The first type of Nigerians are self-interest motivated. They cry foul and then point their accusing fingers at the highly corrupt, inept and mediocre Nigerian public officials because they have been left out from the daily sharing of the Nigeria's national cake and her juicy political offices. Their price-tag is simple, cheap and affordable for the Nigerian public officials to meet and to keep them quiet forever. These Nigerians will easily and completely backdown, change their true colors, break the ranks and chicken out in the face of those lucrative political appointments, the official nomination for the national awards, the allocation of the import duty waivers, import licenses, the oil blocs and the sharing of the Ghana-must-go bags.
The second type of Nigerians are motivated by their genuine patriotism and true nationalism to see a better Nigerian nation that truly works fairly for all Nigerians in their own lifetime. Their price-tag is beyond what the present and highly corrupt Nigerian public officials can afford to pay for in all reality. The price-tag that will keep these second type of Nigerians quiet forever is a good government that is coupled with accountable leadership.
