POLITICS & GOVERNANCE (113)

Though you soar like the eagle
    and make your nest among the stars,
    from there I will bring you down,”
declares the Lord.
“If thieves came to you,
    if robbers in the night—
oh, what a disaster awaits you!—
    would they not steal only as much as they wanted?
If grape pickers came to you,
    would they not leave a few grapes?
But how Esau will be ransacked,
    his hidden treasures pillaged!

- Obadiah 1:4-6

 

“Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber.”

  • John 10:1.

The Abandonment of National Nationalism and the Triumph of Ethnic Nationalism

 

Reading: Nigeria’s national morality barometer is very dry right now.

 

Still troubled by the aftermaths of the February 25th, 2023 Presidential Election as conducted by the Nigerian Electoral Commission (NEC not INEC), eventuating in the swearing in of a notorious criminal as the rower/coxswain of the National boat NIGERIYANA, JOHN ODEY ADUMA, pondering on where the national boat is heading right now, including where we are now as a people and nation, decries not only the hijacking of governmental spaces by the Agberos in Government (AIG) now promoting streeting justice, philosophy and jurisprudence, but the emergent nativist press in Nigeria, cultural and political nativists who are now and have been promoting and ravenously spreading the worst type of bestial and monstrous bigotry. And in his scholarly dissection of their highly nativized and agberoic ideology, he exposes their nativism thus: Out of my ethnic nationality (tribe), region or zone, always something good, but out of the others – the other ethnic nationalities (tribes) and regions or zones, always something bad.

In pondering over the happenings in Nigeria, especially the events of the recent past as it concerns the bestial conduct and the monstrous outcome of the February 25th, 2023, Presidential Election, JOHN ODEY ADUMA writes that with all sense of responsibility, there has never been a time in all his born years that he has so groaned prophetically and in the spirit as now.

And in his declaration of the certainty of one thing, Mr Aduma concludes that whilst a person can have their say and judgement, it is in fact, God that has the final say and (judgment) verdict.

He thus reasons that the Almighty God will validate the just and overrule the rule (judgement) of man. Happy reading but be reflective and true to conscience and yourself.

"…the Impending Political Exothermicism and Endothermicism

Turning and turning in the widening gyre   

The falcon cannot hear the falconer;

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere   

The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

The best lack all conviction, while the worst   

Are full of passionate intensity."

  • William Butler Yeats.

 

“Whilst Apostles of Amoda Ogunlere of Iragbiji in Osun State busy themselves advancing the gospel of Tinubu Crow, Agberocrazy and Omonileism, humiliating, maiming and killing those they have labelled “enemies” and “aliens”, especially Nigerian citizens of Ndigbo extraction and beating war drums, all former Heads of State and Presidents of Nigeria (General Yakubu Gowon, General Olusegun Obasanjo, General Ibrahim Gbadamosi Babangida, General Abdulsalami Abubakar,  Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, and the incumbent at whom this SOS of mine is primarily directed, must take this SOS of mine as a wakeup call as the nation once again, is just a few yards away from Roads 1962  and 1966.”

The Poet

There’s now a proverb in all Nigeria: First deconfluence.”

  • John Odey Aduma.

 

To live and to die here,

either naturally or of some worldly causes,

to be together and not to separate,

to unite and not to divide,

to abound and never lack,

to rejoice and not to mourn,

to be happy and not to be saddened,

to grow and not to decrease,

to bloom and not to dry up,

to advance and not to retreat,

to multiply and not to depopulate,

to build and not to destroy,

to build up and never tear down one another,

to pull up and not to pull down,

to agree to disagree, and to disagree to agree,

not making oneself a bystander in the Nigerian affairs

but standing up for the nation in all things aimed

at justice and fair play

and not some of the things,

and never resorting to ethnicity –

clannism, provincialism, religiosity, bigotry,

ethnic irridentism, nepotism and unfavourable

treatments of the other citizens nor compromising

national ethics, values, standards, integrity,

but upholding and respecting national institutions

and obeying the laws of the land,

applying competitive performance,

rather than hereditary privilege in all national

appointments and not resorting

to war through (our) deeds and misdeeds,

to have a breathing space and not a shrinking space,

to progress and not to retrogress or regress,

to excel and never to fail,

to be victorious and never to be vanquished,

to be above and never to be beneath,

to be the head and not the tail,

to lead and not to take the back seat,

to keep on keeping on and never to give up,

to be put in mansions/castles

and not to be bagged in body bags,

to bless and not to curse,

to be blessed and not to be cursed,

to enjoy the fatness of the land

flowing with milk and honey,

to sow and to harvest,

to live together and not to scatter,

to love and not to hate.

 

God gave us this country as co-equal,

co-founder, co-joiner and not as masters and slaves,

to live wherever we choose in this our God’s beloved nation,

to walk together, work together

for the betterment of our country,

to prosper together and share with

the poor and the needy in our midst.

 

God has given us this land to till,

to plough and reap its superabundance,

and not to leave it fallow and die of famine without food,

to develop and not to retrogress,

to be free and not to be enslaved,

to trust one another and not fear and distrust one another,

to live and let live and not to be constantly

hounded as if we were preys in the jungle,

to give and take and not to be selfish and greedy,

to share equally all of its superabundance

and not for the few and their multi-national collaborators to plunder,

and take as their own all of its resources and wealth.

 

God gave us this land for the many and all; and not for the few.

God gave this country to all Nigerians,

and not some Nigerians nor a few Nigerians, but to all Nigerians.

God gave us this nation that all Nigerians might be equal

and not that some may be more equal than the others.

