JUST GO AND BUY

By Political Animal.

Stop complaining and go and buy your fuel. It is not like anything will happen after you spend the whole day nagging and debating on TV.

Remember that the present government is not the previous government, so you cannot occupy Nigeria or Save Nigeria. Buy your fuel and keep quiet. Enjoy your Government.

My fear is that other future governments should not resort to precedence.Someone should be good enough to work with the constitution until it is amended.1999 constitution remains an engine of fraud.

Don’t expect anything good so that you don’t get hurt.Expectation remains the root of all disappointments.Acceptance is the cure.Let us just accept this government for our own peace.

Stop being visibly unhappy because of violence.It has come to stay.Our lives are no longer dependent on the drama playing out.

Recently our maximum rulers were showing us pictures of themselves taking COVID19 vaccine as if they are making sacrifice for us, to show that it is safe rather than the selfishness of protecting themselves and leaving the rest of the citizens on their own.

I wonder how many Nigerians will take the vaccines because they saw them on television taking the vaccine.They remain deluded.

When the leader of the present Government toppled the civillian regime in 1983,I can still remember how he terrorised ,virtually all the politicians at the time and threw most of them into jail under horrible prison terms and conditions.

Many died in the ordeal.Unfortunately their offsprings who do not have any sense of history supported this Government and still remain loud in defending all that is going on.

It remains a surprise that most regions that voted massively for this Government suffered most for the same man who publicly humiliated their leaders.

If the preceding military regime then, felt so angry and bad about the Government at that time ,and overthrew him for the exact things he is doing now,I really don’t know why Nigerians are shocked.May be because we don’t have any sense of history.

There are many things that don’t cross the mind of our leaders.California is seeking for separation, Scotland is seeking for separation, Catalonia wants to leave Spain.Eastern Ghana wants to leave.Southern Cameroon is asking for divorce.This doesn’t send any signal to those in power.

When any country is governed well and governance is fair ,just and equitable to all,no ethnic group or nationality would wish for a divorce.

The whole point of equity and inclusion is to address historic and current injustices.

Patriotism is very different from politics as it is played in Nigeria.

Our politicians are hadly guided to know when to play politics and when the people are hurting.The reason we keep running in a circle.

We had responsible leaders after independence but unfortunately it was aborted.That half loaf ,would have been better than what we have presently.

Many keep deodorizing this Government with articles that seem to rewrite history,thank God that people like us are still breathing.

Events across the nation lends credence to the truth,which we all ought to know ,but don’t want to know especially our leaders.

We should accept the fact that Nigeria has become a deeply divided geographical entity.

Even conversations between friends on social media will expose this division with the words used to address ethnic nationalities.Omo Ibo,onye Ofenmanu,Nyamiri,Aboki etc.

These have become the mainstay of our daily conversation even on social media,as people use such subtle derogatory inferences.Honest conversations are hardly respected.

This Government has proven that poor countries are poor because those who have power or in power make poor choices that creates poverty.Some ,like in Nigeria get leadership wrong not by mistake or ignorance but on purpose.

We are told that the National Assembly is broke, that they need bigger budget to operate effectively.That the N125billion allocated in the 2021 budget which would have funded our universities is not sufficient.

The only thing for me is that they should just go home, until we need them.

Real Senators are supposed to give adequate weight to the sentiments of the people to ensure, equity , national cohesion and stability,in normal climes,they connect with their people,but not in Nigeria.

The people should have the option to recall and clean the Senate or House of Representatives by bringing fresh individuals that will reflect and communicate the position of the citizens to those in the executive,the feelings of their constituencies,but not in Nigeria.It is in the constitution for decoration.

Somebody who is termed a lizard in Nigeria becomes a lion in Europe or America because the environment. re-educates their minds and encourages self-actualisation.

Having the right leadership, right education, training,the right knowledge,the right mentor and the right opportunities brings out the best in man .Encourages right thinking. We have seen many who were written off by their families,who left Nigeria and have become chief cornerstones in their families.

May be mind is deceiving me.
May be Nigeria is working well.
May be our leaders are hyper active in whatever they are doing and I don’t seem to follow.
May be I want an overdrive.

May be my mind is working like the distance between an airplane and the ground.
When I look out through the window, I think that the plane is slow.May be my mind is not catching up with Nigeria.

Please go and buy fuel and stop complaining.
