Editorial: Wake up, don't sleep

WAKE UP, DON'T SLEEP 

We are calling for a change in government, progress for the country, and economic rehabilitation, yet we aren't ready to take the risk to change, shouting can't solve problems but, act and take necessary steps to stop the rant issues. The situation at hand  calls for imminent change, but the question is, "how can it be done, how can we change it"? Who are the die-hard citizens that can bear the risk?.

Let's look back to those who fought for the Independence of this dear country, they all took bold steps , risk their lives and we saw the results, Same still wants to happen at this level, but they were shut down by the authoritarians who don't want their skeleton in the cupboard to leak out and cover their inequity with a good thing and only operate with their selfish interest.

Then if taking the risk can't be a successful turnaround now, let's use our power, hands, vote, voice, and election, to make the change. Are we not to be blamed for making this county woeful situation we so call citizens? The election is the only key instrument which we can use to change the government, then why do we keep spoiling the country and ranting for change in government, and economic rehabilitation when the solution is in our hands, Is it not yet time for us to think deep and wake up from our deep sleep after over a year? Nigerians wake up!.

What they can't do during tenure, then comes the election times it was done, aren't they know what to do, but keep it, and use it as a tool to enslave you and play a deep game for you to fall into another victim so that you will not be able to think through, when material resources, food ( which was not shared during tenure ) money ( no circulation of money, when it now election time it circulating ) etc. are being shared, where are all these resources before when you're suffering for it, so when the election is now at the corner they bring it up so that you can be a fool and carried away with a little fund which worth no dime. How much will you be givien that will satisfy your long tasting, can't you be wise? 

How many cups of food, will you be given that will last you for two tenure? ( 8yrs), why can't you be wise and learn from the past where you all fall.

It is time for Nigerians to wake up from their deep sleep and use their powerful instrument (Voters Card)  to change the government, which is in their hands, Don't sell the future, you can not afford to sell your future again, they only care for the present resources that will finish within a twinkle of an eye and which will not last forever.

 

Wake up from your sleep, take a bold step and a huge risk to secure the future!
