Nigerians Geniunely Desire A Lawless Nations Despite What They Say. by Ikengawo: 1:25am On Jan 01, 2013
Nigerians are always giving lip service to 'rule of law' and a 'working government', but when it happens they begin calling people dictators, wicked, power hungry, corrupt, etc.

This goes to show the real problem in Nigeria isn't the government, it's Nigerians, after all the government is selected by Nigeria and comprises of Nigerians.
Otherwise every attempt to enforce law has been met with insults and adversity from the average nigerian

Fashola demolishing homes that people built on top of railroad tracks and public roads
GEJ trying to curb corruption by getting rid of the ridiculous and ineffective fuel subsidy
Fashola enforcing traffic
Amaechi enforcing traffic
Oshiomole making people pay taxes for the services they receive
Fashola making poeple pay taxes for the services they receive
Sanusi trying to modernize our economy by rid us of our outdated dependence on cash


every attempt to enforce laws have been met with a direct fight from Nigerians asking for better law enforcement. Even the north is upset about the JTF fighting the same Boko Haram that's killing them and chasing business away from their region. Now Amaechi is a villain for punishing traffic violators. Nigerians think government is just there to give them money. They look forward to selling their votes and are only upset about corruption when they can't be a part of it.
na whao for this country

We need a committed "dictator" at the helm of affairs as the president, someone who will offer Nigerians tough love, like a good father will treat his spoilt brat, someone who will be guided by the constitution.

(s)He must serve at most 2 terms of 4 years, instituting well thought out policies that will stimulate growth & development to the country, and more importantly instill a positive behavioural cultural change in Nigerians.

Most Nigerians don't know what they want, they want to eat their cake and have it.

At the end , the current disdain for rule of law by Nigerians transforms to fear of rule of law and finally respect for the rule of law. 8 years is good enough.

Nothing like a committed dictator - it is simply a shortcut to hell that you hapless Nigerians will never learn not to lazily attempt to take.

Demand your rights, apply widely available knowledge, be honest with yourself and with your leaders and soon the light of development will shine on our nation!!!
