Nigeria is protesting against bad government. The U.S. is battling with an impending recession, and the world stock and crypto markets are not having it together. Many companies are closing down as the tops ones are suffering a massive loss.
Almost every country around the world are already battling a recession. With the crypto and stock market in a red zone nothing is certain about the future as it looks like nothing is going well for most countries and their citizens.
While all of this is happening…the interesting part is that we don't want to treat this issue in terms our responsibility. Pushing responsibility to others at a time of distress is certain. Not even the higher being escapes this when humans are having a crisis. We see this happen on a daily basis.
Today is the fourth day of the protest here in Nigeria and nothing has yet been done by the so called president in terms of meeting the people's demands. The press release wasn't of any help as it was about denying the same demand. No alternatives, no remedy just a blatant No. Evidently, the government is not ready to submit.
But should they be blamed?
Every so often, I wonder, should the citizens be blamed for being demanding of their government? Or should the government be blamed for not adhering to the people's demand now that things has not yet escalated?
No one even knows what the fuck the government are supposed to do and not do anymore. Nonetheless, I don't see how any government is ever going to be able to solve its citizens problems. It is like closing the wealth gap between average Joe's like me and the Elon Musk Elites. If you're thinking that way, then you're daydreaming.
Decisions are all about incentives.
And the good ones usually don't come with one
Imagine what a peaceful and inflation-free country would look like. No one wants that as it doesn't fatten the government purse compared to leading a warzone and a inflationary country. One is certain to bring in big money deals and donations than the other.
This is human nature, as the bad decisions are the right answer if it comes with a bag. The subsidy that cause all this turmoil is a profits to the government purse. This is the way the government operates.
War is overated
Peace is underated
Wars are not fought to bring peace to the country, but rather a way to bring in more money and divert them into the military. The U.S. in collaboration with Zelensky did that with Ukraine and Russia. Presently, some fat fuckers are benefiting from Israel and Iran War, while the people are the ones to suffer.
Harming the citizens you swear an oath to protect is okay as long as it brings in money. Honestly speaking If we all have peace, money and no war then we will have no need for the military nor would anyone want to join if he's living the best life. And the government won't be able to say they spent this amount for security. It's simple logic.
But when war starts, then there is need to finance the military and spend some money on security.
War could be looming.
I say this because both sides are not ready to give in nor submit. The last protest from the people in 2020 ended in a massacre that shook the whole country.
I don't wish for a war to happen but I bet Ukraine, Russia, Iran and Israel also never wished for war until they have to start fleeing for their lives.
