To the party,
To development,
To common sense,
To everything else;
Coronavirus COVID-19,
Has stripped them,
Down to their inefficiencies,
Revealed! All lack basic competencies;
The people of state bear the brunt,
Of coconut heads acting like eggheads,
Led by an ancient of days,
Too old for many modern ways.
The young people of nigeria groan under the heavy burden of analogue leaders stuck in leadership styles that lead nowhere.
It is sad that while many other countries in the same age range as Nigeria have gone on to become self-sufficient in many industrial, technological and educational aspects of their existence, Nigeria has gone on to breed over ten million children out of school and eight times that underemployed or unemployed.
COVID-19 sheds new light on what the future can be like - the kind that takes full advantage of technology and industry.
Question is that will Nigerians still throw their future away by the next election cycle or make a radical one-eighty-degree turn away from greed and stupidity?
