Twitter temporary suspended
President Buhari warns the Youth
12 killed, 18 kidnapped in Kaduna
NYSC scrapping pass the second reading.
Senate propose changing the name Nigeria to UAR, etc.
The kind of news we get daily and sometimes we wonder if there's a future for our dear country Nigeria. Some persons believe it's a move for revolution but then many youths who are the future have lost their lives on the line. The old starts a war but send the youth to fight, when the youth are supposed to bury the aged, the aged are the ones burying the youths, what a state of brouhaha. With the current leaders, our dear country is been ruled by dictators who are hiding under the grace of democracy and the youth shows their grievances through numerous protest that has been considered to be a threat to them.

The price for commodities are four times higher than the price it was before this government came into power, if crisis doesn't kill the citizen, starvation does. The poor are suffering yet the government are paying deaf ears to their cries. Indeed when a man is satisfied, he finds it hard to believe his neighbors are hungry, Empathy is one big thing that's missing in this government, they're more after their convenience and playing the blame-game. Our leaders seem to be blinded by greed that all they see is the part the youth has failed or the past administration did not do yet making no changes. I love my country, but dislike the countrymen ruling as government. I believe in the future of Nigeria, but then how many lives would go just for this future.

The event at lekki tollgate in Lagos Nigeria still remain an unforgettable experience to all patriotic citizen of the country. Youth massacre in cold blood yet the government show no remorse. The little means where youth make money is been frustrated, e.g, the twitter ban. The question is; what is the way forward? Yes, we love our country, we pray for it peace daily but for how long should we endure the bizarre attitude of our government who have denied the citizen their freedom?

I believe better days are ahead, Nigeria will soon experience a revolution that will bring a positive change but would this be through war or peace?. 2023 is by the corner, a period for election is approaching, would our vote count to bring this future we envision? Pray for our country Nigeria, for its peace is a peace for all.
