There's a saying, "Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die". In a Country of about 140 Million residents and about 20 Million employees, it's shameful that there were only 300 teachers protesting last month. NO ONE wants to do the heavy lifting to send a corrupt govt out of office. It's obvious that Yar’s administration didn't think much of this protest because they weren't there in their strong numbers. Perhaps the current event in Thailand could inform poor Nigerians of the power of numbers and doggedness. There should have been so many protesters down there raising a ruckus that Yar would have been forced to send out his goon cops to break up the crowd – now let’s see which police or soldier would cast the first stone against his fellow powerless poor (we are all lumping proletariats). With all that this guy and the previous administrations have done, it’s unfathomable to me no recall petition has been filed to get the recall on the ballot. Are the people THAT afraid of tiny elite of 5,000? Or do they simply agree with suffering in silence? To bring about change, the people and unions still need to turn out be vocal against this govt hoping the media will give them the support as a 4th arm of govt designed to make the voice of the populace be heard, as the old Greek adage said “Vox Populi, vox dei”. The Voice of the People is the Voice of God. People, you are the god in a democary not the other way around - please be informed and thanks to few news-papers like Vanguard, Daily Champion for their new attitude of siding with the poor instead of glorifying the rich and corrupt elite and their recent write-ups about the plight of our majority - the poor
