Fantasies For A Better Nigeria - The Fallen Giant Of Africa

If you eat gala and wash it down it with a bottle of coke and then dump the carcass at any side of the road, then you shouldn’t be seen anywhere around an argument about a better country. If you give or take bribes, you sure do not deserve a space in a country which seeks growth. If you are up to 18 and you do not care about obtaining a voter’s card how much more using it wisely during elections, then you do not deserve a space in the country. If you are paid to do a job and you half-ass it and deliver a shoddy output because you want to have more gain, you should be in a zoo playing with any animal that is kind enough to accept you in their kingdom.

Last month was all kinds of eventful - we saw the good, the bad and the very ugly happen right under our noses. We have cried, we have cursed out, so it is time to step into a different phase. It's the second half of the year already? Have you achieved half of all you set out to achieve this year? I learnt something about the second half and the summary is that the ending part of a thing is usually better than its beginning. You may wonder why. The reason is not far-fetched. The second half is like a second chance. A time to correct all the flops you had during the first half. If you are an ardent follower of the World Cup 2018, you must have observed that players always did better in their second half than in the first. Do you know why?
