Nigeria as a Nation in Stagnation.

Right now, Nigeria, (the giant of Africa and the most populous Black nation in the world) is practically in a state of stagnation. The economy is crawling. Inflation is galloping. Power supply is "epileptic". Security is almost non-existent. Kidnapping-for-ransom is the order of the day. Legislators are busy acting like spoilt brats. Cabinet ministers are now as good as glorified office boys. And even the president is nowhere to be found. Yet, Nigerians albeit, the reasonably comfortable among them, are stressing themselves silly by arguing over some mundane stuff and, especially a recent speech made by the now foreign-based president.  

In a reasonable environment, a terribly sick president such as Mr. Buhari, would have resigned his appointment and allowed his Vice President to take full charge of the nation. But not in a nation like Nigeria where selfish interest comes before national interest. And sadly, the president is surrounded by several selfish individuals who believe that their aid personal interest will be better served if the president remains in office, irrespective of the condition of his health. In the process, the nation can go o blazes for all they care. 

This state of affairs does makes one wonder sometimes if there are (or were some sins) that Nigerians have committed and, for which, they are now paying. The economic situation in the country has reached a critical stage. In the meantime though, the few individuals with ill-gotten wealth are busy flaunting it at every opportunity while the poverty-stricken masses look on helplessly.
