THERE WAS A COUNTRY

I am kind of skeptical about the best way to start.  There was, there is or there will be.  "There was" will surely do for now.
Ray updated his status. It said a country is gone when it's inhabitants find nothing wrong with its leaders. They stay depending on those who put them in the constant struggling state they find themselves.  The "Stockholm syndrome" as the learned ones calls it.

I once stated facts about a country.  But for now, the focus would be on the one currently being lead by SAI. He succeeded EBELE, the man from the land of the Clarks and the pepples. The man who was tagged "clueless" but was also said to mean well.  He tried his best, employed a few of the best hands but could not make a headway.  Patience too was said to be a stumbling block.

SAI came riding on the slogan "change". A term that has since lost its meaning.  He promised a total change of the status quo.  Explained that the hydra-headed monster "kwaraption" is the main cog in the wheel of progress of the country.

Let us even switch to the other actors in the polity.  Bukola is a major protagonist, he is the head of one of those periodically empty chambers. By hook or crook, he got to that position.  He is a God of kwara politics.  Of course, playing SAI would not be a problem.

He is chief in orchestrating any form of drama.  He frustrates legislative procedures at will. He has tried his best in that position too, and he, of course, has his own ambitions. last we heard he also wants to be the commander in chief too.  Who can blame him he is also within his rights.  Anything is possible with Dino by his side.

Back to SAI, he has been out of the country many times.  To seek medical attention,  femi always tells us and of course, we have no problem with that. At least yemi the brilliant lawyer is always up to the task.  Sai has even on one of his many international trips called the majority of us lazy. That has even been for a while now why am I just bringing it up?

So recently,  Theresa and Donald made snide comments about the state.  Muhammadu is not even bothered in any way. They sure don't understand what he battles here in any way.  Then we should not also forget sai has achieved so much he even deserves a second term.  He also has the right. With the cult following from daura and the jagaban of Lagos behind him, Anything is possible now.

We would continue later,  but let me just chip this in.  Sai traveled to China and borrowed enough cash to develop the country. It may be for his war chest for the coming elections, I don't know I am also wondering.  Let's continue another time, shall we?

Nigeria Operates A Feudal System of Government. We Need To Stop Pretending This is A Democracy

Photo by David Rotimi on Unsplash Oftentimes, you hear Nigerians saying, 'Oh, Politics is a dirty game,' 'They are all liars, ' 'Politicians are so insincere,' etc. When I hear these statements, I often retort and insinuate in these conversations that we have never been interested in politics. We find ourselves today mainly due to our apathy towards the whole process. So, while this has rang true for decades, I now have a new theory.  We, as citizens, are to blame for everything you see happening in the Nigerian political space today. Nigeria has little to no relationship between the state and its citizens. Why would there be any? The citizens 'toil the ground' and do everything they can to make something out of the dire circumstances they have been dealt with, so naturally, that disconnect is created, and the resulting apathy is very intentional.  Now, this apathy and this pronounced disconnect allow a select few to get into the nation's politics b...

Nigerians!! In These Tough Times, We Need To Shed Our Individualism

This is my first article for the year, and I apologize for starting on this note. My first writing for the year should have started pleasantly. One of those extolling 'Self-Love' and the many talks of how you should be gentler in the new year, be more proactive, take it easy, forgive yourself, and all of that, but since we are not 'Greeing for anybody this year,' I am starting my year this way.  But then again, you should trust me because I have something like that in my drafts. Still, while scrolling through Twitter last night, I came across a user's comment saying, ' Our growth as Nigerians lies in us ditching our individualism as a society and embracing communal living.  That struck a chord, and just like that, I knew I had something to write about. However, before I get into all of that writing, let me offer you some context.  This takes me back to the very first time I stepped into Lagos. It was more like a rude awakening. I have never had to battle with tr...

Predatory Capitalism And The Fate Of Pharmacy Practise in Nigeria

It always starts like this: " A Reputable Pharmacy needs the service of a pharmacist..." The pharmacies are always "Reputable," which almost means the pharmacist must be ready to work for the money.  Or what better way will that 150k (Some 200k) be justified? Heard employers now even deduct randomly from the salaries paid to pharmacists. Let's call them deductions for pharmacy oversight. You know, in the case of the drugs on the shelf, not being " Pushed" and all of that. My colleagues should be fully aware of what I am speaking about by now. But before we get into the main gist, first of all, introduction... The Current Landscape of Pharmacy Practice in Nigeria. First, I do not like writing about seemingly tough topics, but they are drawn to me in a way. I see these anomalies and just want to get on my laptop and start typing. It is always like this; when you graduate as a pharmacist in this country, and after the compulsory internship year and poss...
