I'm a Nigerian, and I am really pissed by the government. Majority of the masses live below the poverty line and the politicians pack a whole lot of money at the end of the month. Little wonder many support Trump calling the country 'shithole'. Yeah he's right.

Imagine a country where the minimum wage is a paltry 18,000 naira, that is about $51. I mean how will someone survive on that every month? It can barely even buy a good shoe (14,000 naira). Meanwhile, a house of representative member and senator will make about a hundred times of that amount monthly as a basic salary excluding allowances. This is ludicrous! This is insane! This is pitiable!

An average Nigerian graduate is unsure of employment. Those that are favoured are those whose relatives are well placed in the society. Nepotism is the order of the day. Competence is trumped.
I now ask, how then will Nigeria grow? What has happened to meritocracy? Why won't the poverty gap become wider?

I'm fed up! I have not seen a geographical region so packed with corrupt people than Nigeria.

The people of Nigeria are naturally good and talented but as a result of the parsimonious, corrupt and pococurante attitude of those people in power who spoil the image of the country, they will rather focus on their pockets than National development by encouraging our great minds. Later, they will complain of brain drain. Why not?
How long has Prof. Amagh Nduka, a PhD student of James Chadwick and an Internationally acclaimed physicist, been saying that he has a solution to the electricity problem of the country without any one listening to him? How long has Prof Alex Animalu tried to develop Science and technology in the country but has been discouraged severally? They never learn. That was how we lost the likes of Philip Emegwali, Chike Obi, Joshua ( the now British boxer), Chimamanda Adiche etc to other countries. Oh! We never learn.

Now, recently the President said he would assist Ghana fight corruption in their country, while corruption is thriving in his country. This is laughable!

I can go on and on, but I have to end it here. I'm sick and tired of this country. I'm fed up
