Enough of the arm-twisting from the bouguirsie, where are the NLC, TUC, NANS, the African Pilot of those days, WASU of those days, and others? Nigerians are suffering and smiling in the face of everything skyrocketing every day… No one could talk for the fear of being persecuted.
This country is developing retrogressively. Arise oh compatriots, Let’s take back our country with our thumbs if we can’t revolt against this impunity of these oppressors, the oppressed should make use of the only prospect which is voting them out.
The class consciousness is here. Let the dictatorship of the proletariat begin and let the politicians be at the clemency of the masses and not the customary VOTE BUYING.
Don’t let us fail our children. Let us discontinue this stillness in Suffering and put on the spirit of our heroes past like the Late Chief Obafemi Awolowo, sir Ahmodu Bello, and the Late Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe to mention but a few, who stood firm in the face of oppression from the foreigners that led to the Unification of the region called Nigeria today.
Why Domestication of exploitation? When we have everything by ourselves, and we are commandeering a Democratic government when we can’t even democratize within ourselves not talk of government.
Nigerians have never glimpsed a tsunami of economic downturn like this in history since independence.
This dominance is at the pinnacle of it, the so-called self-government by a few oligarchs who do not want to put the poor multitudes into consideration before formulating policies.
Are we in Hell already? I think I should ask our spiritual fathers and mothers may be they can throw more light to what we are facing today, why everything has turn upside-down.
They are also keeping tranquil, where are those radical pastors who will not compromise their certitude even in the face of persecution? In the military era, there were people making ultimata from the government over the affairs of the state, today laws are now like mere pedagogy without legitimacy, and the judiciary is no longer viable or even approachable, I think the second coming of Christ is here.
Nothing seems to be functioning here anymore, the democracy itself in this part of the world is a subterfuge. With sincere determination, we can correct these abnormalities through effective use of our Permanent Voters cards during election by voting leaders whose policies and programmes would not only favour the masses but make Nigeria a better place to live .
Another opportunity has beckoned, we shouldn’t mortgage our future forthwith. Enough of these sufferings!
