Nigeria at this point as a Nation should not be considered a developing Nation, in fact I consider it as an insult for it to be so addressed, but several years of bad leadership and gross mismanagement of resources, have made a great Nation a sleeping giant. I foresee a generation of worthy men that will arise and shake up things and revive the great entity called Nigeria. The Story of the Niger-Delta people, is a story of a people languishing in poverty, who have decided to “take the bull by the horn”. The means by which some of its people deem fit to achieve their aim could be quite questionable. Some time ago they were the ones appealing (the beggars) to the government to come to their aid and do something about their degrading lands, now the reverse is the case, the government are now the ones appealing ( the new beggars) to them to lay down their weapons and come around for peaceful dialogue. Guess this is a “ Tale of the two beggars”. I once again state that violence is not the best solution to any crisis or grievance. The lesson from this story is quite clear and instructive, the issue of poverty in whatever form or in whichever part of the world concerns all of us, one of its most destructive and rather unfortunate traits is that it breeds violence, so as a people, we should try our best to do the little we can to help those in need in whatever society we find ourselves. Governments all over the world should also learn to address issues of their people immediately they arise , as any form of delay could actually worsen the situation, a stitch in time saves nine.
