A Nation That Has Everything but Lacks Everything By Faduri Oluwadare Joseph

A Nation That Has Everything but Lacks Everything By Faduri Oluwadare Joseph

The Tinubu government has become a cruel joke. How do you boast about paying off a loan only to immediately seek another? Who is deceiving who? When some Nigerians celebrated this administration's so-called loan repayment, I warned them: loan payments do not equate to development or positive change in the life of the average Nigerian.

We removed fuel subsidies, claiming it would save the country billions. We claimed increased revenue. Yet we continue borrowing like a bankrupt addict. What kind of jungle are we running? This isn’t governance—it’s organized irresponsibility. We are led by a government enabled by a rubber-stamp National Assembly that refuses to question the rationale behind these loans.

Until the people decide to take their country back, these leaders will not stop wrecking the economy and squandering our future. Nigeria must one day come to terms with the reality: we desperately need a generational shift in leadership—a move away from these recycled politicians to a new breed with vision, integrity, and empathy.

In less than three years, Tinubu’s administration has borrowed over ₦63 trillion. Where is the accountability? Recovered looted funds are reportedly being relooted, and no one is held to account. There is no consequence, no law and order. Corruption flows through this administration like water through a broken dam.

Meanwhile, millions of Nigerians are trapped in poverty. The economy is in ruins. Roads are crumbling. Food and living costs are sky-high. Unemployment remains rampant. Insecurity grips every region like never before. And still, the borrowing continues—with zero transparency or traceable development to show for it.

It is shameful that a nation that once lent to others now borrows beyond what it can manage. Someday, Nigerians must wake up and start asking their so-called elected—often imposed—representatives hard questions. What role are they playing to curb the excesses of this administration? Or are they simply complicit, benefiting from the same corrupt system?

We are a nation that has everything—resources, intellect, resilience—but lacks everything in leadership, accountability, and justice.

May Nigerians rise to help themselves, because God will not do for us what we refuse to do for ourselves. Until then, these leaders will continue to take over 200 million people for granted.
