Occupying The Nigerian Mind

The events of the past few days since the new year should serve as a platform for deriving new tenets on the Social Movement Theory. Apart from focusing on the questions: "why people are aggrieved?" and "why do aggrieved people act on their feelings?", it is safe to add "why do the causers of grief (Jonathan et al) always seem to go scott free at the dispense of its people who in actual fact possess the power to put him & co. out of office?"


Nigeria yato. We are a different people. It is unusual for one to settle, 'spesh when in your settling, you're wallowing in pain. Truth is, most Nigerians know no other way of life than one laced with pain, hemmed with suffering and embroided with smiles...


You should ask: if these protests end up successfully, are we ready to adjust to its aftermaths which will entail living a normal life characterized by good and accountable governance, supremacy of the rule of law, justice reign, going about things in the right manner without fair/unfair treatment based on status or relation to a person in power, etc...which in actual sense we aren't used to? Have you as An individual laid out plans for yourself which centre on abiding by the points mentioned above to the teeth? Even if it means having to start from scratch or forsake a friend/loved one in the name of being law abiding? Can you pledge that you will be faithful, loyal, hones, serve Nigeria with all your might and defend her unity? And with your life? Are you willing to make sacrifices, be the keeper of your brother or a mere stranger who has nothing to offer you in spite of your good deed?


I can go on, but a part of the answer to our problems lies in the wordings of our National Pledge. Living its words, not just chanting them as words we remember being taught in nur/pri school.


We are definitely living in stormy times in Nigeria which shall pass. The Ultimate Question is: "What happens after the Storm?" You Decide.


God Bless Nigeria.
