 SOLVING THE HARDSHIP SITUATION IN NIGERIA by Mkpisi.


The expected woes that is betiding the economy of the Nation does not come unexpected nor will it simply be wished away or vanish on it's own benevolence,after all there is a native prose that provides "Okpalu nku aruru si Ngwere bia lu ya olili'(He who fetched Ants infested Fire wood ,was the person that invited Lizards to pay him Homage ).


There are Rubrics to things of life, when it's not observed, certainly the consequences are grand. An English Novelist James Harley Chase said and i provide "There's always a price Tag ", Ndigbo has a saying "Onye nyuchiri nsi uzo na ojije, ga ezute ijiji na nlota " (Whosoever that defecate on his Path while going, must acoust flies that perch on the excrete on his return and they will pester him with thanks as well ).


if you wants to gain admission into Tertiary, there's requirements, including qualifications, even if you manipulated it , but you must make certain sacrifices to maneuver or shadow boxed it ,but there is a requisite for entrance,you can circumvent such but later when it's discovered,you will see how futile it is or say huge waste of time,  you may gain undue advantage because you know the JOSEPH of the time , but when a Pharoh that doesn't roll with Joseph come to justice,he will bring back the ancient Land Map,read the minutes of the olden days meeting and bring down illegal structures,the Worst you do then is to gnash your Gum as in Chim egbuem ooo. 


Same , if you want to fly an Airplane, Train or Ride on Long Distance Buses, there must be ticketing which stands for reservation or right to ride and with purchasing of that Ticket, a particular seat it reserved, which must synchronize with the ticket or they sale seats with consideration to available numbers of seats allotted for commuters, even on System less community like Nigeria,such remains the method.


Applying to visit any nation requires a Visa ,that Visa forwarded your information to the host country internal  Security and they will conduct certain inquiries on and about the person, if the name of the applicant or visitor concide with alarming individual or on any alarming list they will make sure they protect self first. 


The host will have contingent plans to checkmate excesses of the incoming, and the above bring me back to the hullabaloo going on in Nigeria, we want a Blessed dawn, but we didn't make our Bed right even though we know that as a man lay in his Bed , so shall he lay on it.


We simply pour Thorns on our laying place and we expect a lullaby, Lullaby can Only work when a baby is comfy on a stable and soothing resting gadget, just like a Dog who defecate on his Bowl , she should know that her next meal will be a mixture of the real food and her waste. 


Now that we Nigerians defecated on our supper plate, either we eat our porridge with MIXTURE of the excrete or we take our time to launder the plate with necessary detergents.


 If we refuse to clean, cleanse and disinfect, then we may suffer Diarrhea or epidemic that will follow,the gods are never to be blamed. An average Igbo man will use a finger to gesticulate while advising you on better ways, but when you do the opposite and it became sad even, once you go back to him , he will open his two palms and say "agwarum gi agwa" (I told you so).


They are instigating demonstration on EMPTY tummy and I don't think that's a remedy, we should've done such when Democracy availed us the chance and time to determine our next phase of life , but be it as it may , we should live with what we planted,there is no way we planted CORN ans suddenly we crave Mango from Corn tree, ife onye chó ka ófú (You get what you seek).


We can start thinking outside the box if we truly think we made Human errors, so we can outgrow the pains and ran away from punitive that we know must be primitive in nature,after all my Old man said "ewelu gbanu gbanu gwujie Ji,esekpulu ani gwuputa ya "(If out of haste while harvesting, farmer cut his yam in half, you see him bend down on a rolled trousers excavating the half he broke with his hurries ). 


We Nigerians have reached a precipice, unless we looked at our Chronicles and trace our Route, where we deviated, we may wander the dessert just like ISREAL walked a path designed for 40 days (a Month and few days) for 40 Years. Ife na eme anyi si anyi na aka (We are the cause of our problems).


Let's just agree that we are alternating closure of the Bottle when the GENE is out already.


Who will force the free Gene back into the bottle?  Back when Animals had own country, the Cat was making mince meat of Rats, and in a unanimous agreement, they agreed that they must buy a Bell and hung on the neck of the Cat, so whenever he Started coming, it will rattle and rats will hide in advance, so they bought a Bell, brought it home and celebrated the conquer of the Cat.. now wait a minute, as they faced another dilemma "WHO WILL BELL THE CAT ?" Who will go and hung the Bell on the cats Neck ? because that's the First suicide Mission?. 


We should start holding our leaders in lower cadre accountable for monies provided through them which we know they embezzled.


We should start asking one another direct questions of , why we behave the way we do , as everything are skyrocketing just because Nobody to spank us into facing the facts. 


Every trader now , decides to flip high the prices of his or her wares to high heaven, forgetting that what a knife does to sheath, is also what sheath does to knife "ife mma na eme óbó,ka óbó na eme mma" . 


When you throw stone to a filled Market, you can't tell who will get the Hit, after all Dibia na ako otoro ekobero ike na na uko (The Dibia that project Running Stomach did not hang his own anus in a rafter). 


We should start picketing our Leaders, not demonstrating against those who don't care wether we live or die, people who derive joy when things are tough and our days rough. 


We can't be crying that things have fallen apart and yet launder the adulterous nature of crooked and heartless Politicians, just because we want them to create a place for us on his weird world, we must remember that same sentence is passed between a thief and recipient of the stolen article. 


Nigerian don't look at consequences of our actions.. Politicians will loot us dry , not thinking that the people may be too poor and aggressive, because hungry person is always angry ,but Instead to look inward and ask our community leaders including President Generals of Town Union to provide transparent accounting system,we over look it and be looking at Governor and President ,do we not know that  others are doing IT with the first position?.


 when they get into places that has enormous wealth, they will make even most corrupt leaders look like a saint on the Bible days. 


Sellers in the market will surge prices of common commodity, forgetting that once you up your items, that Landlord will be compelled to up his rent to get enough money to shop in same market , transporters will hike theirs as well and at the long run , the money you added will be deducted buying lower items that were jerked to meet up the unnecessary price increase, which is what the British call "Penny wise ,pound foolish" . 


If we are hungry enough, we should stop sucking up to politicians, we can stop them from roaming with litany of convoys , we can dissuade them from prancing about as Lord of the Jungle.

We can make their houses or place of feeding the populace. 


We can start local Farming, stop depending on Chinese Imported items and look inward on how to make use of what we have , as for protesting against the Incumbent, my Mum will say odika iku na mpi Eke (Hitting at the Horn of a Viper).


Above is my two pence, either we start thinking or we sit and enjoy the FAMINE that we booked, after all , he who played football back in the day will  rachaa óroma and our own oroma is ready for us all, oga erute onye óbuna. 


Mazi Odera POg JP is the name, Mkpisi Ndi Egede is the vocation, Last Born Mpa Nnukwu is the insurance.
