The Noticeable Damage

 It is a known fact that knowledge and ignorance are pole apart.

Ignorance revolves around gullibility and susceptibility to half-truths.

This is the major reason why rationale minds seek knowledge to arrive at sound judgment.

It is very sad that those-in-charge are yet to translate the hopes of millions of Nigerians into reality, rather the reckless plunder of the national treasury has continued unhindered.

Indeed, the promises made by today’s political office holders are not hinged on abiding faith in responsible behavior and goal-oriented pursuits.

 

Everywhere, the people are cursing these political office holders, who have overtime, covertly annexed their landed properties; in connivance with willing public servants, fraudulent legal practitioners and ignorant and illiterate residents in several communities.

Non-indigenes are prominent in this regard.

This remains unreported.

The noticeable damage, the political office holders have done in the states of the federation are visible in public places, while phone theft, extortion and exploitation are common place in the markets.

Violence as a feature of democracy

The indices, are indeed frightening, the country has been on a downward slope in almost every sphere of national life.

 Unreliable health facilities, the prohibitive prices of foodstuff and beyond-the-reach cost of transportation have become nightmares for Nigerians.

Of worry, is the endemic and systemic corruption in the polity.

In Niccolo Machiavelli’s view, ‘’ the impression that one gets of a ruler and his brain is from seeing the men he has about him.’’

Of course, Nigerians are very concerned about the level of insecurity and constant threat to lives and property.

Sadly, the nation seems to have lost count of the various communal strife and state-sponsored genocide that have taken place over the past three years.

Really, no amount of propaganda, either by the establishment or its praise singers can conceal unmitigated disaster to the socio-economic process and the miserable state of affairs.

Take note, the investment in violence in reaping bounteous dividend.

Violence has become the most identifiable feature defining this present administration.

Interestingly, while the positive fruits of democracy are scanty, the negative and rotten fruits are in abundance.

Indeed, without adequate security the judiciary can never be confident.

However, for the judiciary to be efficient and effective, it should be made to be confident not corrupt.

The country’s predatory political system of mediocrity, arrogance and wickedness continues itself and create its own brigade of enemies.
