The Mafia Nation! How did we get here?

Bulus Musa Zgabawa

How a country was hijacked by Mafia. How a group of people imported terrorists from other parts of the country to destabilize a country using religion as a ploy. The rigging and killing before the election orchestrated by the people that are eager to take power. How a president ruled for 8 eight years and plunged the country into trouble, division, nepotism, and poverty. How the subsequent leader he handed over turned the country into a country run by a Mafia Gang. How generals close to 200 generals where forced to retire because their juniors where appointed as service chiefs. A caricature senate screening of Governor and Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, as politicians of the ruling party where brought int to mange the Bank, these individuals where people of shady character and far below average. the Interview at the national assembly was a disgrace to the nation. How staff of the Central Bank of Nigeria where sacked without due process. Infact staff where sacked without investigation and they where not told what to do. How cases where instituted at the Industrial court and the leadership of the Bank decided to grant early exit that led to some brilliant minds leaving the bank. The Central Bank was no longer behive of intelectual reasoning as the smart ones in the system had to be careful so that their smartness is not considered as threats to the Governors and his cronies. Staff where sacked based on recommendations from other staff that considered these staff as threat for Directors position. The importation of fuel. How the president that was into fuel importation frustrated the activity of the only indigenous private refinery by a citizen. The national petroleum company was also not left aside a s the president has to put in his cronies rather than looking for the right individuals. On resumption in power, the president announced two pilicies that destroyed the economy of the country. The first was allowing the currency of the country to float freely. This decision was taking without due consideration to the country's peculiarity and without consulting the Central Bank. The central bank had advised against this activity in the past and had required some fundamentals to be put in place before that,. this was not adhered into. Then the removal of the subsidy, where proper study and ameliorating factors that cushion the burden on the people where never considered. in fact policies where made without consideration of the people. The political class will rather advised the people to manage the poverty without anything in their hands. The politicians where growing fat, and the people where growing lean. Insecurity that has been the other of the day, also increased and the count of people killed was no longer considered. soldiers where slaughtered at wills and no body cares. The nation had gone into chaos. The Herders move their cattle at will into farms to destroy it. Infact the farmers where expected not to talk and rather worship the activities of the Herders. a complain by the farmers would result in them being killed. A resistance by the farmers or a fight between the farmers and the Herders are considered by the government an uprise against the government. The farmers are left with no choice than to run away from their ancestral homes. In order to solve the hunger problem, the country resort to the importation of food, thus increasing the level of dependency on other foreign nations and also stimulating an increase in the unemployment and crime in the country, by the way that is the fastest way to have the soldiers for thuggery. The President's son on the loose. The president son had become a god in the nation as he parades himself as if he has been appointed by the people. He harasses, intimidates and kidnapped people at will. The nation is now in chaos. The growth of tribalism, during the previous leaders reign in power, his tribes where considered as the golden tribes and where appointed into positions even when better candidates are from other parts of the country, the current leader followed the same way of tribalism. Nigeria was in chaos. The ruling party's action of silencing opposition has become daring. Nobody dares speak against government's performance. government's policies. Since the emergence of this leadership, rates and taxes has been on the increase. rates and taxes are been increased at an indiscriminate way. When ever, the government or political class needs money, the poor masses should be ready to sacrifice for the enjoyment of the political class. This is the reason why, even the senate president could tell the citizens to make due with poverty. when the instrument of transforming the nation is with him. Treason. When young people protest against the activity of the government, they were charged for treasonable felony. Which means, nobody is allowed to talk in the country. These leaders in power, where the protest leaders some years ago when there party was not in power. Now, nobody is expected to talk, Government of Propaganda. The government is now full of propagandist or instrument of propaganda. Government policies that do not go well with the people are sugar-coated and the propagandist go about defending the policies that were initiated that do not go down well. Japa Syndrome. Because of the economic and security challenges, the number of citizen (both old and young) that are relocating or want to relocate out of the country had increased. Citizens are not found doing menial jobs every where in the country because back here at home, the economy is in a bad state and also, the security situation is in very bad. the nation is in chaos. In the country actions, decisions etc are taking to favour the foreigners that are in the country to exploit the country. Despite the insecurity, foreigners (especially Chinese) are seen in the remote lands in the country exploiting and mining the land for natural resources. Some of these mined items are never accounted for by the Chinese and other foreign exploiters. In fact the presence of these exploiters fuels insecurity in those areas. No wonder, there is insecurity, the government cannot get there, the foreigners are there, then i could sum it up that these foreigners are sponsoring the terrorism
