apheth Omojuwa wrote!!!!!! Today, it hurts to be Nigerian. That pain hits many in different ways. For graduates, four out of every five of them feel that pain in their lack of jobs. For a pregnant mother, that pain hits her when she realizes that Nigeria is one of the harshest places in the world to birth a child. For a pensioner, the pain stems from the realization that his/her life savings can get lost through the hands of those responsible for its keep. For a child, the pain comes hitting hard in many ways: first, s/he is burdened by the fact that her country is home to the world’s largest population of out-of-school children; burdened by the possibility of being subjected to child labour; and burdened by the likelihood, if her parents are not as rich as Nigerian Senators, of being bought into marriage by a rich man before she even comes of age.
