Nigeria's Top Looters (aka Public Enemies) & People Power by meavox: 1:18pm On Dec 07, 2019
This message is copied from a Whatsapp post. It's also on the author's Facebook page whom I now follow.

I find the list of things we can do to bring about change quite useful eg using concerts - Fela did. And we can do so again to drum up support to change this country. Please copy it and forward on to your own networks because knowledge is powerful.
=================================================================


NIGERIA'S TOP LOOTERS (aka PUBLIC ENEMIES) & PEOPLE POWER


 
Recently a Whatsapp post described the criminal activities of Nigeria's top looters, rightly called "PUBLIC ENEMIES", who are (I quote):
 
· Nigeria's decision makers at the highest levels (civil servants and politicians)

· Topmost Nigerian bureaucrats (civil servants and consultants)
 
· Bankers
 
· With the collaboration of foreigners
 
The usefulness of the post is that not only did it identify the classes of criminal looters but it also described the manner that these delinquent kleptocratic deviants with their anti-Nigeria and antinubianist* orientation and lifestyles misgovern Nigeria to bring on backwardness, poverty, and wretchedness.
 
The post went a little religious, saying that God is against these looters - which He surely must be. However, Nigeria’s looters will happily continue to loot if all that Nigerians will do is "pray". We are not as helpless as we tell ourselves we are, and as looters will let us believe. We have People Power at our disposal. Prayer ought to go together with People Power action!
 
People Power is "soft power" in that it does not involve the use of weapons or violence, but it is still a POWER.
 
People Power involves using our NUMERICAL STRENGTH to bring about change that benefits the people, methods being NON-VIOLENT such as:
--- Rallies
--- Open air concerts (songs with a message)
--- Carnivals (with themed messages)
--- Plays and films with a message (can also be open air)
--- Demonstrations
--- Protests
--- Online and paper petitions
--- Campaigns
--- Social media appeals
--- Keeping political representatives accountable to citizens
--- Supporting and pushing for legislation that is anti-corruption and pro-people such as the notable Bribecode, a proposed anti-corruption Bill (link here http://bribecode.org/)
--- Police and law enforcement agencies should never forget that they are part of the people, work for the people, and should morally support People Power as is done in civilised countries.
--- Armed Forces should act in a moral way to protect the people and the country from those who would destroy the country they have sworn before God to protect: and looters are destroying Nigeria.
 
 
Ultimately we must realise that it is THE RESPONSIBILITY OF NIGERIANS TO FIX NIGERIA. No other, whether from another country or from outer space, or from Heaven, is going to fix Nigeria for us. We have seen events in other nations where people have used or are still using People Power to bring about the outcomes they want: whether it is the Climate Change rallies/protests or mass gatherings to bring about change in governance as in Sudan, Chile, Bolivia, South Korea, etc.
 
 
We can bring about an end to the looting in Nigeria using People Power. We have the numbers! There are 200 million of us! With People Power we can together start the journey towards the promised land for ourselves and definitely for our children.
 
 
MINI GLOSSARY
