what's new on the airwaves?

I hate to sound sarcastic, pessimistic, cynical, and gloomy but really what’s the good news on the airwaves. I have been labelled self obsessed, vain always blogging about myself and feeding the Nigerian public with distasteful feminist tales.

crash site at Iju

A week from my high horse and I am worse for wear. Two road mishaps, a plane crash in Ghana from Nigeria and another plane crash in Iju. Suddenly I remembered Lagos was not just about Lekki, Victoria Island, Ikoyi, Ajah, G.R.A, or Allen. Some people somewhere stay in Iju, road network is so poor and yet we are smiling; Year of transformation indeed.

Mr President declares 3days mourning, but is that the root cause. Appealing to sentiments and not dealing with real life issues. For how long are we going to rub powder on a face that is ravaged, for how long are we going to play hide and seek, for how long are we going to keep up with this charade. For how long will people die a death that could be avoided?

You ask if I am disturbed, certainly. If I am going to give up cooing about myself then there should be something to smile about, there should be something to point to as dividend of democracy apart from freedom of speech. There should be better road networks, better infrastructure, affordable housing, checks and balance as regards safety for travellers. If we don’t take ourselves seriously how do we expect Indian, Lebanese, Chinese or any of those cheap labour guys to take us?

If Jonathan and his cabinet takes Nigerians seriously then foreigners doing business in our country, making profit at our expense would treat us with respect. And while still at that, Boko haram is still bombing, people are still dying, yet Jonathan scores himself high..is it not better I  feed you all with my self obsessed thoughts and stories than die an early death thinking about Nigeria and her failed politicians?
