WHEN THEY ARE ALL GONE

 The people in the Niger area are so expressive and often find a thing to tie any situation they found themselves to. Although at first they may wail and lament to unfavorable condition which their strong will and resilience can change, but give them little time and life is back to normal.

My interest and fascination about these people  is the culture of blaming the old politicians or the cabal if I may use that nomenclature. They have been seen as the architect of their current predicament which only worsens by the day. On a second thought, I imagined what will happen when they are all gone? Who are the people gearing up to fit into the shoes of these people but with a different orientation that the nation should comes first. 

More saddening is the fact that we have more looters than leaders. An average man on the street in this Niger area if questioned sincerely may admit he will fend for his pocket first before thinking of the nation. This only made me wonder, what killed patriotism and nationalism? We go on and on talking about Ethnicity,Nepotism and tribalism while forgetting "Selfism". 

Selfism is the hall mark of greed and selfishness which puts self above every other thing as seen in the politicians found in the Niger area. That is the gospel of politics they preach, it is so scary that I fear if there will ever be new breed of politicians who are indeed patriotic and care about the Niger area. 

Indeed it is worth pondering on to think, what will happen when they are all gone?
