THE PANDORA'S BOX CALLED NIGERIA.

Sometimes, it is not wrong to pity any leader of Nigeria at any point in time. This is because any attempt to really fix any problem has a way of coming up with or against Nigeria, the Pandora's box with unexpected and mostly negative contents.
Take President Muhammadu Buhari's self appointed mission to clean up Nigeria after his first but short lived attempt way back as military dictator.
Forgetting conveniently that he himself has the unexplained 53 suitcases hanging over his saintly body language, what has emerged so far is that there is hardly any one in Nigeria who can be depended on to be foot soldier for the war against corruption. Even teenagers have since been coopted to find a place in the quicksand called corruption, not talk of wives and friends who import their brand from meetings they attend while asleep.
Now the president is talking about dealing with those who engaged or engage in election rigging. Unfortunately this too includes those who fund presidential campaigns by deeping their hands into public funds under their care. More importantly, it also embraces all who, while answering the call of their own concept of God, end up even doing things ordinarily they would never have dreamt of doing.
As a matter of fact, every attempt to judge and point accusing fingers in a spiritual jungle like Nigeria is tantamount to asking the devil to come down and pass judgement on his servant the mind, with which we hate and love at the same time.
The way to fight any spreading social ill in present day Nigeria is not to point accusing fingers in public glare or witch hunt for political reasons or gains but to isolate teen Nigerians from very young age from the tentacles of such ills.
Of course, this will be impossible to do because it will mean isolating them from money worship by parents especially mothers from tender age or massively doing the more impossible to debrief today's Nigerians from so many cages we have built for the nation or for our individual selves.
In that case, the best option really for any determined leader is not an expressed commitment to take people out of poverty, but real focus on getting as many Nigerians as possible to add values to the common till from which, hopefully, prosperity will spread to individuals according to their value addition and of course, according to the Will of God.
