am up at 3am thinking about my yesterday! It's clearly obvious It will take centuries to fix Nigeria.
I have never been this emotionally, psychologically drained- probably have but this right here caught me unawares. I have trust issues especially when it comes to dealing with people business wise...I let my guards down to trust the Nigerian government.
What society frustrates life out of a body and confines zeal Into isolation.
Early this year I decided to 'Do it Afraid' overwhelmed from gathering information on the cheapest means possible to set up a food processing facility.
I was so excited when someone mentioned ministry of agric and rural development was giving out equipments at a subsidized fee.
Got all I needed together and applied since March!
Finally After months of follow up and a 'good' ministry worker who helped speed up the process, armed with my letter of approval and proof of payment made to FGN remits account.
I drove all the way down to Sheda to go pick up my equipment (with me feeling Like a lottery winner - excited I just saved me the headache of brainstorming how to fund the equipment with some thousands of Naira) to cut long story short.
I met the cabinet dryer today and Nigerian government sold rusted equipment to me.
The equipments have been out in the sun in the rain rusting away since 2013 - while so many needed jobs to keep them busy and much agro produce going to waste!
I just got played.
I kept asking about the equipment they gave me the impression they were manufacturing, they knew all along and expected me to fix it.
I know where scrap materials are being sold- had no need to go there to buy because I have absolutely no need for scrap metal in my life.
I don't know even know how to react - Laugh or cry. Anyways I am just here chewing chin chin away...this me should have been unbroken!
...but then I think I am broken! Tired and frustrated about how nothing just seems to work in a failed country! How entrepreneurs who seemingly should be the 'drivers of the economy' are mentally drained and passion chased out of them Like a demon being cast out of a possessed being.
