Stop this
Underdevelopment of Nigeria
The heart is deceitful above all things, and
desperately wicked; who can know it? Ignorance of this truly explicit and
indelible word is helping to under-develop Nigeria in this 21st
century. Some of our politicians are best described as political cowards who
speak from two sides of their mouth and act before thinking. Their deeds are underdeveloping
us and therefore worrisome and wicked. They reflect the “Opposite Man” in all
aspects of life. When they talk of democracy they mean dictatorship; when they
speak of detribalization they signify ethnicity and religious fanaticism; when they
say transparency and accountability they indicate secrecy and corruption; when
they discuss competency they imply bad-apprenticeship; when they preach rule of
law they connote rule of terror and impunity: when they shout peace they unlash violence;
when they pronounce security they suggest crime and fear of crime; when they
announce free and fair elections they
saturate the whole place with guns and small arms and light weapons, entice the
youths into political killing, propagate thuggrey, gangsterism and embark on
do-or-die electioneering activities; when they proclaim loyalty they signify
enslavement. But when you call for ideas they threaten and present excuses. We
know why they stand excused! They cannot give what they don’t have. That is the
reason why good people like you must come out to chase the bad people away
through the instruments of ballot box. It is time for the good people of this
country to come together to stop this underdevelopment of Nigeria through
active participation in political activities. Don’t stand aloof; don’t sit on
the fence. Remember, when the righteous rule, the people rejoice.
