THE RUSTING GOLD

/Sighs***/
Everytime I hear my Mother and So many other people say "Oh this Nation is filled with Milk and honey" and I keep wondering how true the statement is  because nobody seems to know the where about of either the milk or the honey.
We can not say the bees stopped producing the honey because we see the bees sucking nectar from the flowers but we are not seeing the honey let alone licking it . The Milk on the other hand is being produced in large quantity by the Cows only for some very few families to take it all  ......

Our Rulers come out to say "Oh You young Folks are the Leaders of tomorrow" and I just shake my head in pity. The Leadership of this Nation is almost like that which applies in a MONARCHY (where only selected families can become the Ruler  and when One Ruler  dies or Total Inactive as a result of Old Age , their children becomes rulers in their stead ) .........................
In this nation , the only rooms available to conveniently thrive  are for the aristocrats , the people on the other side work out their salvation with hard-work and pray for Luck to smile on them ...

We are blessed with Agricultural Resources almost more than any Nation on Earth yet we have most of us feeding on less than a dollar per day and people starving on the Street ...

When Election comes , We see Position aspirant delivering impeccable manifestos (which looks like the solution to all our personal and national problems ) but when they attain the position , their memories all becomes blank and all they remember is themselves ,family and some friends . The personalise our MILK AND HONEY  ,leading our Country to impoverishment .................................................

Nigerians are being treated as misfit in different parts of the world , Our young vibrant National assets are being murdered in various parts of the world and nobody is saying anything about it!!!!!

Now we are all tired of the #BRING BACK OUR GIRLS CRUSADE# because we don't have response Rulers .....

We nolonger Serve our Fatherland with love and strength and faith . Unity and Peace have gone into extinction .........

I hear questions like 'can anything good come out of Nigeria '??

At times , I wonder if this Country can go back to a Normal State.

To stick with  the Truth, : "A home of Gold is gradually becoming a home of stone "
