NNEOMA💙💙

I honestly don’t know how I ended up in Nigeria, but God knows best. Imagine reducing my experience in Benue State to an Igbo versus Yoruba argument. I was in Lagos last week and went into the bathroom to have a shower. The moment I turned on the shower, the smell that came out with the water was exactly like sewage. And this was supposedly a good hotel on the Island. The environment is heavily polluted. Look at Abuja, the capital of Nigeria, citizens are battling the unavailability of light, water and public transportation system. You go to all the oil producing states in Nigeria and you’ll see how poorly they are doing. No portable drinking water in some states, no infrastructure, the citizens are unemployed, poor education system, poverty, etc. There’s nothing to show for the natural resources they supply this country. Everyday, our lawmakers receive “prayers in their mailbox”, but a lecturer cannot afford to pay rent comfortably, millions of Nigerians are stuck in deteriorating IDP camps with no hope of returning to their homes. Nigerians are suffering. People are begging to eat. The quality of our living is poor, and our standards have fallen so low that we are beginning to accept things that should never be normal. But how can someone who lives in a shithole recognise the smell of shit? I honestly don’t blame you.
