Who would fight for the right from the carefree governance? Unlettered parents or their children? Observing the rate of the penny trader’s son who is attending public schools are over millions of people including universities, colleges, polytechnics in Nigeria.
Nigeria hadn’t been a dependable ally in terms of economy, infrastructure, education, and her progressive inches — despite the country had attained her independence from Europeans. Some decades ago, when the citizens were pulled on punches of fanatical and the luciferous struck the livelihood of the citizens: likewise in 1960, the curable was accomplished by its heroes — like an ophthalmologist, they merely cured the citizen’s insight, changed the shadowing from thin to thick. Expectantly, there should be change for citizens that would’ve been free within the society from oppressive restrictions imposed by the Europeans. Henceforth, the citizens ain’t being free from hardship. They have been deprived of their liberty by the political leaders: likewise their preferences, license, self-determination, free-will, latitude, non-confinement, leeway margin, and human thinking.
Nigeria Politicians are the patriots, pillaging the wealth of the nation in a triological order while the citizens are lying an emptiness stomach in fury. The democrats are ruling like the capitalists found in a novel: ‘Petals of blood’ that was written by Ngugi Wa Thiong’o. Although, the writer’s viewpoint was a doldrums, demised by the elites to the people of Kenya doing the post-colonial period. The capitalists dug in a diabolical incubus and hugely corrupt because they refused to adequately meet the needs of the people. In the novel, the elites were the ones solely rewarded by the wealth of the nation, junketing in velvet houses, as well as the economy, was downdrined.
The complicity of the main characters vanished darth: while people gained their liberty.
However, one of the means that would have keenly shapen the eyes of Nigerians to proclaim their civil rights from an Incumbent elite is education, and many Nigerians from an early stage of living had been denied an opportunity of free and stable education. According to the constitution, all children, no matter where they live or what their circumstances: they have the right to quality education. About 10.5 million of the country’s children aged 5-14 years are not in school. Only 61 percent of 6-11 years-olds regularly attend primary school and only 35.6 percent of children aged 36-59 months receive early childhood education. The parents of these children also experienced such doing their infancy period. Who would fight for the right from the carefree governance? Unlettered parents or their children? Observing the rate of the penny trader’s son who is attending public schools are over millions of people including universities, colleges, polytechnics in Nigeria. They have been whilst, possessing the cheapest stability of education and Nigeria Asuu strike has turned to annual enormous sacrifice.
About 95.9 million living in extreme poverty. How could they be enlightened about those Incumbent Politicians who beat a doldrums dearth for them? This is why individual liberty is so important. It protects individuals from the tyranny of the majority. It establishes a base level of intellectual, philosophical, spiritual, and economic diversity that ensures that there is enough free play of ideas in a society for the best solution to shine through. Individual liberty is extremely important to any society looking to move ahead whether economically, philosophically, spiritually, or materially.
Let’s peal into an imaginative tandem; perhaps, the people are free to challenge the government’s will as well as they’re implementing laws. Being free and self-righteous in thinking when people would feel they can freely express their frustrations and petitions to the government, regarding their maladministration. The government won’t feel ‘pushed’ to take matters into their own hands. Instead of taking up arms, heading for the hills, and waging a guerilla war against the central government, disaffected people can take to the airwaves. They can take out ads, and they can participate in the political discourse. When governments give a proper forum for dissenting voices, the society as a whole is more stable because people and dissenting groups don’t feel so disaffected, marginalized, or suppressed that their only option in bringing about change is through violent revolution or regime change brought about by military means. Moreover, weep not, Nigeria concubine feminism — may we never meet anyways.
