You can disagree with government policies, that is perfectly fine, that is democracy. People are frustrated, things are hard, and no one should pretend otherwise. But we also need to be honest with ourselves. Nigeria did not get to this point overnight. Many of the problems we complain about today have been building up for years, poor decisions, delayed reforms, weak systems, overdependence on oil, and a habit of avoiding hard choices.
The truth is, there is never a “good time” to fix deep problems. Tough decisions will always come with discomfort. We can debate whether the approach is right or wrong, and government should absolutely be held accountable, but expecting decades of problems to disappear in a short time is not realistic. Nobody enjoys hardship, but sometimes the real question is whether the country is finally trying to deal with the root of the problem instead of just managing symptoms. Time will tell, but we owe ourselves honest conversations, not just anger.
Man is ignorant of the nature of his own being and powers. Even his idea of his limitation is based on experience of the past, and every step in his progress extends his empire. There is therefore no reason to assign theoretical limits to what he may be, or to what he may do.
I haven't spoken to Azzezat in almost 6 years, she called me yesterday to tell me of a job opportunity that wasn't even meant for me.
She said she won't tell anyone else, until she's certain I won't be getting it.
