The most challenging issue in Nigeria

Classes struggle: the most challenging issue in Nigeria

 
  "Only a classless society will survive in a democratic race"----Karl Marx.
No doubt, Nigeria is operating a "democratic" system of government theoretically not practically!
How would a democratic nation survive in the absence of "classless society"?
An attempt to discuss this "devilish act" would be made on this chapter.

     In the early hour of October 1, 1960. Nigerians hoped that; the day was meant to be the last day of their calamities.
But in the real sense, reverse was the case!
Classes struggle/race in Nigeria right from 1960 hitherto is "emotionally challenging" and "heartbreaking"!
This act has made the Universal Declaration Of Human Right (UDHR) of the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December, 1948 fruitless in Nigeria.
 
 As if that was not enough, this factor (especially political struggle) has been a "do or die" affairs among the power seekers.
How do you expect someone that has spent almost all his properties to funding a political campaign to perform well if he eventually gain the power?
Take it or leave it, everything in Nigeria this days has turned to "businesses"!
To worsen the case, Churches, Mosques, and Shrines that are meant to be the spiritual backbone of all countrymen has neglected their duties and pursuing wealth instead.

   Had it been Nigeria is a classless nation, she wouldn't have recorded such enormous/series of injustice occurrences over the years! Injustice is been done in government places, religion organisations, commercial associations, educational unions, economic environment and to worsen the case; among the masses. All these are happening just because of classes struggles between and among people.
   
The issue of classes struggle has drawn Nigeria backward politically, economically, culturally and socially over the years.
The fact is; Nigeria will not achieve anything significant (especially politically and economically) until the day she shun this devilish act and embrace the truth.
     
                 SOLUTION
Plato said to Aristotle; "you are my friend, but truth is my greater friend"
     Instead of blaming (political) office holders , we should proffer solutions to Nigeria's challenging issues. Every citizens of Nigeria should encourage a classless society as the major remedy to this inhuman act.
     Not only that the government officials are perpetrating evils in Nigeria as a lot of people think----but shameful enough, the masses encourages it.
I agree with Martin Luther King jnr when he said; "there may be times we might be powerless to prevent injustice, but there mustn't be a time we should be unable to protest it".
If really the government is the prime mover of injustice as people claims; why do they (people) fold their arms then?
I wholeheartedly enjoy all Nigeria citizens to stand up against this criminal act in one accord!
     I think Napoleon Hill made sense when he said; "there is always a remedy whenever there is a readiness"
Unless we are ready to face the reality, this land will always be in delusion.
Nigeria can possibly switch to a "developed" nation if she is willing to pay the prise her counterparts in Europe(e.g Germany, France etc) paid economically, politically and socially.
And locally, retain her position as the giant of African continent.
In this regard, Nigeria stand a better chance to succeed politically and economically ( even socially).
     Furthermore, I urge everyone in Churches, Mosques, schools, offices, associations, unions etc to agree with George Bush when he said; "no any government can succeed in her struggle to curbing corruption without the support of her citizens".
     To put the matter briefly, every patriotic citizens that want the progress of our dear nation(Nigeria); especially politically and economically should desist the act of shifting all blames on government and take up the responsibility (face the truth/reality).
We (citizens) should discourage this sha meful, criminal, devilish, destructive and inhuman act before it get out of hand instead of encouraging it.
      God bless Nigeria.
