I've kept my silence long enough. Part 2

For days, people came out and had the carnival they couldnt have over the yuletide; they spent money on feeding(or were they fed? By who?), they bought recharge cards and made calls, subscribed to thier blackberry plans, boarded vehicles(running on fuel), powered thier generators and watched TV and premiership matches. They came in thier thousands in printed T-shirsts(Who paid for them?). They danced and clapped while others engaged in stealing and looting under the cover of the Mass Protest.

To show the gathering was not original, they adopted the name of a foriegn cause whose protesters demanded for changes in the way financiers in Wall Street were running the economy. "Occupy Nigeria", and they sat in Lagos doing that, inadvertently insinuating that those two states make up Nigeria. None of them are oil producing states, but they barked like they were. Is there a Ministry for Lagos Affairs anymore? What was all the charade about? If they were that resolute to revert to N65, they should have stayed back at the Freedom Park in Ojota and not move a limb until the price was restored to status quo. Dont we like copying? Lets copy the Egyptian uprising at Tahir Square.

The entertainers came out too, actors and musicians that cant have a common association without factions? Have they settled thier membership issues?Are they now a pressure group? Leave politics to the politicians. Someone will get paid handsomely after the protest, yes, be rest assured, someone will buy a car, house, phone. We know all these things. The so-called Civil Society groups are just politically sponsored groups that fool people into thinking they are fighting for thier rights. Whose rights?

Have you ever really seen a Human Rights Advocate who is into that full time and just live on support from like-minded people and sympathetic groups to thier cause? No. They are mostly opposition parties (who get paid by INEC), lawyers (whose pay day are mostly when thier is Election Tribunal). What are we talking about? Lets stop fooling ourselves and avoid making idiotic comments under the guise of being angry.

The House of Reps is conducting a probe right now and we are all hearing conflicting reports(Is it today the rot has been existing?) Whats the stupid noise all about? Do you know the rot in NNPC? Do you know how many people are benefitting from the rot? Were we not shouting when Obasanjo went against NITEL? When he deregulated the telecoms sector? Look at the cost of a SIM card then and now? Are we not looking forward to a day when fuel stations will advertise season pump rates on TV? When they attempt to convince you that your can get your tires pumped free? free oil? Low pump prices? Quality supply? Isnt that what the telecoms operators tell us nowadays?

PHCN; an equally rotten establishment is fighting government over the deregulation of the power sector. Everyone wants to cover up something, and ignorant Nigerians are falling for cheap tricks.
