Nigeria gained it independence from the British in the 1960's, amalgamations of different ethnic, culture and languages. Yet still only the **name** seems to be joined together, **the native of the nation called Nigeria had been driven apart by it's political entities**, who in order to put it's **citizens in perpetual slavery, downtrodden and controlled** makes sure the populae are at logger-head, a term called **divide and rule**.

A nation that has been eaten deep by corruption, in almost every institute of government corruption has been a norms, it's not even hidden any more, bribes are been requested for before any action is been taken at offices and secretariats. Last month I was at mine Local Government Secretariat to sign some documents, the **Clerk** told me point blank that I have to drop a certain amount of money else mine document will not be taken to the Local Government Chairman. As the Local office holder are stealing so also are those high up in power sucking the country dry of what's meant for the whole country.

Should we even talk about the state of **Security**, the country gets more insecure daily, no one seems to be save even in their own house. You need to have double thought before you travel this days, **because this days many travel but few gets to their destination without been waylaid**. Then your phone becomes a call channel to kidnapper call center making demands. How long will we take this.

Education platform of the country has been handicapped, All Federal Universities has been on strike for over six month due to failure of the government to meet up to the demand of the ASSU (governing association of Universities), yet pocket monies of ministers are been increased, children of Public office holder goes to and graduate from foreign countries whose government run their country well, while the masses children are dumped at home to be a burden to there parents, many female students has turn to devious ways to make money while the some of the guys has  become a nuisance to the society.



Civil Servants are owed months of salaries but Politician gets their pay and allowances even before each month runs out, then after every four years. When it's election time they come running up and down our corridors, bribing and lying to our faces to get our votes, which when they do, we won't see their faces again. They campaign around spraying cash, sharing foods and doing empowerment that doesn't impact the life and livelihood of people in anyways, **Audio Empowerment.**

**Aren't we the Masses part of the problem like this, don't we learn from been hurt and used consistenty by them, are we satisfied with been used and dumped. What has befallen us, are we so blind or we just chose not to see what is before us.**

The salaries coupled with allowances paid to **Public Office Holder** should be cut drastically, they should be put on slary-scale like **Civil Servant**, through this only those that has the best interest of the nation at heart will endeavor to contest for any **political sit**.


And lastly, we get better only when we walk together, we should let people who has selfish interest use **religion or tribe** to put us asunder.
