At the ICAN conference today, how many presidential candidates were invited?
How many showed up?
You already know the answer.
When they call for presidential debate anytime in the future, how many will show up?
When radio or TV stations invite them for live interview, how many will show up?
You know why they will not show up….?
They don’t give a damn about you.
They know you will still foolishly die and fight to vote them.
They disrespect you every single day because they don’t regard you.
They make themselves look like gods and you have no choice than to worship them.
They are not yet elected, but you can’t have close access to them…who are you to interview them?
And you know the funniest part, non of you sees it as disrespect or an insult.
When they drive on the road, the roads will be closed for hours for people like you and I because gods are passing.
Yet, it is your money they steal to do all they do while you turn around to still hail them.
At their leisure, they throw peanut to you. You fight and grab it like one small fowl.
You will praise them over your fellow oppressed citizen.
This is why you only saw Teni. You did not see how the oppressor never even brought out his hand to shake her.
No, you won’t see it because according to you, Teni should roll on the ground to greet her oppressor.
The big problem we have is that it seemed we have not been oppressed enough. This is why an oppressed will take the side of his or her oppressor.
And sincerely, I don’t know why it should be you…
Why you?
Why can’t you stand against these people?
Why is it always you?
Why?
