All these amount to misallocation of resources that hamper the potentiality of the state to deliver basic needs and amenities, which in turn, deepens poverty and social injustice.

Most of the developing countries have had post-colonial, authoritarian and politically unstable histories making it seem like the world is devoid of good managers and the world has encouraged this tradition of murdering and getting away with it.

However, this environment is used by politicians especially in the time of an election where they can make a lot of promises but they have no ability to fulfill them. This pattern erodes confidence and fosters a lack of hope and suspicion in the populace.

Deception, sensationalization, and deceit are some of the deceitful political maneuvers that politicians apply to cling on to the people’s power. This is a phenomenon that was developed from their historical, economic and the social set up

we don’t know about you but we know that we feel very offended when a white man especially the famous ones on this platform think it’s okay to put images up of KKK members with white hood and all just to make a political statement.

We don’t need their networks of lies. We aren’t so easily persuaded into their lies like most are. That is how division is formed.

The No Kings movement stands against the glorification of authoritarian displays and the erosion of democratic values. We believe that power resides with the people, not with a singular authority.
