This open letter was written to the Federal Government by rapper
Olanrewaju Ogunmefun, 'Vector', in protest of the planned data rate hike
enforced by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) . Read after the cut...
Dear Federal Government,
You
have come a long way with your policies and rule. You have concerned
yourself with nothing but the present hence making it look like the
constitution has to be remixed and renamed "Your WILL" before your
demise. You have ignored the children you saw grow and focused on the
ones from your sperm cells and ovulation that you aren't seeing grow
because they have been shipped off to "better grounds" for eductaion.
You have put your wives in other rooms BUT that of improtance forgetting
(if you married a good woman) they balance you when you go astray. You
have failed to embrace the spirit and letter of the Almighty you worship
be it any religion. You have failed the man you see in d mirror because
he isnt a beast or metaphysical beign you don't understand. No, He is
the posterboy/girl for greed. You have forgotten how you felt when you
were coming up but remember this... you will not forget how you fall.
Your money... my bad... our money you take will shame you when you need
it the most. The hustling are finding ways to be better but you just
want to take from them without giving back. You focus on chasing thieves
but never focus on securing the vault they steal from. In the history
of our existence as a generation, we have never gotten levelled
platforms to play as we have gotten with the internet. The people have
become more exposed to business ideas, global news, information sharing
from continent to continent between seconds. Industry has gotten global
awareness because of this.
Music has started to look better just
because with data you can put up your craft be it music or painting or
write ups or poems or comedy or pets or life to make people happy in a
steady sinking world of frustrating conflicting governance and hustle.
You
concern yourself with your percieved negatives over the objective
positives. You are killing the future of Nigeria. You are killing the
future of Nigeria. Internet is almost free in a lot of "advanced"
countries too. Be careful Nigeria... don't ruin yourself.
