A BRIEF LOOK INTO THE CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CITIZENS UNDER BAD GOVERNMENT LIKE OURS :

When a government makes a pledge then fails to redeem it.The rational idea in that case is to mount pressure on the erring government for prompture,owing to the fact it is the civic duty and responsibility of the citizens to take necessary and immediate action to call errant government to order.Again,in a situation the concerned citizens fail as well to perform their regulatory role of check and balance on the government,however the citizens are to blame for nondevelopment of their country.The truth is that Nigerian citizens are unusually docile,sychophantic and malleable.And nothing is going to positively change as it were.It is high time we stopped whining like sick babies and started matching down en masse on all the streets in every nook and cranny of this God forsaken country called Nigeria.At this juncture,it is widely expected that the host of poor Nigerians should be sick and tired of misrule and the attendant consequence,otherwise the abject poverty wrecking havoc in the land today.But,it beats imagination that the said Nigerians are this cowardly and lethargic despite having every reason to react and put things in proper perceptive.
