Most often we lament at the policies of our government and their manner of implementation of same. We have been too comfy about our government policies. We have a deaf but talkative government that keeps reciting litany of promises while contesting for various political positions. The desperation to mount the sadle of leadership in the Country has seen politicians promise even what they cannot accomplish and what perhaps is not even within their power to accomplish.
But the question is, what have we done as Nigerians to make Our Leaders/Government listen to our plights and cries? We are too incline to always say- i can't close my business for a day to march around for a protest. The French revolution, Orenje Revolution, even the American revolution are clear examples of country were the Citiens up and took their cries to the street, some will say that our political foundation and that of those Nations are not the same, yes, they are not, but if 5% of Nigerians(that is about the entire population of Ukraine) should take our march to the street and occupy the Street, the government will listen, even if the government won't, the World will, and when the World listens, one victory is achieved. Phone calls will ring at Aso Rock from various Head of States across the Globe asking what the situation is? Christene Amanpour recently has asked question about the appalling nature of electricity in the giant of Africa. The world is waiting for us to cry, to show that we are not too comfy with the situation of our country.
Until we talk my fellow compatriots, we will continue to abuse democracy.
