what am i trying to say

Really, I don't know what I'm trying to say. So why I felt the need to start a blog to share my thoughts, mostly with strangers I have no idea. This is the second blog I've started, I don't even remember when I started the first one but I do remember that I never posted any of my drafts. It could be that I'm just trying to follow the multitude and be part of the next big thing, be part of the web 2.0 generation. Could be.

But as I think about it I think it's because my mind is full, full of thoughts and ideas that I really would love to share with others and I need a medium to let out my thoughts. It's why I have more than 3 current journals. It drives my husband nuts and he's always threatening to throw them away. The problem I have though is that there are too many issues I care about and sometimes, it gets to be too much of an effort to even share it. But that shall no longer be the case. I shall write and write and hope that eventually someone will take notice.

I have a lot to say and my family has been subjected to the most of it but now, hello world.

So what shall we talk about today? I got lots of issues on my mind. We could talk about false prophets and teachers in the Christian community, how about Nigeria's leader and how they've eaten up their children's inheritance and care nothing up the future of that great nation? We could talk about the current elections, anyone with first hand knowledge could share. Oh, I know, let's talk about Nigeria's media and entertainment industry or how there's rarely anything good on NTA, I mean really, NTA's management needs help with transitioning to the 21st century with their crappy programming that's supposed to appeal to an international audience. Or...I could go on forever but instead of doing that. I'll settle on the elections in Nigeria.

The issue that nags at me the most is that there are no fresh faces, no new names. I mean, it's the same set of people all the freaking time. Really, they all need to die, all these old thieving politicians, why are they still here eating up our land and compromising Nigeria's future? I know I sound ignorant but that's how I feel and I make no apologies for it. I want too see educated and intelligent people ruling the giant of Africa, is that too much to ask? I don't think so. I really don't.

I really feel you on this issue even though I try not to focus on it too much now adays. I truly believe that when God himself is really to deal with our leaders he will. Also I believe it is high time we as Nigerians living in the United State should start thinking about going back home not to go into politics but there are alot of opportunities for us cos we have seen the other side. Money speaketh they say! Who knows after going back to posses our possession then God will begin to open up opportunities and entrust us with our land. May be he has not found the right people yet! Maybe he is waiting for u and i!
