Why Nigerians should be concerned that Nigeria is never going to heal or mend the way we are going: To your tent O Israel!!!!
If you don’t believe me, I refer you to go watch the travails of Gbenga Daniel, the former Governor of Ogun State for 8 years and now the Senator representing Ogun East as a Senator in Abuja as brilliantly and eloquently narrated by the most authentic and credible Social Media Podcast in Nigeria which is affiliated to the premier University of Ibadan and anchored by a genius and patriotic reporter named Olayiwola Alaga
I express this fear in a country where the Judiciary, the leading Politicians, the traditional rulers and members of the 4th Estate of the Realm and above all Christian and Muslim leaders across the board starting with the Bishops and the Sultan and powerful Clerics like the Chief Imam of Kaula in Senegal and the moral equivalent of the Pope and most General Overseers with huge followership can no longer be fully trusted because they all lie and cheat.
They all cover up crimes and share all of the worst character profiles of Politicians described with clarity and precision by Olayiwola Alaga in his latest release on YouTube on the travails of Gbenga Daniel of Ogun State.
Politics like all other Occupationa and Professions in Nigeria have metamorphosed into a family Business in Nigeria up to Ambassadorial level.
You are in it for life once you get into it and some can kill to keep what they have.
If you have money in Nigeria. It doesn’t mater how you make that money and how you come upon it and your character profiles and history and track record, you can be President of Nigeria, Governors and be voted to the highest office in the Land and be nominated to run for the Pope in Nigeria.
I daily watch Arise TV Talkshow anchored by Orji Okpe, and her team of very brilliant and eloquent colleagues led by Reuben Abati. I watch other Talkshows in Nigeria and I come to this conclusion based on all of my assessments.
Rigging at all levels has become a national pastime and part of the DNA of Nigerians everywhere you look in the nook and corners of Nigeria.
The only surviving exception in our royal traditional institution is arguably in Edo State and arguably in the promotional system of selecting the Olubadan of Ibadan.
In other places in Nigeria, any individual with plenty of wealth and influence and clout can be anything he wants to be in Nigeria if he is filthy-rich and if he or she is well connected.
More and more psychofants coming out all over Nigeria singing the praise of individual s they want to put in office and calling them the only Messiah and using the Social Media to promote and sell such candidates and to mislead the general public. This observation is not limited to only a segment of Nigeria. It is has become a national malaise and an incurable Cancer.
It is happening today in by far the richest states in Nigeria like Lagos, Kano, Sokoto, Ogun and Rivers State to mention a few.
There are two Emirs of Kano right now and there could be two Awujales in Ijebu Ode, pretty soon, if care is not taken
Nigeria is on a slippery slope to becoming a one Party Mockery of Democracy to borrow a cliche from Rufai Oseni of Arise TV talkshow of Nigeria.
I rest my case.
