Before the advent of social media, the only way the masses could get the government to hear them out besides getting the representatives at the house of assembly speak for them is through protests, either peaceful or violent, but I think the peaceful ones are the best call though. That way you have to match up to the office in charge or ministry or even to the government house just to get their attention and trust me this method was kinda effective, maybe not a hundred percent but at least the authorities involved get to respond to these protest which helps solve half of the problem then.
Then came social media where you can be anywhere and talk to the president which looked like an effective and stress free approach but then we all have to be sincere with ourselves how much of this have been very effective as it claims to be. Remember when we had the #BBOG (bring back our girls campaign) it looked effective, we even had the international community weighing in on it, people from all works of life and even top politicians who has no social media savvy even joined and played the card, I think that was one of the biggest hash tag trend out of Nigeria besides the big brother frabchise, but then it was just a social media drama that had Nigerians up and doing for some months and it died down immediately like one of those moments where the Viagra wears out (well if you know, you know).
Now don't get me all wrong I'm a big fan of hash tags and social media campaigns but this new one on the Soot in portharcourt I think we should go beyond just social media campaigns and trending hash tags but do a peaceful match to the government house or ministry of environment and get them to understand what it really is that is going on, I think hearing from the governor that this issue will be tackled adequately and maybe a round table meeting will be held with the perpetrators of this heinous act and see a way to curb the flames and darj smokes causing this, maybe a lecture on how to control these should be held too.
Trust me we can be more effective if we let go off social media for this and really come all out and make the move to end the soot, maybe this one can be more successful than #EndSARS which by the way did not even shake the table at all, except the people who still go about as SARS officials are really not that.

Rivers Re-run Elections; A Rat Race
Just this past weekend rivers state experienced another mini episode of unrest, well it's just the usual election drill, snatching of ballot boxes fake electoral papers, political thugs, clueless party agents and ignorant voters lining up.. maybe they did take it up a bit this time using social media as iwitness report to give us happenings at election ground...
However it was the most awkward media report I've seen in my entire life except something more stupid tops that in the future for now it stays number one...
Well both parties were taking turns to post same pictures accusing each other of thuggery... I could have let that pass but it was kind of confusing because it was meant to be propaganda to out do themselves but it was more like two stupid girls trying to use same lie to win a guy over
I really don't know how the praise singers of these politicians think but everyone's brain is not really under their flip flops...
And to think of the most obscured the only thing they normally provide for their subjects who would have to stand under scorching sun to vote them which use to be rice and groundnut oil did not surface, so now we would only think of our benefits for voting them as nothing
I am just saying when they get up there its done no one cares again until it's time to make campaign promises again they will return like king Kong and climbed the towers of our head making us feel important until after the elections (I call that wili-wili politics)...
Well for those that died during the process it's a shame your blood counted instead of your votes, and FYI the people you died for forgets you as soon as results will be called (who am I kidding you won't even know I wrote this article, you guys are dead) but it's actually the end...
Well at least me my pvc is not wasting, I'm actually using it properly to clear myself when they ask for a valid identification...
Lemme just go before PDP will say APC sent me, then another APC guy will pin point me to PDP... lemme just clear the politically I stand with KOWA (don't even know what that stands for)
