It's rather a sport day over LG election in some parts of Lagos
In the ongoing Local Government Elections in Lagos State, it was seen that most part of the state engaged them selves in sport activities instead of queuing up to cast their vote as expected.
To these ones, politicians comes with big megaphones making promises of a brighter future etc but the truth is they generally perceived as bunch of greedy individuals who seek governmental power in a bid to enrich their pockets rather than exercise the power positively for the development of the country.
Once the power is attain, they choose to deliberately forget the promises they made to during campaign.
Somewhere around Ipaja Lagos, the apathy is big enough to swallow a whale. You will find NBA wannabes and young boys playing street soccer.
They would rather use the curfew on commercial activities to kick some ball and catch up with old friends.
Guess where they are doing that? Sport centres and make-shift football pitches carved out of bad roads that should have been maintained by some rulers vying for political positions today.
The electorates have already adjudged the current aspirants as failures based on the past performance of their predecessors.
Nigerians generally are pessimists and skeptics who often believe in the worst in others by default.
Being called a true Nigerian requires adopting a great mentality to battle oppression and hardship.
I am proud of my countrymen because they never let the tough situations get to them. The strong ones and even the ones who are not!
My dream for them is to see the day when I won't have to eulogize their power of perseverance, but their responsible government who will leave no stone unturned in a bid to satisfy them.
For now, focus on the fact that not a lot of folks give a damn about politics!
