Sad Thoughts
<p>Born into a society of revenge mongers, it takes one who's broken to break others, but according to them "everybody must collect", so we have stray bullets hitting people at left, right and center, more broken people everywhere, I dare say if you're an average Nigerian then you're broken.<br></p><p>Sad I guess, as it seems to be the only thing Nigerians refuse to accept but the inevitable truth, this is another topic.</p><p><img src="/media/inline_insight_image/360_F_545793677_ZNFphUZpaFVyP6MXLRAcxoNsR9qRnHqZ.jpg" alt=""></p><p>Ever asked why stand-up comedy and content creators (especially those associated with comedy) make so much money in Nigeria, that's easy, the community is made of sad people with shattered dreams and broken promises or rather broken souls crushed by abominable acts, things a sane society would shun but here's a country that anything goes.</p><p><img src="/media/inline_insight_image/images.jfif" alt=""><br></p><p>We have gone so down the drain, now we seek to escape this tragic encampment of pitiful souls, so drugs offer a hand but camouflaged within is an addictive instinct with a dark ending, for others, it's alcohol, reserved in his ammunition is sleeping in the gutters of streets, most use sex well this story has numerous endings, let's not forget religion which writers refer to it as the opium of society, this is a different topic also.</p><p>We have young people fighting to ensure their children do not face the hardship and hash situations that tore them limb from limb, now broken souls but trying to survive to fix their hurt so as not to do damage to their kids but how can these kids escape this when they are on a path filled with broken teachers, colleagues, doctors, mentors the list goes on and on.</p><p>Sad thoughts......</p><p>This loop seems to be never-ending..</p><p>How does this story end?</p><p>What is our faith?</p>
