Images of Today’s Nigeria

What you think these young Nigerians are doing? Attending a political rally? Attempting to attend a big musical gig? Or trying to have a glimpse of president Obasanjo’s convoy?  Neither! These are applicants scrambling to write an Employment Test, conducted some weeks back by INTERCONTINENTAL BANK Plc at Fototek Plaza, Opebi in Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria.

Sadly, it was reported that, Police had to disperse the mammoth crowd with teargas! These images are very disturbing indeed. Though,  ' it is a known fact that unemployment levels in Nigeria are extremely high. This is one of the biggest failures of president obasanjo and indeed previous Nigerian governments, especially from early 90’s.

        On the other hand, does intercontinental bank made adequate arrangement for these applicants?  Well, the bank may be unaware of number of intending applicants? But why have the bank not scheduled the assessments test in lots or batches to prevent this sort of overcrowding and threats to the lives of young Nigeria who are the future leaders of Nigeria ? Unmistakably this is a fault that Intercontinental Bank have to be responsible for.  But from top to bottom the government is to blame for not invigorating the economy with job opportunities,

 It is sickening to see in the 21^st centaury   this is the image of today’s Nigeria! What do we need? Prayers? ...... We dearly need good LEADERS who will eliminate these kinds of disturbing images
