WHY SHE {NIGERIA} NEVER BETTER

Our opponents are warms; I saw them in Munich.----Adolpf Hitler

She may never improve. Her governments are always uneducated; always illusionary; like a tribunal of thieves, hardly ever visionary. She was born (formed) with a character of mild, smouldering instability; unreliability. Her politics developed in and with that character. Then it added parasitism to its unstability. It became parasitic, sapping the vitality and livelihood of loyal citizens, breaking the hearts of its people.

Unloyal citizens 'progressed' because they spend the nation in building private, personal empires. They are the government or government-makers. They control(led) the land, almost everything, for their private ends; even ingeniously determining the economic status of loyal citizens, however creative or productive.

Then, again, it progressed (actually retrogressed) into what I may call filicidal cannibalism. It became carnivorous; working to abolish poverty by attempting, in different guises of policies, names, mottoes, slogans and jargons, to abolish the poor; so that the already oversated, over-regaled "few" (who now amuse themselves with founding of NGO's to take care of the poor) would continue to have the good material (even immaterial) things of living exclusively. Feeding the poor to the rich.

In the periods of obasanjoism, shagari-ism, babangidaism et cetera, the government consumed, or wasted the dignity, sufficiency and even life of the pepole. They gradually made honest work fruitless, while rewarding chicanery and criminality, always indirectly anyway; so much, until straightforward souls became an acute rarity in Nigeria. The government fed on the unprivileged while pretending to be feeding the unprivileged.
This reality is illustrated by the fact that some of the greatest Minds, Hearts and Hands we have in contemporary world history are (were) people who "wangled" or "strayed" from this savageland (Africa, Nigeria in particular). They developed further, being or having been recognized in the other societies. Had they remained here, they would have lived and died in wretched nothingness, in frustration. Their struggle to avoid, or be extricated from, ignorance and other conditions of this place that imprison and torture the mind must have beenthwarted.

Were corruption (corrupt living) a sentient being, and could speak, and gets asked about Nigeria...I think it would echo the words Mr Hitler thus: My opponnents are worms; they are worms! I see them swimming in my pool, in the squalid scum of my latrine!

In Nigeria, "warriors" against thievery and illegitimacies (conventionally named corruption) are either antitypical Nigerians (very,very few exist) or "paid actors". Nowadays Nigerians would worship, or better, pray to anything ... for monetary benefits, rather than apply their intelligence, talents and skills in positive creation and production; probably because it doesn't pay. They are creative almost only in lawless ventures. Politcking is one arena here where depraved souls can conveniently do unpatriotic things and be rewarded for them. There are exceptions!(the antitypical Nigerians).

The immediate past government, presided in by the whimsically despotic but sincerely amorous opportunist, Mr.Obasanjo, made sure that people suffer(ed); it worked hard to keep people in ignorance. Mr.Olusegun Obasanjo himself, behind a facade of eco-reforms, built, established and bequeathed (to) the 'land' a most elaborate system of thievery and robbery; direct and by proxies. And for nearly a decade, the bunch of talk-talkng, news-page politicians of his political party, did not produce any untainted visionaries and missionaries in any field of endeavour, upon whose grounds the future could be founded. Nor did they conduce "useful" vision and mission in other citizens. Instead: they, self-mesmerized in egoistic improvidence, gloried in the delusion of almight. They, sadistic in disposition, kept delighting and amusing themselves in the material and immaterial misery in the land, and at the impotent desperation of millions of decent people. Or how can we explain,...how could a government be so stupendously rich, and the people so shockingly, sickeningly poor? Certainly, psychologically blind rulers cannot have, or be in a mission for any vision.

This one (government) under Yarad's presidence came and began making sure that people hope. Realistic endeavours are not entirely framed on hope. There must be tangible or palpable aspects; things one doesn't need hope in order to see and conceptualise. He and his government looks on what people own or hopefully want to own, not on what people are: what I may call psycho-propensity. While indeed, What people are (inclinations of thoughts,feelings and conducts...) matter more than what they import.

People of Yarad's country generally do not want prosperity that means or includes social equity: Responsibilities and Rights and Goodwill by which 'everyone' lives with equitable responsiveness. They want to always 'de-responsibilise' their rights and powers (power without responsibility). And goodwill, goodwill is extremely scarce. Almost everyone looks for advantages to oppress or hoodwink others. The general operative philosophy seems: To grow big, swallow your neighbour. Of course this attitude has some historical roots.

In the past, while other peoples were inquiring into the "ways and actions of nature", the Negro, especially of Central and Western Afi-r(i)-Ka was busy peddling his brethren to foreigners. For centuries, chieftains and mightymen of Africa's Dark-Skin race sold their people away...for mirrors, little pieces of glittering metals, phials of ethanol et cetera...<*>>

Even at the present time, to understand more of the self-retardedness or self-stunting mentality of the Negro, share two cadavers between we negroid people of Nigeria, Afrika, and the non-negroid (caucasic) ones from across the seas. Say to each group: "Do what you freely like with your 'gift'". The Caucasoid would embark on the study of anatomy (and physiology)... The Negroid would embark on fetish ritualism...

Ask the remnants of the subjects of colonial rule...However bad it had been, most of the people would rather revert to that foreign colonial regime. Because with all its evils, that exploitation by foreigners is better, more endurable, than the ones by indigens now. At least they had judicial and law enforcement systems that punished legal (even moral) lawbreakers, and rewarded lawkeepers.

And think of the hypothetical situation where British and Irish people exchange native home territories with Nigerian people, each group retaining original mode of mentation, instrumentation and conduct(values). In the ambience of a generation, this man-made Naija-area of disorder would be enviably orderly and prosperous. If you have first-hand knowledge of typical Nigerians, their ways and actions, you'd be properly shock'd in advance at what London et al shall (have) become: a hopeless Lord-dom of social cruelty, rife with diseased and despairing victims of their "lords"; the lords being anyones with any advantage or means of destruction over others. People who are mild and meek in temperament, and upright in character would almost invariably live by waiting to die in disease and despair. They would hardly get any of the benefits that civilized freedom and governments (civilized society) bestow to civilized individuals, even if they are the greatest constructive contributors to the societal good.
From the grassroots to the treetops, there's so much nonsense in Nigeria, in Nigerians, that any structural or infrastructural reform would be rootless and fruitless. The change must come from within, but it's close to impossibility... There are factors here; factors of retrogression; factors that would never allow or let in socio-economic or socio-political improvement. Call it Nigerian Spirit or the Nnigerian FFfactor. And...The agents of this evil spirit are multiplying in number and in power....A sick one whose disease has symptoms or syndrome of sickness can less difficultly be diagnosed and treated, or cured than one whose great disease manifests symptoms of health.

Like people, like (their) government; a tree bears only its fruits. The state is sick; and the people are even sicker. The thing that's smelling the he-goat is in the he-goat's body.
