The war for the heart and soul of our country today is a tragic and sad reality, one that we cannot ignore as spectators without betraying the very cause and greatness of the Nigerian dream, without denying our very heritage and our political ideals that speaks to us in the name of freedom, democratic ideals, and good governance.
It is pertinent and important to ask if the interests and yearnings of the average Nigerians, the poor and needy, the destitute and vulnerable, the old and young ,the vulnerable are served by being neutral on-lookers or we are somehow complicit in the rape of the nation by the official political class represented by the PDP,ACN,CDC and other politicians who are fellow partakers, in full accord with technocrats,bankers who assist in laundering looted proceeds and grant nebulous and questionable loans and overdrafts to corrupt government officials.
Are we championing the interests of the average nigerians or again somehow complicit in the rape of the nation by fifth columnists,political jobbers and briefcase contractors who litter the corridors of Aso rock, kow-towing to the government officials in power and their international collaborators,or we are registering our patriotism and fevor for change by intervention to support our great country, mobilization and a holistic approach with a view to working in concert to raise the sleeping behemoth called Nigeria and raise it to its ultimate potential.
We as nigerians both home and away have naturally been selected,and the responsibility thrust upon us by virtue of our birth and citizenship to reform the country which represent west Africa as the largest and most populous nation. A nation regarded and viewed in high esteem within and outside the african continent.we are thrust and burdened with the responsibility of championing the nobel cause of liberty, peace and justice, so generous and heroic which generations unborn will be eminently proud of.
The reply to this cannot be vague or unclear for those of us, crusaders both moral and political who have a genuine love for our country. Where a genuine love and understanding of the peculiar problem of this nation is resident, because true to the founding ideals of this great country, and the ideals by our founding fathers abubakar tafawa balewa,nnamdi azikiwe and obafemi awolowo. we believe the ultimate level of a national re awakening cannot be over taken without getting to it first.
This is the reason why i strongly believe the class struggle is a nebulous concept and an empty assertion, not of major importance at this time and a distraction, up until the hydra headed monster, the proverbial medusa of Greek mythology/fable called tribalism and credible political leadership and a truly independent Inec,and overhauled electorate est. has been achieved.Untill every Nigerian of every ethnicity,age,religious affiliation has been integrated within the country’s natural borders and the Question of nationality resolved to mutual agreement, the historical climate and the fragile umbilical cord joining us all together as Nigerians have been strengthened then, the necessity for a normal developmental initiative, schemes of the class movement, and the progress, reform and ultimate victory for the ideas which inspire our individual and collective patriotic and working class zeal and fevor.
The success of the Ghana presidential elections with minimal violence, devoid of rigging, ballot box snatching,the more recent Arab springs in the Middle East est means the renewed victory and political upheaval is catalyst for the re- formation of a new West African political climate, the re- enforcement of the cause of reaction, deepening of true democracy in these countries, and a catalyst for the Nigerian government and political class to rise up from the mire of the continuous perpetuation and consolidation of the dark forces of militaristic and feudal political corruption and authoritarianisms which has brought the present catastrophe upon our country.
This in most likelihood if things continue this way will continually replicate itself physically and psychologically in the psyche of the average nigerian before finally producing a rise of the average Nigerian to rescue their country from the political marauders who have brought along with their continuous rape of the country sorrow, tears and blood for the poor and vulnerable. while we stand aside and watch to use a line from Bob marley's song have been instrumental in nigerians being battered,discouraged,held back and taken advantage of and cheated on their march towards the conquest of their own political and economic emancipation.
Not rising up in defence of good men and women children , means the evil ones will reign in terror without any challenge in injustice. True moral and political crusaders with a genuine love of our country can have no choice as to what we must do, all these who wish for a better and greater nation, a better and brighter tomorrow for our born and unborn children, a better future for the average Nigerian man and woman, child who are struggling against the might of the corrupt oligarch,political class holding our country by the jugular, and believers and supporters of social and political revolution for the fraternity and unity of all Nigerians must join and uphold this credible cause. we must force our political class to either stop dishonouring us, raping and destroying our country or leave office. we must allocate tasks and prepare for the dawn of a new awakening.
Ps; these are my personal views but i appreciate any dissenting opinions thanks
