Can Hunger Strike Ever Work In Nigeria? by karmaleon: 11:32am On Nov 13, 2013 |
Wikipedia defines Hunger Strike as "a method of non-violent resistance or pressure in which participants fast as an act of political protest, or to provoke feelings of guilt in others, usually with the objective to achieve a specific goal, such as a policy change. Most hunger strikers will take liquids but not solid food" This brings me to ask - can such method ever work in a country like Nigeria?

You see my guy, we Africans always forget that we are totally different from westerners in every way. From how they value their lives, and the kinds of leadership qualities. African Governments are killing and purposely making their citizens to suffer from hunger and poverty and you think you staying hungry as a form of protest against the same injustice they purposely commit against us will make them care? Just cos those western governments who value their citizens fell for the same stunt? No way |
