Increase in Prices: Where are NANS and NLC?

Lazy Nigerian youths are presently glued to their TVs watching Big Brother Nigeria while everything around them has increased in price. The government announced an increment of petrol pump price to #151.56k, DSTV has increased the prices of its various bouquets, PHCN has increased power tariff by a whopping 50%, the price of a bag of rice is upward of #29,000 etc, etc. Yet the Nigerian youth is not bothered. Gone were the days when the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, was up and doing. Ditto for the workers’ umbrella body, the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC. Alas, there is no longer social activism in Nigeria anymore. Reason the government is lazy in generating revenues in a cerebral and imaginative way by resorting to a crude and simplistic manner of raising revenues. Talk of Nero fiddling while Rome burns. This is indeed a season of anomie.
