Lazycapitalist2: It's the Messiah Complex in us. Instead of doing the work of overcoming sin we learn a Jesus Christ will die for us and the wages of our sins will dissapear. And this despite the fact he taught that we all must bear our own crosses and do greater things than he did. When our suffer reach our eyes will most certainly open I reckon. 1 Like |

There’s something I’ve learned from seeing African protests occur over a two score lifespan. The demonstrations are hardly about social rights injustices and inhumane living conditions, they are more about opposition bodies rallying unemployed fellows to cause disruptions. No matter how hard things are for Africans, we are prone to grit our teeth and survive. I know very well people with jobs stay seated at their workplace because they have something to lose. The internet blackout is the funniest part of these protests; the average man gets frustrated because they can’t communicate meanwhile the foreign media will make use of VPNs to monitor the situation. I know our idiot leaders are taking note. 1 Like |

AllenSpencer: When Africans begin to look beyond "The Messiah" as a solution, there will be progress. This idea of hunting for a messiah every election year as the panacea is a waste of time, lives, and resources. While one cannot totally excuse leadership failure at all levels, the solution is for people to identify key issues that border on their well-being, suggest and demand implementation of solutions/ ideas by their Governments. Stop going to sleep after elections, thinking politicians will fix things. They won't; they can't. Besides, the people should also be patriotic. Take actions that will strengthen the polity and economy. Invest in the real sector to create employment and business opportunities. 3 Likes 1 Share |

zedman1: You are correct. Our problem is not the leadership but the followership (to coin a word). We sit on our asses and expect the leader to perform magic instead of realising we are responsible for doing the work. Its like when God is written to have said "Let there be Light". We have not yet figured out the immense work that needed to be done before it could be written that "there was light". We think it was a miracle performed by God who we claim created us in its image so we too can just say "let there be good governance in our nation", and good governance in our nation will appear out of thin air. I promise that the day will come when we realise that "let us" is plural, and plural 'we' must be fruitful, as in be productive and rule over our resources (ourselves included), in order to be blessed with the good governance we so much desire instead of waiting for miracles. 1 Like |

codemaniacs: Why does the term "puppet on a string" spring to my mind, I wonder. Was GEJ the most powerful man in Nigeria? Is Buhari self the most powerful man in Nigeria? Or do I just not understand what you mean by "powerful man"? Perhaps its because I'm a judge by fruit person. I don't think the powerful man will do what is described below as we are discovering from Weah's powerlessness, or power to block internet over protests if that is what you mean. 1. adjective. A powerful person or organization is able to control or influence people and events. You're a powerful man–people will listen to you. |

[quote author=Nairalandian post=101344349]Africa and to dey block Internet. I was even shocked they didn't do so in Nigeria during ENDSARS. Maybe Buhari doesn't know how to block Internet.[/quo You can compare Weah with Buhari, the later is a Democrat. |
