How Politics Changed Us All. by Zubelu11: 11:54am On Feb 24, 2019
HOW POLITICS CHANGE THE PEOPLE WE KNOW.


Politics as indeed changed the way we think, feel and present ourselves to a large extent as Nigerians.

Am not really clear on how politics in other countries work, but the Focus is on Nigeria in this write up. I hated politics while growing up certainly not because of the conventional wisdom widely propagated by many Christians on how genuine Christians shouldn’t go into politics���♂. The reason I disliked it was the reality that a very large proportion of politicians are in for their pockets irrespective of whatever silly promises they would have made to the electorates and all (like theft and greed was their thing before they even ventured into politics). However, I feel ashamed to say I realized late how it even changes people we believed were upholders of good morals and mindset. Let’s look at the following people

1. Adams Oshomole was one I read about his time as the chairman of Nigeria Labor Congress and how it was said that he fought the government for the interest of workers or generally the people thereby winning their hearts (notice how I use the words “read” and “said” because I was a little boy uninterested in National affairs during the period Oshomole held the post�� so I couldn’t write knew/witnessed him to be that person)

2. Buhari. Full article here https://zubelu.com/blog/how-politics-changed-us-all/
