It's a crazy world we live in. The problems and challenges in the society are not novelty to any of us. We know the solutions. But where people are not ruled by the people they're interested in, it is foolhardy to proffer solutions and offer one's services where such are apparently not required by the rulers.
Not many
have the slightest opportunity to abscond from this country. They neither have the idea of where to run to nor the means of escape. Even the elite who seem to have all it takes to earn a greener pasture still express fear of uncertainty outside their fatherland.
What then can the governed do than to perish in a life of nightmare in their own country.
With my last penny I rented an apartment. The rents expired last five years, and my pocket speaks well no longer. Oh! My landlord! Bless his soul ... he made it rentfree until I could have the means to offset payment for the accommodation.
But today, like a bad dream, the house is marked 'X' for demolition, and I'm leaving for an unknown destination ... just anywhere I can bury my tired head in this country. Which country? You, decide.
