Beaf: The citizens are as bad as the politicians.
Have we not all seen how people rushed to the scene of the Dana air crash to steal the belongings of the dead?

The politicians rose from society, so please people, look in the mirror.

There are a few good ones left, let us act to propel them upward and not kill them before they grow.

achukwunet: [/quote]The behavior of the people of Nigeria is another reflection to the politicians who govern the country. The people of Naija have no one to govern them orpolice what they do. And now, it seems too late too late to change that

acidtalk: This thread might be offensive to. A whole lot of people and I will understand why.

We (the citizens and common man) are the main cause why Nigeria over the years of Independence till date keeps getting worse.

We play sentiments in anything and everything we do. In choosing a Leader, awarding contract and even correctly our corrupt politicians.

Must we wait for things to deteriorate before taking action? Must disaster happen before we realize there are pending reports on that same issue we refused or forgot to tackle before this present disaster?

* Plane Crash : I can vividly remember after the 2005 Bellview and Sosoliso plane crashes, Obasanjo setup a committee to look at the possible causes of the aviation disaster something Kema Chikwe the then Aviation Minister passed later to Fani Kayode. Almost 10years since then no report was made. Now Jonathan will setup another committee for the same issue thereby wasting billions of naira of tax payers money to fund.

*Power : It would be like counting the strands of hair on a ladies head if we want to remember how many committees have been setup over the years to look into possible ways of improving power supply in this country. Yet the only thing we hear is Power Holdings (former NEPA) increasing power tariffs each passing month to enable have steady power. Yet these same Nigeria keep quiet and hope for a "better day".

*Sports : the only uniting factor of the country is absolutely nothing to talk about. Nigerians only remember the urgent need for a foreign or indigenous coach few months to tournaments. Forgetting that both the Ministry of Sports and NFF have thousands of committee that have been looking into developing sports (most especially football) in these country.

*Oil (Petroleum) : nothing to write home about this, almost every first day of every year this is what Nigerian Government gives us as New Year present (increase in fuel price). People protest for a few days then return to their work without putting pressure on the government to know what such monies are used for.


On and on the list goes....

Before blaming the government next time, thing deep if you have made an effort to make your government accountable at anytime.

Its like leaving your doors and windows open each night and I thief comes in to steal. After discovering this in the morning all you do is shout and then make the same mistake. Who is to be blamed? You or the thief in question.

bumie07: Its always good when there is a constructive argument on the table to deliberate on,we've been clamouring for change in this country ever since,but where will the change comes from?revolution can never happen in Nigeria until the country split up,ever since I can remember its the same set of people that has been @ the helm of power that are still there?how then are we going to have our change wen new pple re not coming in until youth who are visionary are allow @ the helm of power the we will never see any change

achukwunet: Citizens or politicians. Either way they're both corrupt. At least that's what I see when I watch the news. Nigeria needs to go through major rehabilitation

acidtalk:

I think more of a nation wide spiritual cleansing this time around because things in this country just keep getting worse by each passing second.

Orikinla: . You have said it all. Majority of Nigerian adults are i-d-i-ots and the unfortunate thing is these legions of i-d-i-ots multiply as they breed daily. And to worsen their predicament, they live in denial of their stupidity as shown by their shameless deceit. They are not different from their political opportunists in power. Those stealing small amounts today are waiting for their turns to join the big looters.

acidtalk:



Nigerians are too Cowardice for this.
If they don't put a BAND STAND at Ojota were they know a countable numbers on entertainers will come to perform, you will never see them in their millions.
