Suffering and smiling

This aptly captions the situation of the average Nigerian in this present situation.
A look at the situation of the average Nigerian is saddening. While the oil boom lasted, the average Arabian oil sheik was using the excess to fund their economy to make sure that their tomorrow is well secured while the average Nigerian government official is interested in the amount of money in the country's reserve and the amount stolen by the officials.
Equally so, the government and the tribunal was thinking of how to resolve the logjam called election organised by the oracle of Ota Farms. However, the bubble has bursted and things are no longer at ease. Those who bear the brunt of this are the masses who have nowhere to go and no foreign school to send their children. And the effect of the collapse in the oil prices is the strike by the teachers and a reduction in the allowances or take home of government officials as if that will stop them stealing us blind. The only situation or solution for the masses is to hope that one day, the Almighty will intervene in their situation.
This becomes more painful when we consider that late last year, a notable senator from Lagos State, a state in the Southern part of the country alleged that budget utilization was 50% when things were rosy oil-wise. The faith of the common man, in this time of low oil prices is left for the gods in politicial offices to decide. However, my mind keeps telling me that there is going to be, sooner than later a very bloody revolution to resolve the situation.
To them that have ears, let them hear.
