Is Nigeria really a country or a joke? Why is it that the only thing the government excels at is granting holidays? If people are struggling to survive, how does mandating that they not work solve their problems? Is it that the government thinks that it, not the human beings of Nigeria, is to be served? Or is it that the government does not understand that its holiday declarations are taken as mandates? Why does the government continue to think that it is to be served as opposed to it serving people? Is it that the people running the government are incapable of thinking or that they assume that the people are imbeciles? Or could it be that these people are so fanatical in their religious beliefs that they look past human beings that they were “elected” to serve in the service of the almighty? My last question is “is there hope for Africa”?
