The just-concluded election in my country, Nigeria, was said to be the best election we ever contested, but some quarters feel otherwise.
The reason why I am writing this piece is born out of honor and pride, and a total understanding of some of the so-called Nigerian elites who feel necessary to report my independent sovereign nation to their daddies abroad: the United States and England.
Some people believe the last election had some issues, but nevertheless, the government has an election tribunal and judicial systems to solve whatever issues we have internally, without outside involvement.
But our so-called Nigerian elites, by birth only and stolen privilege, feel it necessary to call their master in the western world to come help us solve our internal problems. Some of these elitist fools were just insulted in France not long ago. Imagine some French somebody asking me in the 2020s if we have book shops in Nigeria? I guess they are too educated to know what that means.
Nigeria’s independence was won without a single gunshot. Our great leaders Hamad Belo, Obafemi Awolowo, Anthony Inahoro, Tafa Balewa, and Nnamidi Azikiwe, sat and negotiated our independence without a single shot. They will personally swear for you educated fools.
The United States and England have been helping a lot lately i.e: Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Somalia; they are currently helping in Ukraine, and soon in Taiwan.
If you buffoons take some time off your busy schedules, you would understand what those countries are going through. The people that call your country a “shit hole,” that kill most of our great leaders, the people that create all kinds of war among us, and just because your preferred candidate loses—we should lose 63 years of independence, abi?
A Nigerian reporting Nigeria to any western country because of an internal problem is shameful and disrespectful, and as such they should lose their Nigerian passport. They can move in and stay with the king in England.
Nigeria is the pride of Africa, the pride of Blacks all over the world, and her best time is yet to come, with her natural resources and very talented youths contributing to her development in every corner of the globe. Yes, some have issues, but they understand Nigeria is home and we fight and uphold her honor.
I refuse to change the tone of this piece so I can be reported to their new king. May God bless the Federal Republic of indivisible lovely Nigeria.
