"...the LABOUR of our heroes past, shall never be in vain..."

Heroes have always been known to labour. From the mythological ones like Achilles, Perseus to the religious ones like Jesus, Mohammed and so on. They always usually stand by the people. But who are the people? Are they only the youths? Are they only the oppressed? Are the youths always the oppressed?

The consensus seems to be that the people represent is everybody (which should obviously be the case) this includes the old, the young, the elites and the oppressed. This is because everyone wants something and we're more alike than different. The elites can become the downtrodden, the oppressed can become the oppressor and so on.

So although there is a me-versus-them dynamic on the surface, there really isn't really such a thing in the final analysis. EVERYBODY WANTS WHAT'S GOOD. The problem is what is good for A is not the same as what is good for B. This is one of the fundamental problems of politics,

how do you give as many people as possible what they consider as good that everybody can agree on?

No functioning society is made up of only what you term as "good people". Neither is any society built by only the energy of the youths.

Nigeria is as diverse as it gets and for every good thing that comes out of that, comes more problems. The man that can dialogue and negotiate with every diversity in this nation is the man of the people. A MAN THAT CAN REASON WITH THE NORTH, DISCUSS WITH THE EAST AND LEAD THE WEST. A MAN THAT CAN NEGOTIATE THE ISSUE OF FUEL SUBSIDY FOR INSTANCE WITH THE ELITES AND MAKE A CASE FOR THE MIDDLE AND POOR CLASS.

Not someone who hates the other side, considers his base as the righteous ones while the others are the weed that needs to be uprooted. After all it rains on both the evil and the good. And the reason is partly because no one is infinitely good or evil. We all have a fair bit of both in all of us. This is why no one is perfect.

After all, Jesus in Christianity, who was infinitely good did not destroy the Pharisees who wrongly accused him even when he had the power. Most people in fact knew he did not deserve to die and we all now know he had the power to have destroyed his detractors. But in the final analysis, he gave every single one something good that everyone can agree on.

The point of it all is that, a hero labours for the people not just a faction of it. When he speaks he's not only speaking to his base. If not, he LABOUR's in vain.
