Backward Slide (cont.)
After decades of continuous neglect of the system that should produce progressives, industrialists and nation builders, the fruit of the mischievous seed that was planted in the past has come to hunt us.
The nation digressed from civility to criminality and animosity, this calamity is the result of the death of the educational system. The attendant effect of this action, is the rise in militancy, rebellion, agitation and corruption of such proportion as the nation has never known in its long history. Everybody seems to have lost their sense of humanity, showing disregard for human life and constituted Authority. In every region, warlords are rising by the day claiming territories through callousness and wanton destruction of lives and possessions, making terrorism a lucrative organization. Arms and ammunition are generously distributed in the manner one would distribute free samples. No conscience, no godliness only barbarism and chaos all stemming from collapsed educational system.
With the activities of the warlords in the one hand, in the other is the massive looting of the national treasury by the politicians. Corruption in such a Mammoth scale, with no consideration for the nations future and the generations yet unborn. Political office holders some, beneficiaries of the well tailored and vibrant educational system and others products of a malfunctioned educational systems, have become demi-gods, living in affluence and controlling the minds of their subjects. Intimidation and incarceration through the instrumentation of state security and law enforcement institutions, has taking presidency over human rights.
The nation has become confused and a shadow of what it once was, what becomes of its tomorrow remains uncertain. I only hope and pray.
