Some hundreds of villages in the country have been emptied by bandits.
Bandits by whatever name have taken over people’s ancestral lands
The only thing many villages remember is that the sun rises with deaths and falls with funerals .
When the villagers defend themselves,
the Government will come after them.
The soldiers will arrest and kill those with arms to protect themselves.
Is it not what happens in a failed state?
Is it not shameful that the citizens are helpless.?Is it not possible that the President is unaware as usual.?
Is it not disgusting that when the Government fails to defend the citizens and the citizens decide to defend themselves,
then the Government now comes and kills the citizens?.That is the height of irresponsibility.
Unfortunately some Government trumpeters are telling us that things are better than they were years back.Goodluck to them.
This is why politicians keep recycling themselves from one party to the other.
The youth should be bold enough to retake whatever is left of the country.
For the past few days, a particular politician,who has been very critical of the Government in power ,is now going arround encouraging members of his party to decamp to the party he has been criticizing for years.
I know that this is part of what is discouraging some young people from joining party politics.
But that should not be.Rather it should encourage them to.They must not feel hopeless or helpless.
Our politicians have purposefully decided to jettisson ideology ,hope and vision in politics ,in all the political parties to create room for crosscarpetting.
Those whose fathers introduced crosscarpetting in politics in the 60s, think that we don’t know that it runs in their blood no matter the pretexts.
A country whose political parties lack ideologies, principles and good reward system is doomed.There is no way the issue of cross carpetting can stop.
Political parties are supposed to be built on the ideologies of progressive minded people,
not where party “A” in opposition becomes sub party “B’ in power after a few years.
It is unfortunate that the billions of naira that these politicians looted while in power hardly sustain them out of power for a few years.
They are always in a hurry to crosscarpet to sustain their looting no matter the platform.
MR SHUT FUSE , whose father was a known crosscapetter in the first Republic,should know that he has indeed portrayed himself as a hopeless politician to the upcoming generation.Like Father like son.
Nobody should be surprised ,if it becomes headline news in the next few days.
This country belongs to us all.Let the Government allow her citizens to defend themselves and stop killing them .
All those who have been benefitting from the present mess should remember that
there shall surely be a reckoning day.
