Sarafadeen Alade wrote On the occasion of Nigeria’s Independence Anniversary, I deem it fit to say that Nigeria has a long way to go. It’s high time we stopped deceiving ourselves with nominal figures, rather than real structures to show for it. We cannot continue to suffer from money illusion. In developed nations, there won’t be noise on amount spent, you only hear and see of projects completed at highest standards, even from layman’s point of view. Our problems are encompassed in what I refer to as 7is which are insecurity, infrastructuraldecay, informational inadequacy, insincerity, intolerance , both ethnically and religiously, even within the family settings and nation, ill-individualistic thoughts and illiteracy, not essentially of western education, but primarily of right values and norms. I still believe we have some sincere leaders, though few, but their impacts are being perturbed by predominantly devilish people, who in number, have, more than overwhelmed them, thereby making it look like all are devils, as their impacts “approximate to zero”, while the impacts of devilish people “approximate exponentially to infinity”. I have few questions to ask our leaders and they’re both simple and direct. Since independence, about 53 years ago, which of infrastructuresis fixed and when shall we stop campaigning with those which are considered basic necessities in some nations with lower natural resources than ours, but which they continue to paint as privileges to us in our dear Country? I am in London only for three weeks now and I have learnt a lot about the working of the economy. In all facilities in London, capital city are all in other cities and one can imagine this even distribution of facilities, across the whole England. Our leaders do come here and to other great places and I keep wondering if they don’t see those, which I see , much more than needed to learn from. God willing, Nigeria I had in mind is a possibility where people will think of the nation, first , before their personal interests
