IN THE UNIVERSITY, WE LEARNT TO DO THINGS” WITHOUT”. WE ATE GARRI WITHOUT GROUNDNUT;ATE RICE WITHOUT MEAT OR FISH;WENT TO THE ACCADEMIC CAMPUS WITHOUT-THAT IS GOING ON “LEGEDIS BENZ” FROM THE HOSTEL THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS OF AGWUANROGO TO GET TO BAUCHI ROAD CAMPUS.ALL THIS AND MORE WE DID “WITHOUT”, BECAUSE WE COULD NOT AFFORD TO DO WITH.WE DID NOT HAVE THE MEANS TO, SO WE LIVED A LIFE OF “WITHOUT” I GUESS MOST OF YOU HAVE HAD TIMES WHEN YOU HAVE LIVED WITHOUT, BECAUSE THE ALTERNATIVE WAS IMPOSSIBLE.IT IS UNDERSTANDABLE.IT IS NORMAL.

 HOWEVER, WHEN A COUNTRY LIVE “WITHOUT”, IT BECOMES ” A DEAD BODY THAT HAS AN ACCIDENT”. THIS IS MORE SO WHEN THE COUNTRY CAN AFFORD THE ALTERNATIVE, WHICH LIVING WITH.WHEN A COUNTRY REFUSES TO LIVE TODAY AND LIVES IN A CATASTROPHIC AGE UNKNOWN TO HUMANITY,WHEN MEN BECOME ANIMALS, OR EVEN WORSE, THEN RUIN IS THE ONLY RESULT.

 IN THE 1970,ATLEAST IN LAGOS, ENUGU,PORTHARCOURT AND IBADAN, CITIES THAT I HAD THE OPORTUNITY OF LIVING. THE STANDARD OF LIFE WAS HIGH-VERY HIGH. WE HAD LIGHT ALMOST 24 HOURS;WE HAD WATER RUNNING IN THE TAPS AT HOME;THERE GOOD PUBLIC SCHOOLS,I AM A BENEFICIARY OF SOME OF THEM(ELIZABETH FOWLER IN LAGOS, AND METHODIST 2 IN IBADAN);THER WHERE GOOD HOSPITALS WITH STATE OF THE ART EQUIPMENTS(UNIVERSITY COLLEGE HOSPITAL), AND GOOD MEDICAL PERSONNEL; THERE GOOD ROADS(LAGOS- IBADAN EXPRESS ROAD, IKORODU ROAD,LAGOS- BENIN EXPRESS);THERE WAS JOB FOR MOST GRADUATES.WE EVEN HAD A HEAD OF STATE OR PRESIDENT VISIBLE AND FUNCTIONAL, EVEN IF THEY LACKED THE BRAINS TO MAKE OUR COUNTRY GREAT.WE HAD A COUNTRY, WE EVEN HAD A NATIONAL ANTHEM ,THAT WE SANG JOYFULLY EVERY MORNING.

 30 YEARS LATER. NIGERIA AS A COUNTRY MIGHT JUST BE ABOUT TO BREAKUP. WE ARE ALL TIRED OF ONE ANOTHER.THE IGBOS ARE TIRED OF THE HAUSAS, THE HAUSAS ARE TIRED OF THE YORUBAS, AND THE YORUBAS ARE TIRED OF THE IJAWS, THE BEROM IS TIRED OF THE FULANI AND SO IT CONTINUES WITH THE OVER TWO HUNDRED ETHNIC POLITIES IN NIGERIA.

 BUT THE WORSE IS THAT WE HAVE BECOME A COUNTRY OF “WITHOUT”.NO CREDIBLE ELECTIONS,NO LIGHT , NO WATER, NO ROADS, THE SALARIES OF REAL WORKER DO NOT COME AND WHEN THEY DO ARE WORTH TISSUE PAPER,NO HONOURABLE MEN, NO TRUTHFUL MEN,NO INFRASTRUCTURES IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS,NO NATIONAL COHESION, NO NATIONAL IDENTITY,NO AIRPORT SECURITY(MUTALLAB SNEAKED PASS ALL THE UNIFORMED MEN IN LAGOS).

