Millions of Nigerians are unhappy.
Their unhappiness revolves around the high cost of foodstuff, which have gone beyond reach, kidnappings, killings, and other violent crimes.
Those-in-charge have lost touch with reality and are rather engrossed in continuing in public office beyond 2027; event thought the handwriting on the wall shows the contrary.
Criminals now operate in different parts of the country with impunity, while the law enforcement and security agencies grasp for breath.
Disillusionment and disappointment characterize the looks on the faces of the people.
Schools are now the target of the criminals, who kidnap innocent children and teachers for ransom.
