During his time as President of the USA, a shoe was thrown at George Bush. It didn't raise much dust in America

When he was Governor of California, while greeting his supporters, an egg was thrown at Arnold Swarzeneggar by a protester. He just took off his coat, where the egg had landed and carried on greeting his people like nothing happend

A female protester threw flour at French President, Francois Holland, while he was making a speech, he took off his glasses and laughed it off. The woman was released that same day


In 2001, an angry protester threw an egg in the face of the deputy Prime minister of Britain, John Prescott. Prescott replied by throwing a punch at the protester which resulted in both men fighting and the police separating them. The press came down hard on Prescott for fighting like a kid. His future ambitions to be prime minister died and the protester was released after a few hours

A few months ago, Brexit party leader and elected MEP to the European Parliament, Nigel Farage, had a cup of Milk thrown at him by a protester. He walked away without a word and changed his suit.

These are in rich countries where things are working, yet their political leaders have to occasionally deal with unruly protesters. These developed countries have taken those things to be part of protest. In Nigeria where nothing works, former deputy president of the senate is pushed about in Germany and the heavens want to fall. All the elites, the two main parties, highly placed people are all falling over themselves to condemn what happened and to commiserate with Ekweremadu

Veteran musician and social crusader, Charlie Boy Oputa, took his 'ourmumudondo' protest to a market in Abuja. Northerners attacked him for protesting against Buhari. He dress was torn, he was beaten and chased out of the market. Nobody said anything

It all goes to show Nigerians that the dust raised by these people about what happend to Ekweremadu was all about his standing as a Senator, not the attack its self.

If you are a high ranking senator like Ekweremadu, they shout if you are assaulted. If you are just the average guy on the street like Charlie boy, nobody bothers

The Nigerian political elite only care about themselves and care nothing about the common man

Those are countries but Naija is purgatory.

Nigerians know that they cant be killed for fvcking up our useless wicked leaders outside Naija so they are safer to do it there. If they try it in Naija, na death straight. Its better they do it in their comfort zone than here in "uncomfortable" lawless Nigeria. Its just kinda funny that Ekweremadu was the victim. Igbos wish its people like Rochas or Kalu Uzor

If Nigerian political leaders knew they could be treated like their counterparts in Europe and America, they would sit up. That's why they were screaming and condemning what happend to Ekweremadu so they can continue with their nonsense that has made life very hard for ordinary Nigerians

Exactly...God save them that Nigerians are not going for their relatives abroad. No Man should be punished for the sins of Father
