THE NIGERIA OF MY DREAM

Before going to bed, I had to eat something. I opened the fridge and yes, every foodstuff inside my fridge had turned into block; the light had been on for eight years without going off. I finished eating and went to bed.

Oh! I have to reduce the speed of the fan, the voltage is too high. I woke up very early in the morning to the sound of classical music. I casually strolled into the bathroom.

The cold is too much this morning; I turned on the hot water tap.

While toweling myself dry, I turned on the radio and heard the presenter speaking of how Nigeria is now one of the most developed countries in the world and how the Nigerian president yesterday declared his asset and all he had  to boast of was N20million  and a duplex  I his state.

I finished dressing and took my time to eat, after all I had no reason to rush because the roads is always free and had no pot holes. On my way, I saw a few policemen patrolling and I greeted them. I stopped to chat with them for a few minutes after which I drove off laughing into my workplace.

I saw some people loitering in the waiting room and discovered that they came for an interview.

I saw the son of the permanent secretary, I also saw a man with tattered clothes and patched-up trouser, he graduated recently from one of the government universities, but everyone could testify to the fact that he was brilliant.

While going home that day, I saw the man with the tattered shoes smiling and I asked him why,

“Sir, I have been given the job” “What! What of the permanent secretary son?’ Didn’t his father call before hand” “No, he replied he didn’t” 

That evening, I went out to play in the neighbourhood, I saw Adamu and Obinna discussing the recent trend in the country.

How Mallam Danjuma is now the Governor of Rivers state, Senator Abifarin Olufemi is now the Governor of Borno State.

Mr Godfrey Chijioke is now the Governor of Oyo State.

Then I had a mosquito bite on my nose, as I slapped my face, I woke up and realized…

I only wish the dream was real and I could continue in the dream world.

But one day, I know that the Nigeria of my dream will become a reality. I will keep praying about the Nigeria of my dream.

Do you believe in the Nigeria of my dream and do you see it becoming a reality in few years to come?
