Until you you've been in a coma for 6 months then you realise everyday of normal living is a blessing.

Hence why i said a "healthy" normal person. Or didn't you read my post before commenting? If one should extrapolate it, it means since Nigerians are not mentally and socially healthy, things like the renovation of a runway, (I can believe i am saying this) will be astounding to them. Smh.

Iam not sure that anyone is jubilating over the fixing of a runway. What they are probably happy about is that the government has kept to its delivery time on the project. If you recall airlines local and international threatened to boycott the airport but the government stood its ground and delivered on the project.

Desiring good governance is a two way street involving criticism and praise. The fact that op has placed this piece does not show an abandonment of rationality. He may choose to criticise government next week. It is important to have a sense of perspective. Government isnt a zero sum game with losers and winners. Its nuanced because even if you didnt vote for a party you still need them to do well. Thats what civil society does.

Once the next election comes up you can review their progress or otherwise and decide who to vote for.

No one was born with a party card in their hand.

My comment was made based on my observation of people praising the government for fixing the runway, which is quite ridiculous because that is what they were voted in to do in the first place - establish and maintain basic infrastructure, amongst other tasks. Why should that be something to be jubilant about? Especially considering how poor this government has performed overall.

That is how mediocrity starts, when leaders are being celebrated for doing basic stuff. We are very far from where we should be at this point in time, relative to other countries.

In 2017 when we should be talking about automating our transport systems, we don't even have a basic NationalRail website for booking train tickets online, not to mention contactless payments on trains and buses. Our airports cannot stand next to any 21st century airport across the world in terms of quality, services or infrastructure. These are things that we should be exploring - moving to the next level.

Instead my fellow Nigerians are throwing a party because a runway is being renovated. My oh my, what a country.

This is why we need go-getters and forward thinkers at the helms of affairs, not antiquated people with antiquated mindsets.

I really wonder oh.
That's the current unfortunate state of affairs in Nigeria. Things are so bad that the tiniest thing is "cause for rejoicing". Ridiculousness of the highest level.

Pass through our international airports and you will literally bend your head in shame when you see their state compared to what obtains elsewhere. We should be talking about taking things to the next level, people are here praising a runway repair. Chai.

When they have no tangible figures or facts to respond with, they resort to calling others wailers.

Doesn't change the fact that this government as at this point in time is a class act FAILURE.

Nigeria refuses to be put in the same state of backwardness the North is. We refuse to. Other countries are moving forward, why should we remain in a dead state? Thanks to archaic people the likes of who claim meningitis outbreak was a result of fornication, in the 21st century. Smh.
