I was sitting watching YouTube videos of all the various OccupyNigeria protests and one thing struck me, one question came to my mind, so I thought I would ask it out load via my blog.
If a man came to each of you as an individual and offered to give you N1m, cash with no conditions, or they would build the worlds biggest oil refinery in Nigeria, which would you choose ?
I think there in lies just one of the reasons why today, after less than a week, the Occupy Nigeria movement is already closing down and winding up, why the movement is already over. You see for me, the vast majorty of nigerians are quite selfish, and most average nigerians, those earning N18k or less, the 90%, would take the N1m and not care that the oil refinery would solve so many of the countries problems.
Is that different from other countries, from other Occupy movements around the world? Yes I believe it is, and yes I believe that is very sad. Nigeria abeg, continue what you have started here and go for the real cause of your situation.
