I truly wonder what one is expected to do in a state of hopelessness....Sometimes I feel like I am stunted as a result of my nationality!!!
Yea, I sound like I am frustrated....that's only because I feel very helpless, and as you may be aware, being in a state of helpnessness for too long will eventually lead to hopelessness.
Today, the 1st of October 2009 marks the 49th independence anniversary of my country...Nigeria. Hold on...before you start to think that this event calls for celebration, it is very far from that.
A country at 49 with virtually nothing to show for it....not even the basics (no electicity, no portable water, no hospitals, no good schools...too numerous to mention). The universities have been on strike since the 22nd of June 2009, the leaders are sooo corrupt, the followers are too timid and too illiterate to make a change, most of the youths have joined the bandwagon of scammers.....I can go on and on about the numerous problems that frustrate me and other reasonable citizens, but I honestly don't want to sound like a pessimist....I just want a way out of this so that I can maximize my potentials. As the saying goes, a fool at 40....I leave the rest to you to complete.
So to anyone out there reading this, who may care to lend a helping hand to help me further my studies, I'll really appreciate all the financial help I can get....however little (what seems insignificant to you, might just be someone else's saving grace). To be sincere with myself and everyone, a job that earns me less than $200 a month, cannot help me further my studies in France next year.
I'll be looking forward to your comments and help.
With gratitude,
Tosin.
