People, i think before our government can change there is a need for a change in the basic thought patterns of the average nigerian. This election results and all underscore a few facts:
1) The average smart person thinks their vote doesnt count
2) We accept anything as long as it apparently lets us be
3) Complain a lot but when the opportunity comes we expect somebody else to fix it.
It has often been said a people get a government they deserve. How many of us actually voted, even though it was rigged, how many of us thought to encourage the new people who thought we were tired of the oppresive democracy. Politicians are still making the same promises for the past 40 years. I dont expect the new people to fix our problems in 4 years but i think they will lead us in a path and lay a foundation for a new beginning. The greatest insult "when nigerians are pushed to the wall, they break it down and keep going", that's our curse. we should know its only cowards who do that.
Do you think that an enlightnment campaign can help against the next regime?
Can we begin the ground work that can change the mentality of the tout?
is there hope at all?
