Famous Nigerian singer, Simi, has said that the state of
Nigeria presently is not conducive for an average citizen.
Simi said choices made by leaders have killed so many dreams
of young Nigerians.
Highlighting the cost of fuel, ASUU strike amongst other
things affecting the country, Simi mentioned that for every one person that is
living their dreams, there are thousands just trying not to die.
On her Twitter page, she wrote: “I think the most dangerous
thing about Nigeria is that it has killed too many dreams. All the things that
we’ll never get to see because the nation is not conducive enough for the
average person to dream and build.
“For every one person that is living their dreams, there’re
thousands just trying not to die. It’s a hard truth, but it is the truth.
“You can’t just say ‘Chase your dreams’ – when people are
studying courses they settled for and then spend 8 years doing a four-year
course, because of strike.
“You cannot just say ‘if you can think it, you can do it’ –
when the capital you’re supposed to use to buy product has become fuel money.
Can’t just say ‘Get up and make it happen’ when you spend half your adult life
in senseless traffic on bad roads going to a job you hate.
“You cannot just say ‘Take risks’ when people just trying to
get by are kidnapped and killed in broad daylight.
“I wish our leaders would actually settle down and think
about how their choices not only affect the economy, and other obvious sectors
of the country, but also how it’s destroying our potential for a great future.
“The ripple effect of wickedness is thorough. And when this
generation of leaders finally gets old enough to leave us alone, I hope it
would not be too late.”
