TwoCents | WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE

Ehen and so?? When you were my age what happened? Was fuel sold at the ridiculous price it is now? Imagine saying you will "deal with Obidients (Peter Obi supporters)" while queuing for fuel because of the government that you are supporting. How stupid do you have to be to utter such words? Truly, what sportsdokita on Twitter said is valid. He said that he was wondering what was going through the minds of those who chose Barrabas, a thief and robber and murderer over Jesus and now he sees APC supporters, he understands. It is truly shameful. Was Real Estate the laundering scheme it is now?Were you renting or owned your home? Or do you not remember your own ancestors giving out land to their children? Now people are doing yahoo(fraud) and runs to maintain one lifestyle and seem like they are making it in life. Were 20 year olds under this insane amount of pressure with no commensurate support? Inflation is at an all time high. Someone can go to the market with four thousand Naira and not buy much, talk less of ten thousand or twenty. Were the leaders close to the grave? I mean Buhari ruled in your time and is still president in mine? Tinubu was a governor then and is now almost with the ancestors still vying for the presidential seat? Was food so hard to find? I mean you grew and produced your meals. Now people can barely feed and some government is claiming to feed school children with one billion everyday Power is still a problem now as it was then and you are telling me to take you serious. I cannot. Available jobs are not matching available labour. Even those with jobs are underpaid or underemployed, thereby killing the market value of compensation Insecurity is now normal because the brood of vipers from your generation have decided to keep the country in constant fear of their lives. People cannot travel certain routes without praying not to be kidnapped for ransom which they don't have. I remember watching a video where the family had to leave the country because of this same situation. The wife and daughter were raped in front of the family, the husband was beaten to stupor and till today, they are stuck with unwarranted PTSD. Imagine you who should be a veteran coming out to drop a soundtrack for a corpse to take over because stomach politics must just prevail(openly shades Bimbo Akintola) as this was the inspiration for this post. I seriously weep and I am praying that people receive sense nowadays. I am tired and I'm sure you are too. Please do what you must in this election Get your voter's card Or better yet, encourage those around you to do so Unless you don't have parents who love you, I do not see why you are voting for your ancestors to take the rein Unless you are comfortable hearing spokespersons telling you it's not about holiness in politics, because sinful men are the only people who can change a sinful society, I would suggest making the right choice God bless Nigeria May we not PDAPC or go to a different town hall of balabulu
