I for one knew this APC govt was going to win the 2015 election based on propaganda. To an average Nigerian, it's better you comfort him with lies instead of the truth. We certainly hate taking responsibilities for our mistakes but instead seek for who to put the blame on.
Governance they say is continuous irrespective of who's in power or the party involved. seeing the current economic woes befalling our nation, we the citizens are readily wanting to put the blame on the previous government instead of ourselves forgetting the fact that when the whole world went into recession back then around 2009/2010 known as global economic meltdown no body knew and it didn't affect the daily running of the common man. In other words, we as a nation didn't feel the impact like other world nations. Yes, they may be corrupt (in politics, no body is a saint) but at least there was that enabling environment for people to strive irrespective of your background.
Now things are hard and we blame the govt solely instead of the people to find ways to cope since we don't have the balls to face them to say ENOUGH. An average Nigerian wants to go to heavy without dying, they will be behind gingering you but once it's time for action they disappear into thin air forgetting that there's a price to pay for freedom... check the Arab uprising started with a boy of about 20yrs old or so. It took that singular act to topple the dictatorial regime of north africa.
I won't talk bout the people now but bout the govt whose job is the make life at least worth living for her citizens.
what brought this write up today is the plight faced by the common man especially those around abuja. Daily, residents troop out from the shanties and slums to irk out a living and make abuja what is it. How on earth would the govt ban tricycles popularly known as keke from plying the road without putting in measures to contain the actions. now take a look at those coming from gwagwa heading to Arab junction (which govt term as the last top for keke) which cost a measly #100 while in Lagos, that journey might cost #200 at most. and you ban them from coming close to airport junction which is almost half of the journey intimidating them with the Army, NDLEA, Prisons, VIO, FRSC, Police. abeg oo, we dey fight war? and they expect them to smile.
when the land is plunged with unemployment and loss of jobs and they are hell-bent on worsening the situation. How will that father of 3 be able to contest with hundred of able bodied men in the hustle of #50 trip which the govt says is more than enough for an individual? ask any abuja citizen and they will tell you that they will be very happy to go back to the pre-APC era that at least they got their 3 square meals a day.
In this case, the govt has been pushing us to our limit and knowing we Nigerian as all mouth and no action, they won't be worried.
2015 should have served as a caution to all public office holders that when the people get fed up, they will react through the polls since that's the only voice we got. we got 2yrs of suffering and smiling to go and I pray God sees us through.... Amen..
