It's no new news again that politics is a game played with a dirty mindset, as majority of the people going into power is for their own selfish interests. I believe democracy is of the people, by the people and for the people and should incase you don't know I just helped you define democracy by Abraham Lincoln. 😁 Despite the fact it is to protect the interest of the people, Ninety nine (99%) percent of our leaders are up there for their selves and families accumulating generational wealth to last more than enough for their fourth generations to come.
Although politics is sweet and all the goodies involved is so enticing, so I believe that's why after a leader is sworn into authority forgets whatever they promise her citizens. left for me, I will willingly turn down a political appointment or offer and these are my kindled reasons. Due to the dirty shits happening over their, my life is too precious to me and my family to waste it fighting corruption. In as much I detest whatever is happening and would want to ensure it stopped, have come to also realize one man cannot fight the thousands of people practicing corruption Especially in Nigeria. you try it, they make sure to hunt your family before coming for your own head so for the sake of the ones I love and my own life, I will bluntly deny the offer to ascertain a powerful position in my country or state.
Secondly, politics is not for the week minded and knowing my kind of personality as an emotional being i won't dare to start what I know i can't finish. My mom has complained several times that am too soft hearted that's why most of the people coming into my life are coming for their own selfish reasons. so knowing how politics works, ladies and gentlemen I would rather grow my own business to the point where myself and everyone around me is very much comfortable than embarking on a life threatening adventure. 🤣
In Nigeria today or should I say the world at large, it's almost an impossible mission trying to win an election without rigging and even though a person tries it, fifty percent half way gone the opposing parties who is ready to play dirt does whatever they can within their power to bring him down as this may involve shedding the blood of innocents, visiting nights for black powers. Have heard stories of patriotic citizens who tried to play politics the right way because of how dare the interest of the people is to them and their end is such a pathetic one. Two things is definitely involved when journey into politics, it's either you play the game or it plays you as simple as it is.
Lastly, I believe it is only those who can not clearly state their mission/purpose before embarking on a journey is more likely to change after pressure is mount on them.
