What is the nature of this life of ours? Let us face it: The lives of average Nigerians are miserable, labourious and short. People are born; they are given just as much food as will keep the breath in their bodies. Most people in Nigeria do not know the meaning of happiness and leisure. Freedom and comfortable life become elusive.
The life of average Nigerians is misery and slavery and it looks as if nature has created man to suffer. The soil of Nigeria is fertile and the ground can produce more than enough for the living. People suffer here in Nigeria because nearly the whole of the products on our labour is stolen from us by those who forcefully claimed they are in charge. Most of our problem is summed up in a single word “the political ruler” they are the only creature that consume without producing. They only set people to work, forces them to work and seizes their produce, all the people have in return of these is bare “ration and a stall”.
When we as a country focus more on accelerated development of our land, we will spend less time in future on amnesty as is being presently done as if the people granted amnesty are political prisoners. By definition, amnesty is an act of pardon by a legislative authority which effaces not merely a punishment inflicted but the cause of it as well so that no fresh proceedings can be instituted. What the Niger Delta needs in addition to the current ceasefire and disarmament is the whole-scale development of the area.
A system that permits the unjust killings of our people, only to turn around later to compensate the families of those killed, places no value on human life.
The tyrant political rulers do not allow the miserable lives of the people to reach their natural span; they killed people through bad roads, poor health and medical services, lack of security, poverty, lack of quality education, corruption and what have you. Those who served the nation with all their strength and power and cannot work again or produce are sent to the grave when they are struggling to get their entitlement, gratuity, and pension.
I came up with a write up early this year, it sound prophetic, and little did I know that my aspiration and dream will be fulfill so soon. Read part of the lines……..
The panacea to the tyranny of the political ruler is “Rebellion” or Revolution, how do I mean, the revolution that we need is the one that will make us appreciate the magnitude of our problems and the urgent need for solutions. It is such a revolution of mind that changed Singapore from poor filthy country into a global business hub. Change in our way of life, we should stop accepting anything they throw at us, we must make them accountable, tell them they are our servants, they must listen to us and do what we want and not what they want, we must let them know we have what it take to change any government that is not producing and we must be proactive at it. I don’t know when it will come but very sure sooner or later, it will come and justice will be done. We need to teach our children in school and pass the message of Revolutionary change to them, so that when we are old they can carry on the struggle until victory is won. I want all Nigerians to be firm and resolute and not be discouraged by the wiles of the tyrant men in power.
In order to avert this embarrassing situation - this inglorious march into the precipice of national decline and disintegration - Nigerians from all walks of life must rise with courage and determination to sack our purposeless and clueless undertakers from the seat of power. IT IS TIME TO TAKE OVER.
The assignment is daunting but it is doable. In spite of the recklessness and discouraging tactics of political jobbers, it is time to rise up and build.
