Peaceful nations are not peaceful by chance and unstable countries are not unstable by chance.
Each reaps what he sows.

By choice born of desire shall we correct all our ills.
No outsider can and will do it for us.
Our corruption today is the result of our acquiescence in the past.
Who would have thought that #End Sars was possible? It did happen and we all saw the effect.
Whenever we are ready, our wrongs can be corrected. For so long as we are willing to live with our wrongs, they will continue to grow in leaps and bounds.
Politicians all over the world are the same. The difference is in what their followers allow.
Democracy is not a magic wand, it is hard work with all hands on deck such that the will of the people always prevails.
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable so premised John F Kennedy of blessed memory.

As someone advised, let African leaders use their tongue to count their teeth and make amends quickly in order to preserve our democracy.
