We Nigerians Are Never Going To Make It - Ebenezar Wilkina

The comment “we not goin to make it” in response to a post showing Nigerian government officials laughing in a boat amidst a flood in Maiduguri reflects deep frustration and disillusionment. It highlights the disconnect between leadership and the suffering of citizens, where officials are seen smiling in the face of a crisis.

Such a statement captures a feeling of hopelessness, as it seems to mock the lack of serious action in addressing the flood’s impact. This kind of scene reinforces negative perceptions about the government’s priorities and the challenges Nigerians face in achieving progress.

However, the comment itself is counterproductive. While it expresses valid frustration, it amplifies negativity and feeds into a defeatist mindset. Such remarks can weaken collective morale, making it harder to push for positive change and hold leaders accountable for their actions.
