"A people deserves the leadership it gets"! How can Nigeria have a 'good' President when the majority of the people just want easy money and hate accountability Keep dreaming! I agree with u in totality, A people will only get the kind of leadership they deserve. Nigeria's problem is fundamental, it starts from the grassroots and not the leadership. We (Me and you) are the biggest problem this country has, and we must change for the better if we are to get the kind of Nigeria we crave for, AND NOT JUST ONE OR TWO PERSONS.
Our so called bad leaders, are we not the ones that voted them in. Of course, i know someone there will say they only rigged the elections, but are we (the masses, me and you) not the instruments they used in perpetrating the act? or do you think any election can be rigged without our involvement? Are we not the ones that take 500 Naira at the polling booth and sell our mandate, right, tool, and weapon (votes) to an avowed rogue? aren't we even the people that attend their rallies, sing their praise songs, and even fight, injure, and kill one another over these thieves for the sake of 1000 Naira we get in return? Corruption has indeed eaten deep in our society, or how many Nigerians believe it is possible to pass an examination without cheating?Cheating is now condoned, and even encouraged in our schools, nobody sees it has been wrong anymore, parents look for special centers for their wards, and school management openly give expo(leaked exam questions) to their students, and at the end of the day, we have dullards graduating in our varsities, and the bright students rot away in poverty and obscurity. All of our own Albert Einsteins, William Shakespeare, Robert Hooke, Adam Smith, Lionel Robinson, Isaac Newton, Winston Churchil, Malcom X, Mussolini, Barak Obama, Bill Clinton, Tony Blair e.t.c are perhaps working as porters, shoemakers e.t.c. in the commercial cities of Lagos, Aba e.t.c. and we have left the task of leading our country in the hands of mediocre and thieves.
How many Nigerians as of today still believe in hard work? Even if we mistakenly get a good leader ready to serve, are we not the ones that will frustrate such government's efforts? are we not the people that will rain curses and abuses on such a leader, an instant of this is what is presently happening in Lagos, we also had something similar during the Buhari/Idiagbon regime where discipline was the order of the day.
What have you contributed today in your own way towards the development of Nigeria. We need to stop thinking of what the should do for us, but rather start asking ourselves what we have done for the country bcos me and you are the government.
It is high time we woke from our deep slumber, my people and let us make the needed sacrifices to take Nigeria to the next level.
