The trend of Slavery in Nigeria is still continuously moving in every tick of the clock. And, Neo-colonialism can be seen as a colonization or enslavement of citizens of a given country by its citizens (some brother citizens) and they became an agent of such of evil former colonial matsers. Although, there was a drama in 1960 which marked Nigeria as an independent state by gaining independence from its colonial masters. The law was taken for granted by the executive arm of government.
Why I called the 1960 event as merely a drama? This is because of the draconian nature of their leadership style and other fundamental reasons as follows;
Firstly, the colonial masters came to Africa to allure our wealth (resources) and maltreat or enslave our citizens as their slaves, then it reached to the situation whereby they realized that there was a need of what is called 'Modernization' to legitimize their actions in order to continue with their evil acts, so they took a decision and finally brought the idea of giving independence and attached it with 'English written laws',. This is what we termed as "Giving a gift with the right hand and collecting it with the left hand". Remind you! this law is dictating what the former colonial masters likes or do not like, and we as a so-called independent state can not do anything outside the confine of these laws, except what the laws says. Furthermore, our resources go straight to them (Western powers) without getting anything in-return and also they continue exploiting our people not in the traditional (old style) of slavery but in more exorbitant one the modern style.
Secondly, Depriving our citizen's human rights and freedoms for instance; No person or group of persons have the full right to protest or stand against government, that person(s) or movement will either be declared or treated as a terrorist group, simply because these people are claiming for their constitutional rights which needlessly abused by this tyrant and oppressive government.
Thirdly, the last but not the least, the people in the helm of affairs (government) the so-called leaders are just their statue. Of course they are, because they are busy receiving directs and orders from the same modern colonial masters who are called imperialists. Infact, they're working for their masters, siphoning our resources and stealing from the public treasury.
*NIGRIA IS A CAPITAL HOME OF INJUSTICE*
Painfully, things are bad in this country, now getting even worser than before. This country is because even the law markers are not obeying the law, most especially the executive, they wrongly felt that they're above the law, now they do whatever they want and nobody can abash them, because when it comes to the judicial sector, they're the one who choose or appoint whoever (judge) would dance to their tunes and have a full dictates over him out there, therefore there is nothing they can do justly and if not they will fear to loose their jobs. Same case to the legislative in short we have only one arm of government instead of three i.e Executive, Judicial and Legislative Arms of Government
*WAYS OF SORTING OUT THE PROBLEMS*
Base on our own thinking and understanding, the main way of getting rid of all these problems are not that many or difficult to understand, because I felt that this few reasons may bring vital in solving majority of social problems of this country and the entire world at large.
Therefore, they can be discussed and outlined as follows;
*UNITY*
There must be unity for a society or even a State at a large to develop, lack of this unity it's our major problem because we have a wrong belief that, if my tribe or religion is not the victim of some tragedy, then let them go to hell and God may punish them, which is very wrong, because if they finished with the other tribe or religion they would certainly turn to your own direction because the problem is not tribe or religion, but is the Wealth God has blessed this country (Nigeria) with and you are also a member of this country, so for them to get that they can go extra mile, they can even kill and destroy properties, what is happening in Zamfara is a good example to us, so for this we need to come together as the citizens of this great country and show these merciless politicians that enough is enough!
*KNOWLEDGE AND EDUCATION*
To be a very reasonable and sound thinking individual, you need to have a very good educational background so that even if u don't have the privilege to further your study, you will be able to understand the real happenings going-out and coming-in in the local and international communities, so that you will be able to analyse and understand some happenings as possible. And that's why you see our education system is very poor because, they don't want us to be educate and to be educated persons, because if they allow us to have access with good education we will easily understand all their evil doings. so with this, I think we need to squeeze in and study, though I know it's hard but never mind because "No sweet Without Sweat".
With this few words, we will be able to comprehend that we need to come together, keep tribe aside, forget our religious differences and study hard to get rid of all this mess.
"Certainly, justice one day must overcome their injustice and also must be prevail by God will" Ameen.
