A change is going to come...

For how long do we have to wait to enjoy the basics of life? For how long do the poor have to pay for the inept of the rich? For how long do we have to make the sacrifice?

Government for the umpteenth time plans to remove the subsidy on petroleum, products. Since the 1970s when the pump price of petrol was as low as 8kobo, Government have been removing subsidy and till now we have nothing to show for it. For every time there has always been a promise of providing palliative measures which we never see. The subsidy being removed is promised to be used to provide more infrastructures. We never see that too.

Any economist or elite who supports the fuel subsidy reduction is either benefiting from it; will not be adversely affected; or is totally ignorant of what people go through.

The government must be WICKED or ignorant of the repercussion of this impending action. The N18,000 minimum wage is still being argued upon after several years. The said minimum wage is only for the public sector workers. So what happens to the private sector workers? What happens to the unemployed who are even more?

People around the world are now standing to challenge government. From the Arab springs to the European nations and even the United States, it is obvious there is going to be a class war. The elites, the politicians will be on one hand and the suffering masses on the other. Any other class of people who feels the government is on the right path is definitely against the masses.

It’s time we stopped listening to big grammar and go back to the days of stones, bottles and destroying the elite’s property. I know for sure, if the average politicians who benefits from impoverishing us is targeted then they will know we mean business. I’m sorry if this incites violence, but we need more than that to get what we want because our pleas and arguments are not heard.
