The word searching comes in when you lost something or somebody. The idea on this article may be deep to assimilate the center message, but don't be confused or get lost.
Nigeria is a nation comprises of different people from different ethnic background. Is not a one man county or belong to one religion. That what makes us a nation.
Before Nigeria got her independence, there were struggles and wars by our great heroes. We all celebrates our freedom. But I ask, are we really free? Have we really got the independence? Maybe because we are free from bondage and serving other countries.
Now let's come back home. To ask again, are Nigeria citizens experiencing freedom? Are we enjoying the benefits of been a citizen? These are critical questions that requires deep reflections.
In the past years, Nigeria is balance. Things were moving well and everyone loves to identify himself or herself as a Nigerian, not until things started falling apart to the point where we found ourselves now.
I most confess that I have never experienced difficulties and challenges like now. Why so? Answer still not found. For the past ten to fifteen years Nigeria has been in a state of mess and shambles. We have elected different political leaders from different parties, and from different religions but yet things remain the same. Where can we run to for help? Who will deliver us from this bondage? Oh! God of mercy, help us!
From 2015 Nigeria started experiencing a set back, thinking it will get better but it keep getting worse. Right now Nigeria is no where to be found. Let's serch for Nigeria.
We enter 2023 still hoping things will get better compared with the challenges Nigerians expericed last year. Killing, kidnapping and all forms of unexpected attack by terrorists, and insecurities all over the country. Now reverse is the case. What are we facing now? Currency policy that has affected the country.
When the CBN governor introduced this cashless policy, we all taught it was a joke, but he meant it. Many Nigerians if not all have been affected. Set back in running businesses, parents finding it difficult to pay their children school fee, health challenge, no means for transportation, tenant are unable to settle their rent, hunger everywhere, etc.
Due to this change of new currency, many have lost their lives while some are lying in the hospital looking hopeless and frustrated. Do we really have conscience? Let our conscience judge us if we think what we are doing to ourselves is the right way.
My fellow Nigerians, let's serch for Nigeria. I call on other countries to help us serch for Nigeria. Our country is missing. We don't know where it is now. There is a gloomy shadow everywhere. Tears everywhere, and a sharp voice is crying aloud, WHERE IS NIGERIA
You informed us not to use old money, where is the new money? You brought the policy we didn't kick against it even though there where observations and suggestions, but yet you stand your ground. Am talking now directly to CBN governor. Do you consider how the masses feel? Do you understand the pains of the masses? Do you know what people are experiencing? Do you really have human feelings? Maybe you are acting base on the instructions giving to you by some wolves we call leaders. A good leader cares about his followers and how they feels.
Furthermore, what more can I say, nothing but calling on all Nigerians to join our faith and pray for our country. Let everyone raise because its right time to vote wisely. We should not allowed bad history to repeat itself again.
Above all, I pray for a new Nigeria. I pray to God to help us survive this hardship.
Please help share this article so we can all go in serch of Nigeria.
