Dear looters that have plundered the future
generation, we hope you realise that what you left for the upcoming generation
is bleak- a depressing desolate state of affairs-bleak, except the anchor of
hope that is preventing our ship from capsizing is released. But anchors are
not thrown down at once; they are dropped miles before reaching the coastline.
Yes there was oil boom but now there is oil gloom, has global oil prices are
fallen and consequently caused a drop in federal government foreign exchange earnings.
Was it not some decades ago that one elder statesman said that the problem with
Nigeria was not scarcity; but that we had so much money we did not know how to
spend it? That was in the glorious days of oil boom. What an irony!
Well, you will think that looting is not a problem.
Let me ask some pertinent questions: How has been spent to solve electricity
problem in Nigeria? What is the cost of fixing our refineries and making them
functional? I do not pretend to have the actual figures, but one thing I know
is that Nigeria has the wherewithal to turn the refineries around, with the
proper political will.
Nigerians
need to take a stand together against looting, or else the generation unborn
will be hit by decadence that is worse than we can presently imagine
