not because the Haramite are becoming international superstars but because now it is evident to the world (and not only sad bedtime stories and stories for charity events in the West) the ineptitude of the governmentS of the federal republic. I am not pointing hands at any one man but our system of governance that has crippled our country since 'it' began. Maybe the pressure on government now will spur them into doing some things right......I am not raising my hopes though.
But you might have wasted your time because in Nigeria presidents are not bound by their words nor their promises. They can tell you they have 100 points agenda but only end up fulilling -20; which means 20 of those promised rehabilitations will become worse off by the end of that tenure. We have presidents that play politics even with the lives of little girls and believe the problem of the country is more from an opposition political party than corruption and negligence (not that the oppositions are absolved of the blame either, most of them "ran" and are still "running" this country).
You might have also really wasted your time because Nigerians are not ready to be helped. Sorry to say. The average Nigerian is, unfortunately, more interested in food on his table than the girls. So it doesnt matter if he is going to get that meal from the governor who splashes the state money around on travels while the public is lacking amenities or whether he is going to get it from standing for hours under the sun for a political rally he could care less about....except ofcourse for the stipends they get at the end of it. So when the election comes, he goes about his private business or considers that day a public holiday to rest from all the work and 'hustle' but funny enough his vote gets accounted for along with the votes of every other person that didnt vote. I mean, why bother to go to a polling station and risk getting killed when you can sell that vote for a bag of rice or absolve yourself from the stress altogether.
Maybe it is not entirely fair to say you wasted your time because every cause is worth fighting for and we really can not but fight for our country. We appreciate you taking the pain and we are are willing to let you fight along side us.
