Rivers Re-run: How We Got It All Mixed Up. by ogmaskman: 3:38pm On Mar 20, 2016
I hear pple shout 'we nor go gree'. Some shout 'kill anybody trying to rig'. And many kinds of unprintable instructions. How did we get here as a pple. How did it get to the point where brothers now kill brothers all in the name of politics. What differentiates us from vultures. Rivers has become a killing field and pple are shouting 'we will resist them'. Resist who? Who is them?Some rivers state indigenes behave like they will take a bullet for Amaechi or wike. They keep insiting the gullibles. What I expect from anyone living in rivers state is to preach peace and educate the pple on what is right. No need shouting pdp is rivers and rivers is pdp or shouting APC change. In the first place, all the contestants are rivers indigenes. They all have ties with each other at some points. They are all politicians. If u look closely u will notice that all politicians are same irrespective of party affiliation. For instance, mavin kobana and chibudum wuche moved to the APC just bfor the supreme court judgement that affirmed wike's election. So also a lot of former APC members jumped ship soon after they lost at the supreme court. Who is fooling who here?
Does belonging to pdp or APC change a thief to a saint overnight? I Realy don't get it when I hear pple shout 'we will resist them'. The problem with our electoral process is me and u. Otherwise why should anybody die for something that should advance the course of man.

A few posers:
Why should a house of assembly member mention scholarship as an achievement. He should be making laws and checking the excesses of the executive. Period.
Why should a house of reps member mount the podium and say he bought keke or taxis for his pple, in return he should be voted for. They are lawmakers/oversight on the executive. Nothing more.
Same applies to a senator. If you give scholarship keep it to urself. It's not a yardstick for pples votes.
Why should a gov act like an emperor when the reverse should be the case.
Why should (ex) militants take up sensitive positions when more qualified and law abiding citizens abound. What message is such arrangement sending to those who believe in the rule of law. What do u think will happen to the psyche of those still bearing arms.

See what I mean. The problem is me and u. Till that day when we stop singing praises of these thieves and murderers. Till that day when we see thru their lies. Till that day when we ask them to be accountable. Till that day when we conduct party primaries like humans and not goats. Till that day when we disabuse our minds. Till that day when we can resist rogue politicians and not military and militants (if we get the politicians in line others will follow). Till that day when we are able to tell the so called leaders, that political office is not a highway to riches but service to the pple. We will continue to remain in this vicious cycle where only a few (the politicians and their militants) benefit.

Political office holders will continue to cause trouble because of what they stand to gain. If the environment is peaceful it will not only expose their incompetence but drastically reduce their security votes. A peaceful environment will open the eyes of the pple to how they are being governed. Peace is what our politicians detest.
They come into power without a clear cut vision. They rig their way to power thru me and you, yet you still hear pple shouting 'we will resist this we will resist that.

Until we do a reset on our brains and channel the energy, hatred, zeal, vigour and enthusiasm towards good governance I tell you we are running on the same spot.
Let's leave it here for now.

I still do not think it a party thing. No party is immune here. They are same old crooks.
