Dear Mr. President Sir: When I learned that you would be
returning yesterday, I was glad because it means you eventually listened to our
cries and yearnings. You have returned at a time when our country needs you
most to surmount the crucibles battering us as a people and a nation. Though
for a very steep price, we never allowed our voices to go unheard and we are
glad you ultimately listened to us.
You have returned at a time when our great country is
battling a slew of disastrous storms. This is a difficult time in our national
history where insightful and sagacious leadership is greatly required. Now that
you are back stronger, I would like you to become the rescuer that our country
terribly needs at this trying time.
As you may know, millions of students are currently at home
doing nothing because their schooling was suddenly disrupted by the decision of
their disgruntled lecturers to go on an indefinite strike. Some of these
students are 3 months away from becoming graduates. This is the time to
rekindle their hope before they become a nonentity to themselves and nuisance
to the society. You must expediently attend to our ever-debilitating education
sector, massively increase the budget for education and treat not only the
ministers and permanent secretaries but also the lecturers and school heads
alright. If the lecturers are well-paid and paid as at when due, they will
gleefully impart knowledge onto our children who will become the leaders of
this great nation tomorrow.
Ensuing from my research, no Nigerian university is
currently among the top 20 universities in Africa. This is a shame for a
country touted as the Giant of Africa. We must raise the standard of our
education sector tremendously. A country with a vibrant education is a country
with a bright future. By investing massively in education, we indubitably
bolster productivity in our economy and also transformational innovations that
would avail our country of real greatness.
Further to this Mr. President, one of the most pernicious
threats beleaguering us today is insecurity of lives and properties. We are
constantly being battered and forced to the grim reaper by different monsters
in different quarters of the nation. In the north, the Boko Haram sect, Fulani
herdsmen, the October 1st ultimatum and the IPOB agitation still depredating
lives and properties. The people in other parts of the country are not safe
either. Kidnappers are increasing by the day and hoodlums are flooding the
streets every other day. This is the time to deliver on the mandate the
Nigerian people gave to you. I believe that you will take every necessary step
to quickly bring an end to these national threats just as you work assiduously
towards exterminating the perennial economic hardship besetting the country.
I wish you long life and sound health Mr. President. Once
again, you are welcome!
Areafada (CharlyBoy)
President of all Frustrated Nigerians.
