Warnings from Venezuela.

I just love Nigeria.

This is a country that is blessed by the Almighty beyond our wildest wishes. Yet we are unable to show gratitude for this gift and harness it's benefits for all of us.

What we do is to find excuses to fight each other over trifles. Yet If we fail to live together as wise people, we should surely perish separately as the fools that we would have proved ourselves to be.

Now, Venezuela, has the largest oli reserves in the world. This, in the pedestrian thinking mode, means that country should be the richest in the world. But no. Today, Venezuela is in chaos. Queues for bread are as long as our former fuel queues.

Imagine that, standing in line to buy bread! Many people depend on food aid from the government. Food lorry convoys move around the country under armed military escort, or looters will claim it after hijacking the vehicle. This in a country that should be able to feed itself, or have enough money to import enough.

Nigeria need to take warning, and not allow itself to become more of a warning to other countries. And maybe I should mention that no militant is blowing up any pipelines in VENEZUELA. And they are still in the mess.

Nigeria and Nigerians better know that  what we sow, we reap. We are sowing hatred, we may real mutual hatred and destruction.

  1. It's been two years now since this post. And it is still relevant. Even more so now.

    And that Is very tragic.

    We better be warned, or else.
