Federal Republic Of Shattered Dreams

 By Femi Fani-Kayode

Once again we have witnessed yet another tragic air crash in our nation. And once again it has happened in the usual mysterious circumstances and with the usual attendant loss of life. This is so sad. There is so much death in this country. So many tears. So much evil. So much sadness and so many tragedies. So many shattered dreams, broken hearts and wounded souls. So much injustice and insensitivity. So much greed and want. So much bloodshed, blood-letting and blood-spilling.

Welcome to Nigeria- the Federal Republic of Shattered Dreams. A country in which sadism, failure, iniquity, injustice, wickedness, persecution, cover-ups, lies and abuse of power are enthroned. A land in which “men of God” do not pray but instead sell the anointing and buy private jets.

A country where common decency, kindness and human compassion has no place. A nation in which the rulers pay homage to the baphomet and make open sacrifices to satan.

A country where ignorance and mediocrity is exalted and in which excellence and knowledge is scorned. A nation in which truth has no place and in which those that tell it are hated and treated with contempt.

I weep for my country. May God deliver her from the blood-sucking and relentless demons that plague and afflict her.

May the souls of General Andrew Azazi, Governor Patrick Yakowa and all our other compatriots that persihed in this terrible crash rest in perfect peace.
