World acclaimed Jamaican reggae crooner had a song Struggling Man. Part of the lyrics of the song went thus: As the sun lights the day and the moon lights the night, Struggling man keeps reaching for the higher heights. So we plan for tomorrow as we live for today. Like a flower we bloom and then later fade away.
This is exactly what my dear country, Nigeria has turned into. A struggling country, and like Jimmy Cliff sang, Nigeria has become like a flower which blooms but later fades. And fast too I add.
