Everyday, we are bombarded with countless news of killings, kidnappings, rapes, nepotism, corruption, injustices, etc, perpetuated by all manner of groups and peoples, government, and government official.
However, what is most puzzling is our reactions to this news. Often it is mere condemnation, rip to the lost, God help us, what is happening in this country o, things are getting out of hand o, God punish them and the likes; that's all! We simply move to the next news item until another news breaks, and then we repeat the circle, day in day out, year after year, decade after decade, all the while simply hoping the issues will fix themselves, but it only gets worse.

One wonders how any of the above reactions does anything at all to improve the situation. I've often asked myself if the way we react to bad news even if we are not personally affected was somewhat similar to how people in say caucasian nations react; if things would be different. It seems we've somehow gotten used to suffering as long as it's the other person who is the victim. I could say more, but we must wake up as a people and act, and I mean real action. It seems cowardice is a black thing. We must begin to change it. Fela said it about us decades ago, but it seems worse today. To make matters worse, when anyone or group rises to demand change, and that demand inconveniences us even a little, we are quick to condemn them even though they are fighting for our betterment.

Change cannot come without inconveniences and discomfort, loss and even blood. There's a price for any meaningful change. And if you cannot actively participate in effecting change, at least be willing to bear the often temporary cost, and or stop pulling down those bold enough to actively effect change.

Most of the activists we insult here everyday are comfortable enough to ignore the problems they are fighting to fix.

I'll not be surprised if some leave the message I'm passing here and begin to attack me. If you're tempted to do so, then you're part of reason I've put this out.
