When Power Sits Upstairs

Almost every day, the government over here talks about the billions and millions of naira that they just signed for government officials to use, while a man somewhere is thinking twice before he uses his money to buy breakfast or lunch. And to be honest, this difference hurt a lot. And it feels like like two children from the same parents, but they have never met before.

Different policies are being implemented every day as some new rules that will never favor the masses are signed into law. Because the loans released by the government only get to those with the best connections. Our government tells us that they have subsidized some things, yet it's only the rich that enjoy that privilege because it vanishes before it even gets to the poor.

And the question Is this a matter of greed and corruption? I will absolutely say yes. Because once all these leaders have been elected to power, they see us, the citizens, from a distance, and they use their power just anyhow. They now travel overseas for medical help they are escorted by a lot of convoys, and they have fewer issues.

Government is meant to serve every one of us and not only those who have power. And the only reason why money keeps circulating among some people alone is because the government does not know what hunger is, and they have forgotten the faces of those who put them in power.

And this is why we, the common people, do not need the long talk. What we need is policies that will only work for us when new policies are being implemented, prices of goods that we can afford. Because when there is an imbalance in the system, people will continue to get angry, a lot of people will japa to other countries with good policies, protests might come up, and prayers and curses for better government and on the government will continue to increase.

Thank you for reading.
