			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am a nigerian,a country sunk in economic and political hazards and waterloo. But in view of my countries condition and predicament,this is what i have to say. Believe me or not,this is my own view and i think that a lot of reasonable people out there and nigerians with a non-biased heart will share it too. just read and criticise me if you think i am just blabbing.I think the white man over there  and a few selected nigerians&#8217;s are to blame for my dear countries situation</p>
<h1>      <span style="text-decoration:underline;">NATIONAL TRANSITION</span></h1>
<p><span style="color:#008000;"><strong>PRE-COLONIAL DAYS;</strong></span></p>
<p>I was alone</p>
<p>I walked long distances</p>
<p>I cooked with fire woods</p>
<p>I had no money</p>
<p>I clothed With leaves,hides and skin</p>
<p>I  had all i wanted</p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#008000;">COLO</span><span style="color:#008000;">NIAL </span><span style="color:#008000;">DAYS;</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">The white man came</span></p>
<p>He drove automobiles</p>
<p>He cooked with stoves</p>
<p>He had much money</p>
<p>He wore good clothes</p>
<p>All these i emulated</p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#008000;">POST COLONIAL DAYS</span></strong>;</p>
<p>The white man is gone</p>
<p>I have automobiles</p>
<p>Fuel is expensive</p>
<p>I cook with stove and cookers</p>
<p>Kerosine and gas is on the hike</p>
<p>I have money</p>
<p>Inflation has made it devalued</p>
<p>I have clothes</p>
<p>Too tattered to be worn</p>
<p>Now i can&#8217;t afford</p>
<p>Even my neccesities&#8230;</p>
<p>Nigeria has gained her independence over forty-eight years ago, but we are still yet to make head way in the routes shown to us by the white-man.</p>
<p>I will blame the white man for the first mistake of releasing the mantle of authority into the wrong people who initially started the corridors of power tossle in the then CAPITAL CITY (LAGOS STATE). Any way, i think that the white man is not all that a fool because he had looked and seen the endless possibilities that lie in this blessed country ranging from;</p>
<ul>
<li>OIL</li>
<li>GAS</li>
<li>BANKING SECTOR</li>
<li>AGRICULTURE</li>
<li>ART and CULTURE.</li>
</ul>
<p>To the blame allocated to the nigerian persons,it will be un-important to list names but i will however give hints to indebted individuals</p>
<p>More grace to all the military musketeers</p>
<p>Ex-ministers and governors/present ones&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..</p>
<p>                                                                    watch out for the next posting</p>
<p>                                                                           lots of respect&#8230;Alvin Gold</p>
