Why the Federal Government Needs to Give Us More Public Holidays

Share

When you’re a Nigerian who lives in Nigeria, you know the importance of having a few days off. Some people argue that Nigerians get too many public holidays but we’re calling bullshit. Nigerians don’t have enough time to do things that are going to make us better citizens and we need more public holidays to free up space for us to be the best citizens.

1. The government is kuku not working, so why should the people?

A travel blogger doubles as our president but wants us to work all through the year. O wrong nau. Our president doesn’t work when he’s not travelling so why should we work? Let all of us be like him and take time to rest.

2. It gives us ample time to process our relocation plans

If the government gave us more public holidays, we’d have enough time to process our relocation plans. That way, we’d leave only a few people for the government to govern. Because maybe it’s the population that’s overwhelming our government.

3. Our president has already called Nigerian youths lazy and we want to prove him right

Bubu already called us lazy and still wants us to work almost every day of the year. Ahn ahn; you too see! He needs to give us more days off to prove him right.

4. We too want to become travel bloggers like our president and his staff

He seems to be having a good time with that job and we want to experience that joy too.

5. Children’s Day needs to be a national holiday for everyone

In case the government is confused about what days to give us, they can give us , we’re someone’s child too. We didn’t come to this world by ourselves and need a day to rest.

6. If Nigerians are well-rested, we won’t be constituting a nuisance everywhere

Nigerians have a bad reputation of constituting a nuisance wherever we go and it’s not our fault. We’re restless because our government doesn’t give us enough time to rest. More public holidays may help solve this problem.

7. More public holidays means more time for farm work

Agriculture is a big deal in Nigeria and we the people want to be able to provide our quota to the growth of the agricultural sector. If we get ten public holidays a month, Nigeria will become a world leader in agriculture.

8. We need time off to start our akara startup

We’ve been told that selling akara is the easiest way to become a billionaire in Nigeria and we all want to be rich. More public holidays will give us enough time to start working on our akara startup and become millionaires. Sounds good for us and the Nigerian economy.
