Lights,camera,action!

We'll increase the price of petrol,you'll go on the streets to protest,we'll meet,eat some small chops,sip some fine wine,we'll then reduce the price to our initial target of 100naira(shaking my head at 97),we'll shake hands and go home happy.
Then we'll come back in March and do it all over again!
Now thats what I call a damn good T.V show,almost as dull and uninspiring as Tinsel(I mean,seriously,can there be a worse show on T.V).

The outcome of the NLC led strike and street protests was as predictable as water boiling on a stove!As long as the protests were tied to the increase in pump price of petrol and not to the the issues of lack of accountability,corruption and the sheer feferity(for lack of a better word) of government and governance,it was always bound to suffer a meek and cowardly ending.
So,after enjoying a full week of street carnivals,complete with live music shows,good drinks and beautiful women,can we all spare a thought for the true occupiers who gave their lives believing they could ask for change in a crippled country.Those who made the mistake of willing a stream in the middle of a desert.Those who died for the impossible.
Even as I rise from my bed after a week of occupation,my heart goes out to the future generation of Nigerians yet unborn,who will rightfully point at us for this lost opportunity.Who will wonder loudly why we did not just dance to a Fela CD in our living rooms,if a music show was what we really wanted!
