Senator David Mark, Nigeria New "Mr. Fix It"

Some days ago during the hue and cry about fuel subsidy, when Nigerians were ready to occupy Nigeria, technocrats, politicians, artisans and, even the unemployed were deployed to the streets as foot soldiers for and against the removal of fuel subsidy. Some worked for their pockets other, selflessly, ie for the unity of Nigeria. In all, one person stood out. The senate president, Senator David Mark.
His role in ensuring that the subsidy crisis did not over blow, and thus destabilising the government of president Goodluck has earned him a new name -"Mr Fix It".

I must commend him and the speaker of the house of Representative for having the common man's view in mind, and not just playing the politics of what is in it for me.

Be that as it may, I implore them not to gloss over the vexed issue of corruption in the oil sector and all other government establishments but, to ensuring that all offenders are brought to book.
After all, if the country is rid of corrupt elements to the extent that foreign investors find irresistible and attractive to invest, our generation and those yet unborn will benefit.

Then, the need and means to develop our health sectors, repair our roads, and even improve on our educational system to affordable state may be within reach. Nigerians in diaspora would have reasons to come home instead of remaining in foreign land where they are treated as second class citizens.
Our Politicians' may reduce the act of wasting money on constant trips abroad for medical check up and all.
Even some of the governors might humour us by allowing their children attend neighbourhood schools.

For all these to work, every hands must be on deck to lift our dear country up. As the saying goes, what is good for the goose is also good for the gander.
