Nigerian songster, Simi, says Nigeria is a scary place to live thanks to greedy public servants and citizens who are not held accountable for their actions.

The singer said people get away with questionable things because there will be no consequences for their actions.

Simi further said innocent citizens cannot rely on the government because they operate a broken system adding that most survive instead of actually living.

Like other social commentators, Simi said people only fight for leadership positions for their selfish interests, however, ironically citizens turn against one another to serve them.

Simi stated her points in a Twitter thread below:

“Nigeria is a fucking scary place to be. The worst part is a lot of crazy stuff happens because they KNOW there will be no consequences. It’s not rocket science. But how do we get from where we are to where we need to be?? + it’s not just the government, it’s us too.

“We’re just getting by. No confidence in this broken system. So we hope that today is good for us and that we see tomorrow. Rinse and repeat. Surviving, instead of actually living.

“And then we have people fighting for leadership positions only to serve themselves. Not us. They really couldn’t give less of a fuck about us. STILL, we turn on each other to serve them. So absolutely, ridiculously stupid! We’re supposed to be on the same side.

“But it’s not enough for only a few people to think this way. Because why on earth should I fight if I know you won’t have my back. Why on earth would you fight if you think I won’t fight with you? So you see – the problem is us…

Simi’s tweets have since generated hundreds of comments from well-meaning Nigerians who either buttressed her points with their own claims or proffered solution to the lingering issues facing the nation.
