I hasten to
submit that what the Fight is all about has little, if anything, to do
with Corruption, Insecurity or Poverty.
If corruption,security and poverty
are the issues,
has the civilised world been able to wipe them out in their national space? What makes anyone think that the Nigerian
political and administrative classes
have the capacity and motivation to exterminate them in our national space? How
could they recoup their electioneering expenses if not through corruption by
its many shades of grey. Surely they can
only recoup through corruption not from the
fixed allowances they receive for example as National Assembly members and office
holders. Who is fooling who? What can
the President only do - no matter the brightness of his screaming integrity - to
effectively cage corruption or
ruthlessly kill it? To succeed,
he sure would need the unflinching support of Legislators and Judges.
What would be the chance that the Legislators
(who have so much catch up to do
balancing their accounts) would give him their support?
What I find at stake
is that majority of Nigerians have been blindfolded even by corruption and are unable to
understand that the fight is all about
the "Soul of Nigeria." Some persons who should know are self interest maximizers, too busy chasing filthy
lucre to care.
As politicians play out the political " Game of Deception"it gets clearer
and clearer by the day that the political gladiators are taking advantage
of the fact that only "one percent of Nigerians think, 4% think that they
think; and 95% would rather die than think" - ( I
don't remember who was author of the conclusion).
What are the Pointers that Politicians are cashing in on the weakness of Nigerians' as Non-Thinkers?
You have to feel the
emptiness floating at electioneering campaigns
In the form of propaganda
which insult the sensibility of the thinking few but receive the support of the people milling
around who have lent themselves to be
blindfolded by the cheap appeal to a
change they do not understand because they
are not able to decipher the emissions as empty propaganda
Is it possible that the fight is over one or all of the
following threatening outcomes of the
election which the opposition would rather
commit suicide than see come to
pass?
1. Implementation of the changes to the structure and processes of governance
based on the agreements reached at the National Conference at first light;
2.Commitment by
Nigerians to the frustration of the aims
and objectives of the OIC Agenda including sustenance of Nigeria's membership.
Is it true that any member country which failed to pay
annual dues for 10 years must cease to be a member and therefore, the opposition is desperate to takeover the political mountain
top of governance to ensure that NIGERIA does not continue to renege on payment of OIC dues as
was the case in the last 6 years and lose membership because the success of the
incumbent Party at the
2015 General Election would give the leadership of the
Party another 4 years and threaten Nigeria's OIC membership through none payment of a total of 10years dues to OIC - an event that would spell technical withdrawal of Nigeria from OIC. membership?
3. The risk associated with the Renewal of
Oil Prospecting Licence ( OPL) and Oil Marketing Licence (OML).
Could it be that the licences would be due for renewal after 20 years in operation, during the
next (2015-2019) tenure of the incumbent
in office; and the chances that the incumbent
President may rework the basis of the
previous awards in other to achieve fairer distribution of the
licences - An act that could threaten
the interest of present award holders.
4. The likely frustration of
the movement to realise "Sharia
or Sword" as National
Constitution Doctrine as opposed to Democracy as Constitutional Doctrine of a
civilised society.
Could the apparent
fear be that the "Grazing Bill" proposed
as the instrument for dipping the Sharia and the Sword into the
Atlantic Ocean may not be tabled? The
wicked Bill has provisions for
(1) dedicated routes from Maiduguri to Portharcourt, from Sokoto
to Lagos/Apapa; and from Nguru through Abuja to Forecados. (2) Grazing Reserves where the Fulani
herdsman stopped to graze his cattle. The Reserve area would be surveyed and
gazetted.
The hidden agenda is that
if the Bill is passed
surreptitiously into law the settler would then have right of abode as citizen with
right to establish an emirate council, and the right to sharia legal system
even in my fathers backyard at my ancestral
home. What subterfuge?
May GOD frustrate the plan of the wicked against the Church
and the Nation.
