Omojuwa go and die

Buhari will soon arrest you

seunmsg:
I do not criticise govt because I hate those who run it or because I am not crying over spilled milk, I just want a better country, irrespective of who is president.

Well said JJ. Everybody can't become emotional wailers who wail simply because they hate the president. We will continue to support the good policies of the government and criticise the inappropriate decisions. At the end of the day, a better and more prosperous Nigeria is what we desire.

TheDEVlLHimseIf:
at least you can feed well those days with 6k rice unlike now that you have to paying installments with your salary on one bag of rice.

obailala:
The exact inane characters Omojuwa described instantly invaded the thread with their inanities. Such predictable pathetic souls..

timeman:
In those days that i can feed well buying rice @6k, in those days that our economy was pathetically sick, ailing & bleeding. In those days when Nigeria became a dumping ground for thailand, indian, china, thaiwan rice. No! that's not the Nigeria of my dream. Almost everyone goes into hungry mode just because there is scarcity in rice imports.What is deserving of us is to be locally self sufficient & become a major net exporter in Africa & the world at large. Very nearly all the states are looking into food production NOW. that's Change!
Kiss the truth!

TheDEVlLHimseIf:
[s]the only truth here is that Buhari is a failure and the masses are hungry
the only truth here is that under Buhari and the useless home economics teacher managing the economy called kemi adeosun Nigeria is in recession (just a word)
so deal with the truth it's staring at your face
Buhari is a terrorist an economic bokoharam[/s]

TheDEVlLHimseIf:
[s][/s]
hypocrite

obailala:
Obviously this one has no idea of the meaning of the word he just used..

timeman:
I knew it. l knew there is no piece of sense that will ever get in that hollow empty skull of yours. No sooner had Gej lost than Wailers lost the little sense left in them. Tell me one footing Kemi has placed wrong. You stink beyond pity.
Kiss the truth!

I felt led to drop this note against the fact that some Nigerians, especially on social media, just do not get it.

My criticisms of President Buhari and his administration are often met with statements like, “come and collect your Wailers form,” or “Wailers form has finished,” or “welcome our new wailer” or “Aso Rock has delayed your alert” amongst other predictable inanities. It has become necessary to define the context of some of the terms in the subject matter.

It is the right and responsibility of every citizen to hold the government accountable, this right does not suffer any limitation based on whether you voted for the government in power or not, it is your fundamental human right. Citizens who genuinely care about their country never fail to do same. Holding government accountable includes calling out public officers when they are wrong, continually demanding for transparency and accountability in the running of government and putting the government to task at all times. Take what the Bring Back Our Girls advocacy group are doing for instance, that is a classic way to hold your government accountable. You demand for your rights and that of others until at times you are seen as a pest.

Being a government critic is being a government critic irrespective of who the head of government is. When the government gets it wrong, it is your responsibility as a citizen to call them out. As usual, the so called Wailing Wailers decided to go petty yesterday after I called out the Buhari government saying, “Change begins with selling the presidential jets. ONLY a genuinely rich country should think of having up to 3. We have about 10 jets.” Now, irrespective of who is president, Nigeria has no business owning and maintaining 10 jets for the presidency. This particular statement came on the heels of the “Change-Begins-With-Me” campaign launched by the Buhari administration. An unnecessary campaign in my opinion and the reason for this position has since been treated on my @Omojuwa twitter timeline. No, criticizing the government does not make me a wailer, it makes me a normal citizen.

I do not know what was going through Mr. Femi Adesina’s head when he called out a group as “wailing wailers” but I do not know that its definition cannot wrap up everyone who rises in criticism against president Buhari. The reason is simple and intuitive enough. If you spent five years deifying and praising a largely corrupt and clueless Goodluck Jonathan administration, an administration whose high point was the fact that it left in peace when it got voted out by the Nigerian people, how do you justify your intentions on the altar of national interest when you suddenly realize just months into a new administration you were already calling for miracles, the miracles you did not expect with record breaking oil prices?

A wailing wailer is different from a regular critic in that the regular critic sees something wrong and points it out, he or she even gets to point out ideas to make change happen and the position of the regular critic does not change just because the head of government has changed. The wailing wailer is one who does not care about anything other than to show that Nigerians were wrong to have voted Goodluck Jonathan out. Period. For them, it is about proving a point; you all were wrong to have voted Jonathan out. If you regularly see those who voted Buhari often posting messages like, “even though Buhari is not impressing me, I do not regret voting Jonathan out,” that is because these wailing wailers wake up dialy reminding people they should never have sacked Goodluck Jonathan. For them, it is about nothing but Goodluck Jonathan.

This is why all of us cannot be wailers. Like I tweeted in July after another round of criticisms against the Buhari administration and the so called wailers came with their, “oya come and take form” pettiness again, “I am NOT a Wailer. I do not criticise govt because I hate those who run it or because I am not crying over spilled milk, I just want a better country, irrespective of who is president.
