Without beating about the bush, I will let you know why I write. You have insinuated as much as that I must be earning some income from my writings and your colleagues have openly said to me that it is because I want to be famous that I write. Well I am convinced without a doubt that you know better now; but what you know still does not say why I write. I write because I have the skills to write; my writing skills makes me appear sharper than you because I am able to bring out my thoughts in an organized manner that is acceptable and appealing enough for my audience to expend their precious moments out of curiosity to decipher my thoughts. You have so much to say but you refuse or you cannot put it down in writing. I would have been a preacher and if I chose to be a preacher, because I cannot afford all the razz, glim/glam or schisms which are prerequisite to owning or registering a church in Nigeria, maybe I would acquire a megaphone and take to tormenting and disturbing the peaceful sleep of my neighbours. I write because I love my country and I want to reach the hearts of the agents of darkness who have wrestled the reins of power from the children of Nigeria. I want to expose them for the proponents of darkness that they are. I write to let you, my dear brothers and sisters know that we must resist them and shun them because the wealth they flaunt and dangle before us is truly the franchise of the land of Nigeria and her children. I want you, my brothers and my sisters to see them as the creeps that they truly are and urge you to do all within your rights and decency to stand up and defend your birthrights. I truly desire to the point of being disrespectful to you that you get off your butts and start working towards securing and holding positions in the political administration and management of Nigeria and her vast resources. You still ask why I write? I will not write again; I have written all that needs to be written and it is now up to you to play your own part. Nigeria can never get better or get healed for as long as you remain arm-chair political commentators or activists of one form or the other. What are you afraid of; your age? You think at 21 you are not old enough to have a say in what happens in the corridors of power? Politicians of the old brigade and the corrupt new-generation politicians are strategizing and positioning themselves in view of how they will remain in power indefinitely and there is absolute silence from the camp of the generation of new Nigerians. This is a good time to start running; we do not need to wait till the dying minutes because that will simply imply the need for settlement which has become the scourge of Nigerian youths. GOD bless Nigeria.
