⚡️ "Trump Is Not Coming to Rescue Nigeria, Just Like Jesus Hasn't Fixed Electricity!" – Sowore Blasts 'Escapist' Nigerians!
Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has delivered a blunt, no-holds-barred reality check to Nigerians hoping for foreign intervention, labeling the expectation a dangerous fantasy that breeds political impunity.
In a fiery interview with SYMFONI time-frame 7:24, activist Omoyele Sowore tore into the national mindset that relies on an "external saviour" to fix Nigeria's chronic problems, from insecurity to governance failure.
His target was a widespread belief that former U.S. President Donald Trump will somehow intervene to stabilize the country—an idea he dismissed as unrealistic.
🙅 The Fantasy of a Foreign Saviour
Sowore argued that this culture of "political escapism" has weakened civic engagement, allowing corruption to flourish unchecked while citizens wait for a dramatic, external rescue.
He warned that relying on foreign figures allows Nigerian politicians to duck accountability, using public hopefulness as a shield against scrutiny.
💡 The Electric Analogy That Stung
To drive his point home, Sowore offered a stinging analogy comparing political hope with religious expectation:
“Trump is not coming to rescue Nigeria, just like Jesus hasn’t returned to fix electricity,” he asserted.
Sowore stressed that just as divine intervention has not miraculously rebuilt the nation’s collapsing power sector, foreign governments will not magically reform Nigeria’s complex political system.
🛠️ The Only Solution: Collective Action
The activist emphasized that Nigeria's true national recovery will only come from sustained public pressure, transparent leadership, and the "courageous leadership" of Nigerians themselves.
He urged citizens to abandon the habit of outsourcing their future and confront the failures within their own political framework, demanding competence and transparency from those in office.
❓ WHAT IS YOUR TAKE?
Is Sowore right that Nigerians rely too much on "external saviours," or is the desperate hope for foreign help justified given the current security and economic crises? Should we stop looking abroad and start holding our local leaders more accountable? Share your opinion below! 👇🇳🇬
