Nigeria Shall Rise Again!
Ibrahim Danbatta, Ph.D H ello Nigeria! For the past 3 days, when I learned you’ll be 62, an age for retirement, I’ve had a series of thoughts going through my mind. The retirement age is the point at which someone stops working, especially because of having reached a particular age. As in the case of Nigeria Instead of saying Happy independence, why not say happy retirement age? Instead of getting better like old wine , you’ve become even more confused like an old fool. Kidnapping, banditry, cattle rustling, interethnic /religious crises, insurgency & unemployment has been soaring in multitudes! How far 9ja? You’re once the giant of Africa! A caring mother to South Africa during the apartheid, a loving stepmom to Ghana & a proud land to all Nigerians!!! A country that was once filled with honey and milk. A nation where job once awaits graduates & offers a juicy package for its children! B ut today, bad leadership, corruption, nepotism, Godfatherism
