THE CONFUSING TRANSPARENCY OF NIGERIAN POLITICS

Nigeria as a nation is a blessed country filled with gold, milk and honey. Even at that however, our most important blessing lay in our human resources, cultural and bio-diversity, with well over 200 diverse ethnicities. An average nigerian is highly industrous, energetic, hard working, yet, very religiously ungodly. A nigerian, whether muslim, christian or a traditionist, will, at the slightest opportunity identify with his or her religion. In nigeria, a man or woman dressed religiously either in the islamic, christianic or traditional way will naturally be accorded maximum respect in public. On the contrary however, when an average nigerian assumes leadership or a position of authority , the reverse seems to always be the case. We suddenly seems to have forgotten all about the very existence of God the supereme being, our spiritual believe and uprightness. Which all along seems to be what we have always uphold, believed in and live for. This is exactly the case of our present day nigerian political system. A system where corruption is upheld and encouraged in high esteem. A political system where few are rich and many are poor, a system value is no longer attached to her own educational system and it’s products, a system governed by laws and constitutions meant purely for the poor and non-influential, a system where crime and indiscipline is praised with utmost enthusiasm as long as it has some naira and kobo values behind it as a motivating factor. The current political dispensation is gradually coming to an ovoidable utmost end. Our big men and politicians are at it again, running helter skelter. Either trying to get re-elected or looking for a suitable candidate to cover all their loop holes and dirty tracks. THE BIG GUESTIONS are; What happens to the struggles and sacrifies of our fore fathers and past leaders who faught endlessly for the freedom, emacipation and togetherness of our mother-land nigeria? Does our leaders and those in position of authority ever think of the likes of Alhaji Tafawa Balewa, Sir Nnamdi Azikiwe, Chief Obafemi Awolowo. Will they allow all their effort to go in vain? What happen to the sacrifies of our war heroes. The soldiers that faught the nigerian-biafran civil war, those who went for countless peace keeping missions, those who are still battling the nigerian Boko Haram insurgency, all in an attempt to keep the strings of our brotherliness intact? In the face of confusing transparency of nigerian polity, what is the faith of negeria and nigerians after the up coming 2015 general elections?
