CAPTAIN (MISS) OBVIOUS.

*sigh*
There is poverty in the land. It is so highly pronounced, it makes one sad.
To think that there was once a time in this country that poverty was a foreign concept.
Someone once said "The failure of Governance in this country is better expressed in silence than in words". Well, in a way I agree. I mean, we can talk all we want-the way we've been talking since all these days. Matter of fact, I am of the opinion that we like "talky-talky" too much in this country... And big big oyinbo..... (As long as someone is blowing grammar, we don't even want to listen to the CONTENT).
Bottomline: we are all talk, no action.

The average Nigerian family is like a mini Government; providing its own electricity, water, security e.t.c........ Beht why!?

Ok let me come out clean........ Something happened today. Something that left my eyes wide open.
You know, whenever I see all those "UNICEF" programmes on T.V, with all those under-nourished children and all, it used to look very distant. Almost untrue...

But today, I saw poverty in Nigeria. Concentrated one. Forgive me if I sound funny but, I can't go into details (breach of trust) believe me though, there are A LOT of very poor people in Nigeria. (Yeah you can say "captain obvious" at this point)........ If not for our suffering-and-smiling-attitude ehn, smh.


I'm still reeling from the shock of the experience I had today and it makes me feel like every individual needs to be conscious as per social responsibilty.
