Politics And Governance: Pendulum of Seccession: Nigeria Will Die A Natural Death If Her Current Rulers Keep This Tempo – Seyi Oyetunbi | GOVERNMEND
It would be a game over, may be not too soon but definitely someday for Nigerian despots. Take note: even those eating from the rots know the tone of the reality; it’s needless to mention that the country only works for a very few individuals who have garnered surplus wealth for their generations and secured some comforts for themselves at the very expense of the masses. it’s lucid to the blind with no optic power. It would be a game over, history would have happenings on record as it would be the fall of the failing Nigeria with her hegemonic rulers.
I maintain that people like Sowore, Farotimi, Seun Kuti and other revolutionaries are only doing awareness and intimating the nation with accurate prophesies to prepare occupants of Nigeria for the first-coming of what I would describe as a political tempest that would spare no politician with filthy record. The last hope of a sovereign government is the military, when it gets to the point that the only people left on the streets demonstrating are the fathers, mothers, siblings of the military men, it would be a full stop to the lingering imbroglio.
The oppressive system is unsustainable. The rise of the masses will be the fall of those with the thinking that the country will not imbibe a participatory political culture, one that would be a gun to the heads of King makers and the remote controlled rulers at different levels of government and its parastatals.
A lens through which this crop of failed leaders should study that the pregnant cloud won’t pour water this time but necessary uprising is the #EndSARS protest that was like a thriller of what the country is set to face in the almost-here future is because when it was time to loot and vandalise, the masses knew the right places to take care. The masses are not ignorant, may be poor but definitely not dumb. Poverty as a major tool of oppression and subjugation in the hands of the oppressors will morphed to be their greatest undoing. The gap between the rich and the poor in Nigeria, with or without looting from the public is threatening the peace of the rich. A poor by nature is a terror, and that’s clearly understandable.
The secessionists should save their energy. Beyond what they desire, we wouldn’t just be having Oodua Republic and Biafra Republic. Within Oodua Republic, Ondo would ask to be an independent state, even Ijeshaland, a township would want to be treated as a sovereign entity. Biafra would be unsuccessful in capturing major oil producing states in the South-South region as every nation broken out of the supra Nigeria must have seen how juicy it is to control its wealth. But would succession usher any significant developmental change? Obviously no! Nigeria has trained enough thieves for every part of Nigeria to inherit evenly if the country breaks.
Nigeria will die a natural death, for the only people who feel so attached to this ailing Nigeria are the thieves in power and their accomplices at every level of chain of corruption proceeds.
If you leave in a glass house, throw stone at your own peril. These politicians are not creating a safe haven for themselves by deepening hardship for Nigerians. Nigeria is suffering from rulers who have literally eaten security, infrastructure, health care, technology, life supporting amenities, today and tomorrow of the country through an unmitigated corruption. Little wonder why protruding stomach is an identity for them; you can’t consume too much, especially rot and look healthy.
The clock ticks, history beckons, political revolution is imminent. And, it would come as a shock to focused sinisters in power. Nigeria will die a natural, if this ruinous leadership is kept a bit further.
