Coming from the instance of parent/child relationship, I would assume that the government should naturally have way more influence on the lives of the masses than the masses would ever have on the government.


It however baffles me how terrible many people truely are. I mean, why would you for instance burn your fellow ordinary citizen's car or loot their business in the name of a protest?

You see, I've always ask that question and yet to get a satisfactory answer.

We already know we need a reform on this country.
Where do we start? From the people or govt.

Most ppl say from the govt, but I am 100% sure that the person supporting that motion will be more corrupt than the present ones when given a taste of power.

We always lament that the govt is corrupt but quick to forgot that we are also the govt.

Civil servants: if you have a file that needs approval from the state and fed Secretariat or even local govt and you are not ready to grease their palm up to the cleaner level, just forget about that file

Public sch teachers: most sch teachers takes normal day class with levity and won't bother whether your ward is in class or not, but let your ward miss extra lesson, start boiling water to masaage his or her body.

Private sector employers: some employers are devil incarnate, they are only concerned about how to render your life useless, intentionally delaying salary and numerous exploits


Private sector employees: To start a business in Nigeria is far much easier than how to manage that business, staffs will always look for every opportunity to rip you off, you can't just trust anyone again, from the big post to the lowest even gateman can connive with ppl to love your products out.

Police: This one is self explanatory

Market women: I don't know how to describe their own greediness, after selling to you at an exorbitant price (if you don't know how to price) they still tamper with their measurement cylinders, melting candles inside, cutting the neck, hitting by the side.

These are just few examples, it cut across .

Now tell me, are they the govt.

NB: I'm not supporting or justifying the govt wanton corruption, but laying curses on them when we are also to be blame, that's hypocrisy and I don't do that

Tying a rope on a goat and tying a goat on a rope are the same thing.

It is the PEOPLE (both govt and the masses)

Honestly thats the big question. Where do we start from?

Why not add a related picture and call the attention of the mods, this is a topic worthy of national debate
