FROM POLITICIANS TO THE PEOPLE (THE TRUMP WAY)
FROM POLITICIANS TO THE
PEOPLE (THE TRUMP WAY)
The change of leadership which took a
new dimension started right from Africa (specifically Nigeria) and then
diffused into the world. With all the political mind games, pretense and
blackmail, the set-ups and money thrown around to turn the tide to favor either
those in power or the most wealthy or influential.
The situation that ensued from the
politics of Nigerian before and during the 2015 general election beginning from
the lobbying, interests, doggedness and steadfastness in the face of
challenges. Nigeria witnessed an election highly cantered on tribal and
religious lines. A situation where the incumbent throw money around just to
demean or bring their opponent down with cheap blackmails and intimidation.
Imagine a Retired General been
ridiculed on the pages of newspaper and been ordered to premeditated debates
whose modul operandi has been determined by the ruling class. People who have
contested elections severally and screened to be eligible were been subjected
to their boys antics just to bring them to disrepute. Rather than brand their
paymasters, they resulted to tantrums and newspaper crucifixion and maneuver.
Such was the case in America.one
could see how Obama choked so many cases brought against his party candidate
just to ensure he stamped his authority as the president of America and
guarantee his party by hook or by crook win the election. They swayed the
people both on opinion, personality and even race. They went as far as to
conscientizing the blacks that the rival who is Donald Trump is a racist so as
to discredit Trump in the eye of the electorates.
One thing I learnt from the whole
American scenario is that when the people are ready to get back power from the
politicians, they do without war or crisis. Trump played their cards for the
ruling class and they were shocked by the victory he got. Little wonder to
still ridicule the so highly exalted office of the United States president, they
opted to call for recounting and blackmails claiming Russia tempered with their
cyberspace and when they discovered they can no longer sway the citizens,they
deviced a new strategy by protesting to
present President Trump as a minority candidate who lacks the backing of
Americans. The game is on! The heat is on!!

NIGERIA TODAY
NIGERIA TODAY
SOME YEARS
BACK NIGERIA WAS TAGGED THE GIANT OF AFRICA NOT BECAUSE OF HER CREATIVITY BUT
BECAUSE OF ITS ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE TO THE WORLD WHICH IS SEEN IN HER MAJOR
COMMODITY “’CRUDE OIL’’. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS SO BLESSED COUNTRY HAS ABOUT 87%
OF HER CITIZENRY WALLOWING IN ABJECT POVERTY. LEADERS WERE NOW KNOW BY THE KIND
OF CARS, AFFLUENCE AND ILL-GOTTEN WEALTH WHICH THEY PARADE AND USE IN
INTIMIDATING ANYONE WHO QUESTIONS THEIR ACTIVITIES.SOON IT GOT TO A HEIGHT IN A
NATION AS OURS THAT FOR YOU TO ASCEND TO POLITICAL POWER YOU MUST BE SOMEONE
WHO CAN CHURN OUT HUGE SUMS OF MONEY TO BRIBE THE SO-CALLED HIGH AND MIGHTY.
IT GOT TO A
POINT THAT FOR ONE TO HOLD POLITICAL POSITION,HE MUST BE A KILLER OR MAIMER.THE
RULING CLASS TOOK EVERYTHING FROM THE PEASANT ONES AT HOME RANGING FROM BASIC
AMENITIES WHICH OUGHT TO BE THEIR BASIC RIGHT TO THEIR FREEDOM,EDUCATION BECAME
SO EXPENSIVE AND FOOD REMAINED A MIRAGE TO THE COMMON MAN.
ONE MAY ASK
.WHERE DID WE GET IT WRONG AS A PEOPLE?IT DID NOT START TODAY.LET ME TAKE YOU
ABACK TO SOME LINES IN THE INDEPENDENCE SPEECH BY THE PRIME MINISTER TAFAWA
BALEWA WHO RECEIVED LEADERSHIP SYMBOLS
OF OUR COUNTRY WHEN DECLARED.
‘’TODAY IS INDEPENDENCE DAY.THE FIRST OF
OCTOBER 1960 IS THE DATE TO WHICH FOR TWO YEARS,NIGERIANS HAS BEEN EAGERLY
LOOKING FORWARD.AT LAST,OUR GREAT DAY HAS ARRIVED AND NIGERIA IS NOW INDEED AN
INDEPENDENT SOVEREIGN NATION……. AND IT GIVES ME STRENGTH AND COURAGE AS I
DEDICATE MY LIFE TO THE SERVICE OF OUR COUNTRY…………IT IS ALL THE WONDERFUL BECAUSE
WE HAVE BEEN COMPELLED TO WATCH ONE COUNTRY AFTER ANOTHER OVERTAKING US ON THE
ROAD WHEN WE HAD SO NEARLY REACHED OUR GOAL………………IT HAS BEEN THOROUGH AND
NIGERIA NOW STANDS BUILT UPON FIRM FOUNDATIONS………..WE ,THE ELECTED
REPRESENTATIVES OF THE PEOPLE OF NIGERIA,CONCENTRATED ON PROVING THAT WE WERE
FULLY CAPABLE OF MANAGING OUR OWN AFFAIRS BOTH INTERNALLY AND AS A
NATION.HOWEVER,WE WERE NOT TO BE ALLOWED THE SELFISH LUXURY OF FOCUSING OUR
INTERESTS ON OUR OWN HOMES………THIS IS A GREAT COUNTRY WHICH HAS NOW EMERGED
WITHOUT BITTERNESS AND BLOODSHED,FINDS THAT SHE MUST AT ONCE BE READY TO DEAL
WITH GRAVE INTERNATIONAL ISSUES…………..WE ARE CALLED UPON IMMEDIATELY TO SHOW
THAT OUR CLAIMS TO RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT ARE WELL-FOUNDED.....’’
NOW LETS TRY
TO DISSECT THE WORDS OF THE THEN PRIME MINISTER WHO RECEIVED OUR SYMBOL OF
INDEPENDENCE FROM THE QUEEN FIRST HAND.
‘’……AT LAST, OUR GREAT DAY HAS
ARRIVED AND NIGERIA IS NOW INDEED AN
INDEPENDENT SOVEREIGN NATION’’.
CAN ONE NOT
SAY THAT NIGERIA GAINED INDEPENDENCE BUT LACKED SOVEREIGNTY SINCE THE NIGERIAN
LEADERS COULD NOT SUSTAIN NOR IMPROVE THE NATION THAT WAS HANDED THEM?IN NOT A
LONG TIME AFTER INDEPENDENCE,THEIR GREED,SCHEMING FOR POWER GOT EXPOSED AND IN
NOT LES THAN 6(SIX) YEARS,THERE WAS A COUP LED BY MAJ. GEN. AGUIYI IRONSI.
