The Nigerian
public office holders, whether elected or appointed, have in the main shown
that they are self-serving. Each government from history has adopted the
strategy of divide-and-rule. Today, as perfected by the players in our current
democratic venture, government has invested heavily on distraction to now make
it Distract-And-Rule!
From
generation to generation, we have fast become a nation of talkers. Easily
falling for it, we never pass off a chance to say our own on any flying talk
thread, especially if it originates from a person we figure has weight.
So, the
government all over the land is busy dozing off having thrown a few talking
baits to the nation of talkers. The only thing the government does without
prompt is getting their allowances paid and taking holidays abroad.
Now, who
should really be ashamed in this nation more than our President reputed to be a
strong man once upon a time?! He relishes going abroad for holidays on official
and private trips at our expense. He also goes to foreign hospitals for his
health concerns unashamedly ignoring the fact that he is directly indicted for
not working our health system.
Our
government has in it some opportunist loafers who hold sway over most others who might mean well for the land and they prey on the
backwardness they have continually fostered by their negligence to spend and
execute development projects in Education, in Health, in Power, in Roads, in
Water, in Industry and the likes.
For the fact
that they only have tenure of 8 years at most, they get on board without a
sense of mission. Bent on just killing time until the next Administration comes,
they pocket as much of the budgeted funds for growing our various impactful
sectors and shoo away the majority of us who have become addicted to attempting
to talk the universe into correction, by systematically and regularly
sponsoring controversial conversation baits.
Baits such
as Social Media Control, Hate Speech and now, Election Violence Punishment
bills have been flown to us lately. Moreover, our sworn TALKERS jump on them
all raving like wildfire, while government dozes on doing nothing significant
about the real issues in the land to the despair of the voiceless few who know
the deal going down.
The truth
and the only truth is that the State of Nigeria already has statutes and laws
to deal with all these known infractions. It is a big shame that our Lawmakers
are showing themselves not to know the laws in the land. They might be thinking
it is smart and probably easier to reinvent the law. We have generally seen
that the bane of this generation is assuming that everything started with
them, before them there was nothing! A nation that has Lawmakers most of whom
do not want to be bothered to study and research is doomed. The rabbles have
made it into the engine room of the nation; will there ever be smooth sailing
at this?
Please, Baba
Obasanjo, Baba Badamosi Babangida, Baba President Mohammadu Buhari, Professor
Wole Soyinka, Mr Olisa Agbakoba, Mr Femi Falana what will become of our land
when the dust settles? Look well well, my esteemed sirs, even I can see the
handwriting in the air!
May God be
glorified and may Nigeria live long!
I have often wondered if the hell let loose on Nigeria internally from all spheres has nothing to do with our rejecting the Gay Marriage Bill under the Senate Presidency of Hon David Mark? Am just wondering! The Gay Nations will stop at nothing to let one know that they run the world! Nigerians, who are we today? Do we have the guts to stand for our beliefs?
