SHOCKER!! An abandoned Road for about a Decade in Ogun State

Today, the 29th of October, 2014, I saw and heard the shocker of my life regarding the actual state of an area in this country, Nigeria.
I never knew some places like this still exist and that people still actually move on bare feet in the mud just to make ends for themselves. Nigeria is a great nation; the people are a great and hardworking people, however, some bad eggs are the ones dragging the name of this great country in mud.

Precisely today, I went to a place in Ogun state, Agbara. Lusada to be specific, and I saw the road people moved on. I thought to myself as I saw people move in the mud, "these people are really suffering....and the Government has got to find something to do about this".

Democracy is termed "Government of the people, By the people and FOR THE PEOPLE". If it is actually true that we are under Democratic ruling and the meaning is what is depicts, why is the government not doing anything about this place?

I will not hesitate to commend the Government for the good work in some areas as we see the road construction going on. But every citizen has to feel the good impact of the government on them; not some certain people.

I took up this story because, when I saw that, I interviewed quite a number of people about the state of the road. It is shocking to hear that that road has been that way for about a decade now. Yes! about a decade. For some who need very plain words, it means that the road has been that way for about ten (10) years.

                                 
 

Now I thought to myself, the government is working, but not up to the required expectation. I said this because, those I talked with were very disappointed about the governance in their opinion.

I also was made to understand that there is a Local Government chairman, and also Counsellor in that area. Now, what are these people doing in that office?
Like I said earlier, this nation is a great one, and I am proud to be a citizen, but some bad eggs are just in the office, sitting dormant.

Please, on behalf of the people of Lusada, Agbara Ogun State, we plead to the Government to look for a solution to the problem they are facing right now. I am a "Nobody" if you would ask who is this talking, but i am just a good citizen of this country who wants a better Nigeria, tomorrow.

Thanks, God bless you and I, and God bless Nigeria.
