(Article): Better life (@freshikye)

-


While driving home on sunday from church, I was drawn to the headline of the sunday punch( august 25, 2013) - STOWAWAY. I bought the newspaper and opened it when I got home. The story of the stowaway was about a teenage boy who stowed away on an Arik Air plane from Benin to Lagos hiding in the tire compartment. After reading the story I smiled, I could relate with the boys pain.
He wanted to leave benin and come to lagos to have a better life, to hustle and become something in life . Also in 2010, another young Nigerian Emeka okechukwu who tried the same tyre compartment trick aboard a Delta Airline aircraft died before he could get to the United states. These boys are an example of how bad Nigeria has gotten.
These days youths are being forced in despicable dealings because of poverty and the need for a better life. Everyday we hear about billions being stolen and yet the government cannot give Asuu their demands so our youths can go back to school. In Nigeria the rich keep getting rich while the poor get poorer. This uneven balance of things have lead the youths into prostitution, stealing,gambling,internet fraud, armed robbery, cultism and what have you. This are done all in the Search for a better life. While our senators keep allocating more money to themselves. Our leaders need to re-examine themselves. The youths which they are " Punishing " are the leaders of tomorrow. Anyway the Search for a better life continues

There are times when you just want to die,when you wish you were never born, when you want to turn back the hands of time. There are moments when you feel so alone despite all your friends, times when you feel everybody hates you and times when you want to be left alone and people don't get it. There are those periods in your life when you cry for absolutely no reason, When nothing seems to be going right, and a lot of bad things are happening around you. There are times when your all is never enough,when you are often misunderstood, and when the one thing or person you put all your hope in let you down. Then there are times you are on top of the world,when everything is at your beck and call,when everything is seemingly perfect, when you don't have to worry about anything, when you have everything done your way, when you have all the attention you've ever craved and nothing absolutely nothing Is stressing you out. Well,LIFE ain't complete without the good and
