three different colours


                            THREE DIFFERENT COLOURS……

Governing Nigeria is sometimes like standing in the middle of old Trafford and singing a different song as the home crowd. You are expected to be corrupted, fight corruption, if possible do all you can and make all the laws you can make but at least do not touch the price of the only thing that makes the people tick, the only thing that keeps the people going…don’t touch it or don’t over touch it in case you feel tempted to….the people`s gold….petrol
Make laws on petrol and you may get a backlash and may not even get reelected again. But what makes Nigerians so unbelievable violent and sensitive when it comes to fuels…..  It is the source of power not just for homes but also industries and companies due to constant irregular power and also poor security that ravages the country all year round. That makes the people to always come around and celebrate whenever they get the chance.
Why the diverse reaction to the subsidy removal? It simply shows how the country fare year in year out... different groups of people with different  cultures, food, mode of life, different ideas and different styles of life… and they strive to put their differences aside and try to make it through the normal but hard days that they face every day. The south did not bother to protest. Support your man.
The other parts had pleasure voicing their opinion and hurling insults on the man who had come to take away their only joy, source of livelihood and maybe their rope of unity.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kpc8gwCXDn8
Was  it a wrong decision? No.it was never a bad idea. what did he do wrong? It’s like jumping ten steps and moving over to the eleventh step and then making the tenth step look so hard that you promise to make up for the other missed or roughly done steps look unbelievably hard.
What makes a Nigerian president? Fight corruption, improve power supply, put logistics in place to make the lives and properties safe. If you can achieve that then you have endeared yourself to the people. So easy and done…..