WE DO NO EVEN HAVE A LIVING VISIBLE PRESIDENT.THEY SAY THAT IN THE COUNTRY OF THE BLIND, THE ONE EYED MAN RULES.BUT IN OUR COUNTRY, THE NEAR DEAD MEN ARE RULING THE LIVING.OUR COUNTRY DRIFT EACH DAY CLOSER TO ANARCHY, WHILE THOSE AT THE CORRIDORS OF POWER ARE BUSY DIVIDING WHAT IS LEFT OF OUR NATIONAL AGEGE BREAD.

 ALL WELL MEANING PEOPLE SHOULD PREVAIL ON YAR´ARDUA AND HIS HANGERS ON TO HANDOVER POWER.NIGERIA IS NOT HIS PRIVATE PROPERTY.AND ALL THOSE THAT HAVE BROUGHT TO THIS POINT OF “WITHOUT”, SHOULD BE TRIED FOR TREASON, FOR TRYING TO DESTROY THE POLITY WITHOUT.

 NIGERIA MUST BE MADE TO BE WITH, BECAUSE WE HAVE THE MEANS AND MANPOWER TO.

 DURING THE VARIOS YEARS OF OBASANJO IN POWER HE DENIED JUSTICE TO ALMOST EVERYBODY EXCEPT HIS HANGERS- ON.IT IS FUNNY TO SEE THE SPANISH JUDICIAL SYSTEM WASTE ITS TIME IN PROSECUTING A CASE LIKE THIS.BUT THAT IS HOW JUSTICE IS SUPPOSED TO BE.NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE OR WHO YOU KNOW, THE SAME JUSTICE SYSTEM PREVAILS FOR EVERYBODY.YOU CAN SUE A MEDICAL DOCTOR FOR NEGLIGENCE.YOU CAN SUE A JUDGE FOR BIAS. YOUCAN EVEN SUE THE PRIME MINISTER, THE PRIEST,THE BISHOP,THE ORDINARY MAN SUE AND BE SUED. THE MIGHTY CAN BE SUED , ARRESTED AND CAN ALSO SUE.THE COMPANY THAT PROVIDES ELECTRICITY CAN BE SUED IF THEY TAKE THE LIGHT.THE PNONE COMPANY CAN BE SUED IF YOU DO NOT HAVE NETWORK.THE WATER BOARD CAN BE SUED IF YOU DO NOT HAVE WATER OR IF THE WATER IS CONTAMINATED.YOU CAN SUE THE PROJECT MANAGER OF A ROAD THAT PROVOKES A LOT OF ACCIDENTS.YOU CAN SUE THE AMBULANCE FOR COMING LATE FOR A CALL.YOUR RIGHTS CAN BE DEFENDED EVEN WHEN YOU DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO PAY FOR A LAWYER, THE GOVT PROVIDES YOU WITH A GOOD ONE.

 BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THIS SOCIETY IS THAT  PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE BETTER THAN PRIVATE SCHOOLS, PUBLIC HOSPITALS ARE FAR BETTER THAN THE PRIVATE HOSPITALS,PUBLIC ROADS ARE BETTER THAN PRIVATE ROADS,PUBLIC BUSSES ARE BETTER THAN PRIVATE BUSSES,GOVT JOBS, LIKE TEACHING, ARE BETTER PAID THAN THIER PRIVATE COUNTERPARTS.

 IT IS THEREFORE  IMPORTANT THAT THE NIGERIAN GOVT AND ITS HANGERON START LOOKING INTO THIER MASTER PLAN FOR THE COUNTRY.MRS OBASANJO WAS RUSHED TO A PUBLIC HOSPITAL WHEN THERE WAS COMPLICATION WITH HER OPERATION.IN NIGERIA IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE OTHER WAY ROUND.HERE IN SPAIN THIER ARE NO VIP WARDS. EVERYBODY IS VIP BECAUSE WE ALL PAY TAXES AND OUR AXES ARE USED FOR THE COMMON GOOD.

 I HAVE NEVER SAID THAT THERE IS NO CORRUPTION IN EUROPE.WHERE THERE IS IT IS SO NEGLIGIBLE THAT IT DOES NOT EVEN GET TO 0,0001% OF THE TOTAL.IN NIGERIA LIKE IN MOST AFRICAN COUNTRIES IT IS THE OTHER WAY ROUND.THE RULERS STEAL OVER 99.9% OF THE FUND MEANT FOR THE EVERYBODY.GOOD LIVING BECOME AN EXCLUSIVE OF A FEW WHO WORK VERY LITTLE. THE REST OF US BECOME PERPETUAL SLAVES TO EVERYDAY WAR CALLED SURVIVAL.
