Adetayo in an "Open Letter" shared on his facebook page wondered how successive government has failed to position the country into glorious path.
The writer lamented that the people should "be realistic enough to know all these problems didn't just pour down on us and they won't go away, not even if we gathered all our clergies to take over all the leadership positions in the country"

Dear Friends
Please allow me write just one of the things harassing my mind so I can go back to my hibernation in peace!
Those who know me personally know that I contend with a multitude of mind-bending pressures that task my supreme effort of Willpower. It has been very tough. But you see, even in my own personal struggles, excruciating as they are, they pale into insignificance when placed side-by-side the misery i see all around the society and the country as a whole!
I have always convinced myself that very surely, we have offended some people because what we are going through as a people can't be "ordinary eyes" as our people will say!
Dr. Reuben Abati, inspite of himself and his recently crooked history, once told us that there were demons in Aso Rock that kind of manipulate the occupants there and by extension our leaders at the various levels and tiers of Government!
I think that man can't be too far from the truth!
Yes, we have CORRUPTION!
Yes, we are grossly unruly and Indisciplined!
Yes, we have leaders who are blinded by greed and followers who are stupidly docile!
Yes, we even know very well that our country runs on poor political and fiscal structures!
Yes, these problems didn't start today!!!
But in all of these, have we ever attempted to be realistic enough to know all these problems didn't just pour down on us and they won't go away, not even if we gathered all our clergies to take over all the leadership positions in the country?
I think we need to ASK HARD QUESTIONS. We need to STOP and review. We are not heading anywhere!
Imagine!
In 1998, Obasanjo was just within inches of his life. He came out, got installed as President and right under our noses he did exactly what Abacha did, may be even worse! He became an emperor and was going to do 3rd term. A man that was just lucky to be alive!!!
Jonathan came under uncommon Grace. It was Providence but he became the almighty and all powerful President and C-IN-C of this same Nigeria. An Ijaw man from the same long-suffering Niger Delta. What did he do. He was dancing in Kano and Ibadan hours after Nyanyan bomb blast in Abuja and about the same time news of Chinook came! What changed in Niger Delta or about the multitude of injustices in Nigeria?
The other day we saw the Bauchi state Governor importing a wife from God-knows-where and able-bodied family men, Exco of a State lined up at the airport to receive them!
One Governor was said to have appointed three separate SAs to his three wives.
Rochas Okoroacha opened a brand new Ministry of Happiness for his sister!
The one in Kogi is a complete story entirely
In Ogun and Lagos states, the Governors are practically missing!
Look at the effrontery of Bola Tinubu and Ibikunle Amosun. How can men be so blinded by material things???? These weren't even yours, you practically tool them off the common wealth of the same suffering people!!!!
The last time President Buhari visited that NASS, jokingly and playfully, he started the 4+4 sign and the thing went viral!
Yesterday, at the same NASS, the man has told you jokingly and playfully that he had caught COLD!
Right on cue, we have started to hear of one Madam Minister that will soon move into za oza room as it has become cold room!
It's a rumour now of course but you can be sure it will soon be a reality right under our noses!
In all of the troubles of this country, does it even make sense at this troubled state of our National life?
If Buhari eventually does that at 75year of age shouldn't we then be convinced that truly snakes have hands as our Elders will say?
No, these things are so rampant, so regular, so consistent, so audacious and get so mind shattering, they can't be Naturally!!!!
Surely, no man or group of men can be so callously insensitive to millions of people!
There is something controlling these people and ultimately controlling our lives!
I tell you, OUR PROBLEM IS SOCIAL AND SPIRITUAL!
We are a people that sold millions of slaves!
We are a people that broke faith with our ancestors!
We are a people disconnecting with our spirituality, culture, language and values!
We are a people with a confused identity, a people who have abandoned their familiar paths and taken to strange paths!
We are a people who have completely missed our way!!!
We are a people being expertly railroaded and manipulated into destruction!
We must realise this and we must STOP AND REVERSE!