God gave us this nation to live together in peace

and harmony with one another,

and not to kill and devour one another,

nor for some to carry others in body bags nor for “blood

of dogs and baboons” to flow ceaselessly.

 

God gave us this country

to dissect, analyse, dialogue and to talk over our national problems,

argue and agree to disagree, concede and compromise,

and arrive at a conclusion that will be nationally

beneficial to all the Nigerian citizens – the stakeholders.

God gave us this Republic to build a nation of inclusivity,

and not a nation of exclusivity, where a few feeds fat on the sweat of others.

 

God gave us this Democracy

to be liberated and not live in perpetual slavery and suffering,

to abound and not lack

So that when we sleep at night our sleep shall be sweet

and not have our homes besieged and petrol poured

over our houses and be burnt all with our families inside

by the rampaging stick-wielding and AK-47-carrying

Philistines and night marauders in our midst.

 

God gave us this land to have a sense of belonging

and not to feel perpetually excluded and cut off.

God gave us this political kingdom to thrive, multiply,

and rule the world and not as a fiefdom nor a vassal

for the lords from the East and Futa Toro

to enslave and keep us perpetually backward,

so citizens retire to sleep hungry,

whilst others eat and throw away.

 

God gave us this country to celebrate ourselves

as Nigerians and our diversity and to be celebrated by

all the nations around us and all the world, and all humanity,

and not to be scorned, spat upon, killed, maimed and destroyed,

and afterwards be treated like a social pariah.

And just as no roses without thorns,

to enjoy peace and tranquillity

as well as troubles and chaos –

the bad, the worst, the good and the terrible

as in the colour of the confluenced Niger and Benue.

 

God gave us this country to ensure every Nigerian receives their

just share of the inheritance and entitlement of our Commonwealth

and not for some to remain perpetually as scavengers foraging crumbs at the country’s dump sites.

God gave us this country to serve and be served.

 

God gave us this political kingdom of ours to enrich and not to impoverish, to develop, blossom and flourish

and not to be in famine of Biblical proportion always

and die for lack of food,

to build an egalitarian society of fraternal proximity

and **kwenskwently attain nationhood,

to glory and care for one another,

and not to be greedy and selfish,

to worship Him in this land

and not any other gods or goddesses elsewhere.

Nor any persons nor fellow human beings.

And in this home of giants, we are created equal,

and not for anyone to dominate us perpetually,

and afterwards become filled with “Born to Rule” Mentality (BRM).

Thus, we are all here to live and let live:

All here to co-exist;

All here to love and be loved;

All here to share;

All here to be at peace with one another;

All here to grow, advance and prosper;

And all here to flourish and bloom.

“BE A BEACON OF HOPE IN THE WORLD….” EVERY YOUTH WORKER’S COMPANION

 

COMMENT BY MR CHRIS HOBBS, AN EX- BRITISH POLICE OFFICER ABOUT “BE A BEACON OF HOPE IN THE WORLD: A MESSAGE TO YOUNG BRITAIN: 

 

“I think your book is excellent. In an ideal world, that book should be given to every head-teacher in the country. If I were a head I'd pick three messages every week and display them prominently, say in the entrance and /or assembly hall so every pupil could see them.  

Congratulations

A DISSECTION OF GLOBAL YOUTH VIOLENCE & ZERO YOUTH MORALITY

THE BLURB

Why does one youngster stab another with a knife which they will never, ever dare to stab themselves with? Why are our young people killing themselves without thinking of the pains and sorrow such barbarism and bestiality will leave their loved ones with for the rest of their lives? Why do some young persons - members of the same community prey on one another with such jungle-like ferocity in the nation’s cities? Why, why are there now so many of such gruesome, purposeless, wicked and unwarranted killings in the nation’s cities as if Britain is now a land that devours its children? More worrisome is the fact that when they are hacked to death so young, what happens to their dreams, visions, goals and aspirations?

Heart-rending as these painful questions are, Be A Beacon of Hope in the World: A Message to Young Britain does not attempt to offer answers to these puzzles arising from the untimely deaths of Britain’s children through knifings. However, it seeks to act as a guidepost, compass and a Sat Nav to point young persons in the direction of the good way and on the path of civility, decency, common sense, humaneness and universal altruism, whereupon they are expected to have respect, first for themselves, for others and for all of life’s forms. Therefore, let the alarm bell which this book has triggered off to warn all young persons in Britain and the world over that to live in the fast lane is to die young, reverberate through the vista of time.

BOLA AHMED TINUBU, PASTOR-HAJIA REMI TINUBU & APC, “I hate, I despise your feasts, and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies. Even though you offer me your burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them; and the peace offerings of your fattened animals, I will not look upon them. Take away from me the noise of your songs; to the melody of your harps I will not listen. But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream,” Amos 5:21-24.

And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:

When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.”

- Joshua 7:20-21

“Be sure your sin will find you out.”

  • Numbers 32:23

 

Another faltering step of a political BAT and rugologist…. third term through the front door!

Whoever is caught with the devoted things shall be destroyed by fire, along with all that belongs to him. He has violated the covenant of the Lord and has done an outrageous thing in Israel!  ……They are hidden in the ground inside my tent, with the silver underneath.”

  • Joshua 7:15-20.

 

A tainted President cannot be my President,

A ‘President-elect’ with many question marks on his head

cannot be my President;

A ‘President-elect’ with such an unparalleled level

of reputational deficit cannot be my President;

A Bullion Van President cannot be my President.

Iscariot of Iragbiji and Barabbas of Bourdillon cannot be my President,

A vagabond and a wayfarer can never be my President,

A man of no fixed address can never be my President,

A self-proclaimed godfather turning himself

to God cannot be my President;
