The Making Of Nigeria’s Class Society: Masses United In Plagues While Elites Joined In Looting

The class society in Nigeria is massively overt, with preference which is down to some kind of special treatment allocated to particular people both in public and private sectors aid in separating Nigeria’s masses and elites. This has spread across and extended to daily lives of Nigeria citizens, when someone paid more than required amount for particular goods or services, the implied consent that follows, is the gap between the masses and elites, which has grown over the time due to constant practices that have helped in Nigeria’s class society with suppressed voices to talk about the meritocracy and importance of equality overly across the affairs of the country.

Nigeria has a system in place designed for young people to fail, it is the force that kept the “old politicians” in power without making radical changes that is going to cushion development that will be a massive tool for the younger generation in discovery themselves. Nigeria is running a current system- just making plans only for the day, and not preparing for any kind of future for younger generation, even the current system is in colossal failure. It radiates that state of the nation has forced naira into nothing to compare to dollar and European currencies, if an average Nigerian save one naira every single day for a year- that’s 365 days, such person could not be able to live on one dollar per year.

You can’t talk about the future without the younger generation, they need to be included in talking about the paths for them, but in Nigeria the problem of masses and elites have been weaponized by benefactors using hunger and unemployment to fasten their self-interest by deterring the youths from rulership of the country and inclusiveness in major decision taking. There is no democracy going on in Nigeria as a system of government, it is highly abused in Nigeria, where peaceful protesters are killed, where right to peaceful protests have been suppressed and constantly under threats, where marginalization and favouritism are the order of the day, peoples’ representatives are only representing their pockets and ever ready to defect to any political party when it is for their own interest.

Education opens the mind and knowledge takes it on a different level, for more than five months public universities have been shut down due to the union pressing demands which the federal government has failed to honour and has often leads to deadlock in effort to get students back to school. The federal government has alleged lack of funds as the major barrier while same government gave Niger Republic N1.4 billion to help tackle insecurity in their country while Nigeria is in rage, kidnapping, banditry and terrorism has taken the order of the day it is now brute force, a very minute grip that remains of the country will loosen if nothing is done to help the situation.

The masses and elites barriers are the making of Nigeria’s class society which has been weaponized against the masses to keep them in the dark. It is time for mental overhaul amongst the younger generation in Nigeria, it is time to care about what type of government they are going to vote to represent them and be able to hold them accountable where things began to fallout, it is like a contractual obligation where the terms in which you were elected into office have been unable to fulfil for reasonable time then required measure is called into question. The issue of followership needs urgent attention, it is dead in Nigeria that’s why politicians feel free to root and joined themselves in milking the country’s resources and term it “recession”, Nigeria in good hands has what it takes to be a proper giant of Africa.
