Dear Average Nigerian.

Dear Average Nigerian,

 I know words are not what you need, afterall, words are only applicable to those who have enough food in their stomach because an empty stomach does not listen to words. Notwithstanding, I have just a few things to say. As an average Nigerian, and as one who is reading this, you are most likely literate. Not that you have your masters degree yet or you are a professor, but maybe a secondary school certificate holder, an undergraduate or someone that falls into that category. (No, you are not a secondary school student because the reading culture is not in those ones). That is clear.
As an average Nigerian, there are a few things you are "never" satisfied with.

The Government, The Terrorism ,The Poverty... You name them.

And if you are satisfied with any of these aforementioned things, you are not an average Nigerian, or perhaps you are a terrible citizen, or just a blind Buharist. (Buharist: /noun/ One who follows the biddings of the current government out of pure sentiment/ personal gain instead of rationally thinking or criticizing it. Japhet Omojuwa is a Buharist). The terrorism, the poverty, the economy!!! Wow, Average Nigerian, as you would say... "Na wah ooo". Whose fault is it? I have no idea at all! Actually, maybe I do. Maybe we all do. Maybe an average Nigerian's problem is caused by him. Or maybe not! Because we do not know and you do not seek to know.
Come on!, you are educated yet ignorant and higjly selfish. You blame the government of corruption and insurbodination but you would do worse if given the mantle. That is an Average Nigerian.
Maybe you should start with the socialization of newborn. Maybe that is how we will change this country and make it a better place. This will have to involve the schooling system right? Great. Which government will fund that? This one? Or the next few to gain power?
Wait, Average Nigerian, Have you forgotten how power in Africa works? You havent! You know its a case of sit still or transfer power to a political son. Perhaps Buhari will be in power even after he passes away. 
I just have to tell you, Average Nigerian, play your part... Do the right thing. Do not bother others or bother about others. It begins with you.
My words may not havr fed you, it it has probably led you.
