Nigeria@64: We are in bondage; the struggle for a change must continue—Human rights activist demonstrates captivity
By Onome Naomi
Demonstrating the situation of Nigeria, Human Rights Activist Comrade Prince Saviour Iche says Nigeria @64 is in bondage as he wraps himself up with the Nigerian flag tightened to his frame in show of the current reality of what a democratic system in Nigeria entails.
Iche says it is seemingly sad to note that Nigeria, the largest continent in Africa, rich in all manner of resources, operates a democratic government where nobody can challenge the excesses of the government without being apprehended.
Comrade Prince Saviour Iche says,
“A country that takes instructions from the western world and cannot make decisions on her own, a country that takes orders from the IMF for an increase or decline in currency value, a country that depends mainly on oil to generate GDP while foreign bodies explore our natural resources to develop their countries, a country that forbids to conduct a free and fair election is a failed state.”
“Nigeria of today depends more on importation for sustenance. More also, Nigeria has the highest ranking in Africa of student dropouts, meanwhile employment is on the increase and minimum wages for workers, as agreed, have not been put into effect. Nigeria is in a coma; it is not time to truly celebrate independence.”
“President Tinubu should know that the youths who are the leaders of tomorrow have been stagnated by the retrogressive factors affecting the nation.”
“There is no credible election; they merely do selection to office; it is noted that a leading political party must not lose an election to an opposition party. Moreso, Nigeria has become a mockery before other nations; the Buhari and Tinubu administration appointed incompetent ministers by choice, not by merit or area of specialization.”
“Tinubu’s speech on October 1st was mere noise with no merit or hope for Nigerians; Nigerians are suicidal and depressed due to hardship, while our president, ministers, and leaders in government bask in wealth. Nigeria is not a democratically independent state; the struggle for a change must continue.”
