Looking at this our Autocratic government were the wishes and opinions of citizens does not matter, I can't help but wonder how good, employment opportunities and less crime Nigeria would have been if we had someone like Jerry Rawlings a flight lieutenant of Ghana Airforce, I don't no if you have heard about him, a Ghanaian who stood by justice to make sure his country grows, so he discovered the country was corrupted by some dictators that wants power to rotate among themselves, while the poor continue to suffer, so after he evaluated there country situation, the only way he could bring back there unity and good government was to kill all there bad political leaders in other for the country to grow, so he did according to his plan and it worked, those that were found guilty were sentence to death by firing squad and now look how organized the country is, most Nigerians are now traveling to Ghana for a quality education.
imagine if something like that was done in Nigeria, what do you think Nigeria would have been, do you think the country would have still remain like this or more better? Please share your opinion.
Pardon me if I may have gone far on my words, I just felt to share this.
I learnt this narrative was just rumours that never happened. I am yet to see it in a literature or history book. I know the story is popular on social media but no one can point to any legally recognised news media that published this incident.
Personally, I don't see this approach as effective because if it were, the various military coups would have produced corruption free leadership because military coups are carried out on the basis of corruption and injustice.
What we need more as a people is issue base politics; we have to continue preaching the need to do things right and just maybe one day it will happen. Rwanda today is making progress because the people realised that doing things right is the key... other African countries can borrow a clue from Rwanda like Zambia is already doing.
