What we as a horde of followers are proving beyond reasonable doubt is that no matter how vacuous the craniums of the (s)elected "leaders" (*spits* leaders ko, bleeders ni) are, they know one thing, and they know it so well. They have understood how inured the average Nigerian has become, that he or she will rather stay "managing" adversity as well as remain averse to bleeding and death, even for a cause, just or otherwise.
The politician, often not the brightest bulb in the box, knows all too well that irrespective of educational class and academic achievement, these lily-livered citizens are cowards in the depths of their beings. Not just your average-Joe coward either, far from it. These are a special breed, or a hybrid, if you like. They mix it all up, crossbreeding talking without facts to fighting those who even attempt to put in a word for them or induce action for their own sakes.
And having perfected the art of enshrining poverty in perpetuity in the land, the politician tells his soul to relax, eat and be merry because, for a pittance, he can always call on an army of hungry mouths to do his bidding, therefore cementing, in sempiternity the status quo.
