Just came across this fact...
The very first person that called Nigeria a "zoo" politically was the present president himself after one of his bitter defeats when he lost in 2007 to Late Umaru Musa Yaradua.
Honestly I can only see what a better zoo Nigeria is right now.
The other night I engaged into an argument with a friend of mine who is a lecturer, it was about the moral rating of the individuals of both Nigeria and America, but I made him to misunderstand me and he made his point of views based on the growth of both countries in comparison, we argued and argued..
But I was talking from 2 points and that was my problem in this argiement, I mixed up immorality and corruption, so colliding the both points made me unable to have a good landing on what I was trying to say, I would say I wasn't prepared for the argument.
So he kept on making his point based on his views around the rating of corruption between the two countries.
Now as we all know, the pinnacle of corruption in Nigeria is just like hell on earth which make the American political class and its leadership structure to be holy if compared to that of the Nigerian state oh Lord save us if not..
He took the argument and he based his points and i left it at that, but deep down in me I wasn't convinced because what I really had in mind was about moral values but I didn't base my points right on time. OK.
My friends.. Thats the first time I tried to say some positive things about our country for a long time now because I don't even go into such arguments because am not happy with the leadership pattern and all, not structure but pattern, because the country has no "leadership structure" OK.
But this friend of mine went ahead to ask me something that shut me up right from my heart even before we got to the end of the argument.
Wisdom Nathaniel went ahead to ask me this.
(where is your president?)
OK.. I had to bend down and say "oh God help me"
I believe my friend wisdom Nathaniel is still surprised at me and my points of argument because I was completely baseless.
You see, this humiliation is just nothing to be compared with the humiliation and total disgrace that NIGERIANS get per second ticktock from home and abroad.
(where is your president?)
