Pondering at midnight

 I woke up at midnight pondering on a lot of things, Nigeria most especially. I am so happy for the Americans. They wanted change and they got it, thinking ours is still some years away.  Not 1, not 2, but 3 years. We are strong, there is so much happening. Inflation, rise in poverty, failed education system, poor infrastructure, no security for lives and property, no constant supply of electricity. The list is endless.  The lives of the youth and future leaders are at stake. The academic body of universities (ASUU) has been on strike for months now, the negotiation for a more convenient payment platform has been unending. It's so shameful. Every day in this country is taking a risk. I honestly wish for change now. It's sad to watch this never-ending movie Nigeria.  I also sincerely do not understand why a leader who once failed at his duty to lead is seeking an opportunity to lead again. Maybe I will have some relief,  don't know when or how it will happen but I am hopeful

Firstly the Pandemic and a day Nigerians will never forget, ' October 20th, 2020. #lekkimasaccre  That should be a day set aside to honour those we lost. The brave ones who stood their ground and would never shift fighting for a better Nigeria for those born and unborn. How would I speak of this day without talking about Dj switch. I am in awe of how brave she was. Even in the heat of the shootings and her own life at stake. She wouldn't bend and aired the whole event using her Instagram life. May the souls of all we lost rest in peace. Are you feeling the harmattan already? It's going to be my favorite time of the year soon. Who else is excited about Christmas? I will try to keep you updated and do a random post daily in December. Life has been happening and I have been so busy. I think the award of best mum should
