Not Gonna Lie
It’s Tough
Whew 😥
I said it out loud, it is really tough living in a country like Nigeria, don’t get wrong, I love this country, it’s the only home I know and have and if things were rightly positioned, i would die for this country but nah, this country hasn’t done anything for me that’s worth dying for.
You could have a different reality and that’s totally fine.
My heart has been bleeding in a different kind of way, it’s like it’s bleeding out all the love and hope I used to have for Nigeria, there’s just little to no hope I have that this beloved nation of mine would be any better.
Life is tough for people, I go out everyday and I just see how difficult it is for people to get by. Everybody begs now, it’s not just homeless or displaced people living under the bridges or inside the gutters. Well dressed people beg now, old men and women beg, young men and women beg, not because they haven’t tried to work or hustle or make a living but because the system is designed to work against them.
There’s this evil system that’s just designed to frustrate your efforts and dampen your zeal in this country. You go out with full energy and you come back home drained completely of life, when does it truly end.
It’s bad news everyday, nothing exciting, nothing amazing, everyone has found a coping mechanism to just move on and keep themselves happy, everyone is thinking about moving out of the country not because they are happy about leaving their entire family and home behind but because they cannot afford to stay anymore, their dreams are being forgotten, they are always on survival mode, they’ve forgotten how to dream and really live.
This country is draining the life out of its citizens and the sad thing is that not everyone can escape it, not everyone has the grace nor the resources to do that. I just came to rant today because my heart is full and I just need to let it out. Thank you all for reading and I pray your country will be good and kind to you.
Peace i leave with you 🕊️
Byeeee
