At the St Saviour’s Anglican Church, Tafawa Balewa Square, Marina, Lagos,
southwest Nigeria during the church’s 32nd Synod. Fashola lamented that people
complained too much instead of helping the government to solve the problems at
hand.
“Nigerians
are very difficult people to please. He gave an example of when Nigerians
were complaining of incessant harassment by policemen at checkpoints, they were
dismantled by the Inspector General of Police. The same Nigerians are now
complaining that the absence of the checkpoints have aided the free operation
of criminals on the roads.
He said “The same scenario is playing out on the issue of ban by the police
of the indiscriminate use of tinted glasses by motorist, which has been
taken advantage of by criminals. The people are now accusing the police of being
highhanded on the issue,”
He added that “In the last week, the number of lives that have been lost to
violence and insecurity must bring any serious people into a sense of sobriety
and a very serious question about what direction our country is heading,”.
He is right, in a way! Man is difficult to please, and we complain too much instead of giving meaningful
advice to resolve the situation at hand. As for the tinted glass issue, my own is
that the politicians and the high state officers should first stop using
tinted glasses and Nigerians will follow suit.
They should lead by example, and
walk the talk.
I complain too much chei? ;-)
