Nigerians are being skinned alive, as it were, by politicians. Money is used to shear off our skins in our completely helpless state. The media regrettably seems to be more concerned with generating extra revenue than being the voice of the voiceless, looking the other way as we lay wounded and traumatized. It seems some have lost their voice. Can we blame them?

We brought the darkness upon ourselves when we rejected the light offered by the all-time great Nigerian philosopher and sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo. His light could have taken us to altitudes of achievement that could make Nigeria the reference point for other developing countries. We chose darkness instead.
