Who Are We fighting For?

Before the incident at the Rivers state house of assembly I thought it was only BokoHaram that is fighting for someone more powerful because they claim they are fighting for God. On Tuesday, Hon. Bipi of the Rivers state house of assembly couldn't help but admit who he is fighting Amaechi form "Why should he insult the president?", those were his words when the deputy governor was trying to calm him down. What show of shame for someone that should be the mouth piece of a group of people.

Who are we really fighting for? Did "oga at the top" sustain any injury in the process? The answer is NO as oga is grooving with his wife in faraway China while is bulldogs are sustaining injuries. The guy hon. Lloyd hit with the house mace was not even a house member. Now he's cooling his head in a hospital all for fighting for his "oga".

Right now all the talk is on Hon. Bipi having a link with "oga at the top". Some even suggest that he and the remaining 4 anti-Amaechi members were given huge sums to impeach Gov. Amaechi by all means. Now it has degenerated into a tribal war where the Kalabaris are out for blood claiming that hon. Amachree their son must complete his tenure. From yesterday's news atleast 3 people from Hon. Amachree and Hon. Bipi's camps were injured in the protest.

Who are we really fighting for? Did we see the thuggish way Hon. Lloyd hit that man with the mace (though unconfirmed report suggests the mace he broke was a fake mace made by anti-Amaechi group)? Did you see the way Hon. Bipi was ranting and swearing what he will do with his thugs? This summarizes the fact that we are fighting for thugs, cultists and criminals. We are being ruled by people who have questionable characters, people who have killed and stolen from their own people.

My good people of Nigeria when we will stop fighting and killing ourselves for these hopeless few? When will we hold our stand and demand justice, equity and fairness instead of peanuts we might receive today? When will we take our future in our hands? When will we stop fighting for these senseless people and fight for ourselves for ones? Why can't we demand our rights like the Ghanaians and Egyptians have done? When do we make these people understand that delivering good governance is not our privilege but our right?

We need to stop fighting their fight. If fighting was such fun or was that easy; let them fight for themselves.
