The answer to why Nigeria is not developing, why progress is not sustained, has been answered in the last few days by how the government, elected officials, and officeholders have responded to a simple demand by its youths to do their jobs and keep them alive.
The ruling class will rather destroy the spirit of the coming generation than give an inch, and accept that things can and should change for the better. It's not rocket science; it's an addiction to their own venal incompetence.

Maybe we should return the street police to their colonial designations -- Ọlọ́pàá -- where their most dangerous weapon is a baton.
It's insane enough that we let them carry AK-47s on the road, when we don't live in a war zone. #SARSMUSTEND

Hey sir @jidesanwoolu, this is a good day to tell the police in Lagos to not harass protesters as they go about their constitutionally-protected right to free speech and assembly.
You see am so?
Has any sitting senator (from the majority or minority party) said anything?
So how is this a democracy then, when the legislative arm of government that can solve this problem with law and/or public hearing has refused to say a word? What's the fucking point?
