4 years ago,

I was so keen on the American elections, that due to the time zone,

I have to stay awake and 'fire' up generator to watch the debate,

I vividly remember with nostalgic feelings, watching all the debates including that of Vice President aspirants especially, The night Trump call Hillary, crooked Hilary 😁,

Ironically the election was on my Birthday eve,

As I made the trip to Akure on the following day, and the expected Blue States start turning red,

I have a first hand understanding and experience of never underestimate the power of number and strength of propaganda,

December that same 2016, our neighbours, Ghana went to polls and the incumbent President lost, I remember President John Dramani Mahama election conceding speech using the word, HATE CAN WIN.

Catching up with footage of Trump/Biden Debate last night and several comments by Nigerians who are domiciled in Nigeria talking about the debate, analysis it in details, using it to determine who want the best for Americans as President,

This are same people who were vocal against Nigerians knowing intellectual capacity of Muhammadu Buhari and shielded him from such debates in circa 2015 & 2019,

We go on to have a President who simply refuse to do PRESIDENTIAL MEDIA CHAT, get interviewed live on TV and only get press releases from the 'Presidency' through Garba Shehu/Femi Adesina

Knowing well that Rome wasn't build in a day ( Which is our regular rhetoric anyways ) but it didn't take forever to build Rome.

We either need to stop sóbólisation or we apply it to our way/act/doings here too

My View; Deregulation and NLC aborted strike action

 Deregulation,

Hand of Esau, Voice of Jacob

Adams Oshiomole was NLC President all through President Olusegun Obasanjo tenure,

He rebuffed and rejected all plea to deregulate the Oil sector by that administration,

I remember that period witnessed probably the highest number of industrial action and strike in the history of Nigeria,

Today,

Aliyu is a part of Nigeria current handlers and they want same deregulation he stopped back then

When President Good luck Jonathan attempted same, it provided the perfect platform for APC to launch out fully,

I remember the Ojota protest, Occupy Nigeria etc,

I equally remember vividly,

Our current President during an interview saying Fuel Subsidy is a scam, he's not aware (despite being a former Petroleum Minister ) et Al,

He ended up becoming President and has paid the highest amount any Government in Nigeria has paid on same subsidy in just 5years.

Now,

We're back to deregulation,

A process we could have done with minimal stress and issue 13-15 years ago🤭😢

Unfortunately,

Most of the e-tigers and Social Media analyst on the payroll of our current handlers are barely up to 30years, lack knowledge, spew put whatever nonsense they could conjure on issues a Google search could help them provide a balance view

Fortunately,

Nigerians are EASY to Govern, as 'we' gladly accept whatever is thrown at us, with little or no resistance,

The suffer suffer for world and enjoy for heaven mentality need to be redifined and people need to always stand for what is right, sustainable and in the collective interest of our society irrespective of political affiliation.
