Giving her two cents in a series of Tweets, Makinwa said the bloodshed is disturbing and disgusting, however, stomach infrastructure will make some fight for greedy politicians.
Makinwa further said she is tired of praying for Nigeria as he has given Nigerians so much and blessed us so much.
Read her tweets:
“I’ve had mixed emotions all weekend as to the elections, woke up this morning sad for all the lives we lost. This can’t be the Nigeria of our dreams.
“It’s not by force to win at all cost, if the people want you to lead them, it is their choice. If they don’t? It is also their choice. Do not intimidate anyone, Nigeria is not yours.
“If your government is not working, we vote you out, if the incoming does not perform, we vote them out too. Nigerians are tired, some have left seeking a better life outside, let those who believe in it get a fair chance.
“The tribal insults on here, the fighting each other and disrespect for ourselves just shows we are no different from the leadership we complain about daily.
“Ballot box snatching, burning down election materials cos you are dissatisfied it’s not going in your Favor is weak! If you lose, lose with some dignity, I hope we all appreciate Goodluck now…
“My people perish for lack of knowledge”, in the case of Nigeria it is not lack of knowledge but “Poverty”…. Poverty of the mind is the worst kind. God help us all.
“I even get tired of calling God in to our matter as Nigerians, he has given us so much, blessed us so much. Our problem is man made, selfishness, greed, lack of love ❤️
“You think they don’t know? Stomach infrastructure will make them fight for the foolish politician who is chilling at home without a care in the world.
“The bloodshed is disgusting if this can happen in 2019, how ready are we really for the change we crave so bad? It is not by force, if we don’t want you, leave us with the consequence, of who we elect does not do us right we meet again in 4 years and we do the same.
“You think they don’t know? Stomach infrastructure will make them fight for the foolish politician who is chilling at home without a care in the world…”
