Many years ago,
toxic waste was dumped in Koko, Nigeria. It was said that the information came
out when Nigerians abroad were being mocked because tons of toxic waste were
dumped in our doorstep and yet we had no knowledge of it. I remember then that
the Nigerian government and other patriotic Nigerians worked hard to restore
Nigeria’s image and credibility. These days, a lot of toxic things are been
dumped right in front of us too often that any efforts to repair Nigeria’s
image is worthless. Those things are even more toxic than those waste dumped in
Koko years ago. Are you wondering what they are? Just tune the news! I’m not
talking about NTA. Tune in to BBC, CNN, Aljazeera, Channels, and AIT and then
go online and browse Nigeria news on Google and YouTube. Please watch the Video
of the River State Assembly mayhem on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cI3wU4jZRCQ). Those Nigerians who fought tirelessly against the
dumping of the toxic waste in Koko would find it hard to comprehend how those
who swore to preserve and protect the image of this country only succeed in
making it a laughing-stock on a daily basis. Gani Fawehinmi, Fela, and other
late social crusaders would turn in their graves were they able to hear the
toxic news from Nigeria. Pathetic garbage!
