We Can Do What We Want With Nigeria - Innocent Ajaegbu

In response to a politician’s post about the troubling sight of empty ships leaving Nigeria, a comment stated, “Abeg leave us alone; Nigeria na turn by turn. When it’s your turn, do what you think is best.” This remark reflects a sense of resignation and acceptance of the status quo, implying that each political leader should act based on their term without regard for accountability or collective progress.

This “turn by turn” mentality fosters complacency and discourages citizens from demanding better governance and responsibility from their leaders. It suggests that individuals in power can act solely based on their interests without considering the long-term implications for the country. Instead, citizens should advocate for transparency, integrity, and action that prioritizes the collective good, regardless of whose “turn” it is. Holding leaders accountable is essential for creating a better future for Nigeria.
