Nigeria (/naɪˈdʒɪəriə/ ) officially the Federal Republic of Nigeria, is a country in West Africa, bordering Niger in the north, Chad in the northeast, Cameroon in the east, and Benin in the west. Its coast in the south is located on the Gulf of Guinea in the Atlantic Ocean. The federation comprises 36 states and 1 Federal Capital Territory, where the capital, Abuja, is located. The constitution defines Nigeria as a democratic secular state.
Nigeria is the summary of what hell represents. It is no more endurable. All efforts to prove the contrary, even the heart of Africa project have been supreme failures. Nigeria is the capital of hell on earth. It is a state that is allergic to barest modicum of social justice. A landing in Lagos or any other port of entry into this country, is an entrance into Dante’s city of Woe; the way to a forsaken people; and the gateway to indescribable sorrow. In this country, nothing functions. Injustice is the king here. Corruption reigns with impunity over public life. A 1995 CBS report stated that one cannot go to Nigeria to be scammed, without paying a bribe.
That our nation is caught up in the wind of hell is not in doubt. Our sacred places are filled with men of sacrilegious vocations. These are the carnal and the lusty who betrayed reason in obeisance to appetites. They were those who married avarice; worshipped the golden calf of mediocrity and opportunism; and murdered innocent sleep. They were the evil souls who manipulated men as means to ends in disobedience to Kant. These are those whom Dante designated as lustful and condemned to the second circle of hell, where torment commences. They through their actions and the lack thereof, swallowed pestles of inglorious provenance. And they were eternally condemned to sleep standing upright as Ola Rotimi will have it. They raped decency and good sense, and the gods reprimanded them with perpetual priapism. Our misfortune lies in the fact that they sport these hard-ons across our land, still raping and plundering our posterity. It lies in the fact that they remain the pallbearers and undertakers of our commonweal. What they cannot despoil, they co-opt and corrupt. And what they cannot corrupt, they destroy. Destruction is their praise and their song. They are carrions and beasts of no nation at the same time. But eternal discomfiture awaits their debauched consciences. It is the law of life. When Macbeth, pursuant to his ambitions, presided over the murder of innocent sleep, he married insomnia as his recompense. That is the just reward of every such crassness.
Religion in Nigeria is the temple of hypocrisy. The facts are that our pastors are fake healers; converting their lecherous selves into multi-millionaires feeding on the ignorance, low self esteem and misfortunes of the people. They get revelations from their neurosis to heal fake diseases, well choreographed. Many of them are Jim Jones waiting to happen. Many of these pastors hold tyrannical and fearful hold over their ignorant adherents whom they have convinced that they are divine. They use an admixture of manipulation, intimidation, terror and trial by ordeal to keep a vice-like grip on their adherents. It is a kingdom of the cults.
Hell is the supreme recompense for injustice. It is the condemnation to endless discomfiture. It is the state of being trapped in an all round decadence. According to Dante Alighieri, the greatest Italian poet of all times, and one of the triumvirate of universal masters, hell is the way into the city of woe; the way to a forsaken people; the way into eternal sorrow. It is the recompense of justice for a fossilized lifetime of wrong choices. It is the payment of heaven for a hell of a life, both individual and collective. It is the residence of eternal hopelessness.
Nigeria a hell on earth, Nigeria a hell where money meant for citizens is been circulated with in the cabals. A private citizen move around with Bullion Vans, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on the eve of 2019 presidential elections. The same man who is desperate to attain the position of presidency come 2023, he’s so corrupt to the act of giving delegates thousands of dollars just to win the party primary election.
Ahmed Tinubu is a man who turn Lagos state to a state controlled by tout, a man who have no sympathy for the citizens, rather than to gather thugs, breed them and appoint them into government sector.
Nigeria a Hell on Earth where Killing for blasphemy as been the order of the day, just of recent, a young lady called Deborah was cut short her dream because of Alleged blasphemous Whatsapp post. She was stoned and burnt to death.
The stoning and burning to death of Ms Deborah Emmanuel is such a painful and heartbreaking story that happened before our eyes. I am talking about this again and again because this is not the first time this is happening, and if we don’t do anything about it, this won’t be the last.
Nigeria a hell on earth where terrorists now use helicopter to ambush citizens. Days ago, not less than 32 persons was killed in a fresh attack by militant who used helicopter as transportation means. Nigeria a hell on earth where there is no security despite special fee set aside for security personnel to buy weapons but was stolen by the bosses in the military sector.
Nigeria is hell. It is a distorted version of every decent thing one expects in a country. This country is a mockery of nationhood. It stands opposite in purpose to what all civilized men aspire to. It is deadly jungle where Hobbessian fear of violent death reigns supreme. Here depravity has no degree. Everything that is good is meaningless in Nigeria. Even communication, which in other climes is a bridge to national unity, happens to be a dialogue of the deaf here. We prefabricate and carry around prejudices about our compatriots without rhyme. These pejorative prejudices lack reason and affronts logic. Yet we carry them; talk at one another instead of talking with one another. Communication in Nigeria at all levels is an essential arena for trading in rubbish. It is a theatre of gibberish. Our government lies with audacious impunity, even when the truth stands so crystal clear.
Most of those who could have changed Nigeria for the better are outside the country because Nigeria is not fair to them; their kinds still in Nigeria are infinitesimal (in number) to make any impact. That’s why the generation of 1950-1959 are still holding sway in the country, messing everything up and jeopardizing the political, economic, social and cultural growth of the country. “We have several Nigeria technocrats scattered all over the world and developing developed countries. For example, in Malaysia, 18 Nigerians are working in their oil sector as we also had hundreds in different capacities across the globe. In fact, in Nigeria today, young Nigerians can do so many things with computers. That simply means Nigerians are more developed than the country itself and we can work on this to achieve the desired developmental goals we’ve been craving for. The government should just work on some individuals to really contribute to the development of the country”.
NIGERIA A HELL ON EARTH.
