Before the Alarm

It is certain that the alarm will blow one day but it is pertinent to warn those in the corridors of power of the danger inherent in the future so that we shall not be caught unawares by the future.
Today, it is more difficult than ever for the common man to live- his children cannot go to a school where the future is assured since most of our public schools which produced him and gave him hope his future has virtually collapsed and most of the chop-I-chop private schools they attend cannot guarantee quality education.
Secondly when he or any of his dependants become ill as a result of the absence of quality food which is due to the fact that his take home pay cannot take him beyond the gate of his employer, the hospital that he depends on is one which even his rulers feel cannot be depended on since they have a better alternative overseas.
The cost of transportation has eaten so deep into his pocket that what little is left cannot buy him the least of comforts while he only is blessed with body aches after each "journey" to and fro his place of employment due to the deplorable state of our roads.
At night, there is yet no respite because PHCN, which is a leech depriving us of some of the little money made from oil only supplies darkness while waiting till the end of the month to collect money for services not rendered with the government budgetting billions for the purchase of generating sets and powering them in a country where we have decided to make PHCN a conduit pipe.
It is only in Naijaland that we do not obey the law of gravity. I am innocent, economically, geographically and mathematically but I had thought with the price of oil selling for around a third of its price in August, the pump price of petrol should have been reduced while we need to have answers to the question of what happened to the billions of dollars set aside for turning round our refineries which has turned them and turned them round making a 360 degree turning from where it started to where it started.
In view of the fact that some people are dying of hunger while some are dying of "tummytuck", there are certainly more questions than answers and it is just a matter of time before the alarm blows. To them that have ears, Let them hear!
