Nigeria: A Place Where You Can’t Sleep How Are You Going To Dream?

It is now more difficult than ever for young people to dream in the biggest country in Africa by population. It feels like the leaders have taken the bed which these young people sleep on, they could barely sleep not to think of dreaming. Nigeria has no stronghold you cannot say where the governmental policy is centered, there is no direction in the government, and that is putting the poor masses into unending hardship, where the system is not meant for you and the structure in place keep making it hard for young Nigerians to have a good living, then it is heading towards decay.

The hope and aspirations of younger Nigerians are in collapse, the system has shattered the dreams of a dreamer. For long the system wasn’t design for young Nigerians to have chance to inspire it has been systematic perpetual captivity believing in something they could not see, no conducive atmosphere for young people to learn, education has rock bottom, in a country where the government finds it more comfortable negotiating with “bandits and kidnappers” than university staff to fix the current strike that is keeping young Nigerians out of school, what is more disastrous than this? They have taken the bed away young Nigerians cannot dream again.

It is time for intellectual reawakening, it has always been the time but now the current situation is craving for revival for young Nigerians to have hope that one day, that they could be able to have their beds back so that they could be able to dream and one day wake up with their dream in their faces. Pushing beyond the limits to have what it takes to chase your dream, you have to make a move before your dreams can be actualized, in all circumstance you should always reach for the stars that’s where the hope resides.

Execute in adversity don’t let the system drain you, if it is not working you have to keep pushing, if it is slow keep dragging yourself. Education and enlightenment which is an instrument to fight inconsistency in the government, has been starkly kept away by Nigerian government from the poor masses. Kids growing up in the innermost slums of the country cannot dream again, they no longer know what it is like to keep high dreams, the system has completely denied them everything and they walk aimlessly and the system will pick them from their lowest and use them as instrument of oppression against his own people. It is about hope for young Nigerians, they are not asking for impossible just to return their beds so that they can be able to dream again.
