IBRAHIM BADAMASI BABANGIDA AND HIS PRETENTIOUS PATRIOTISM
l want to disregard any pretentious patriotism from lbrahim Badamasi Babangida. This is because it will all revolve around the "Army Arrangement" as voiced out by Fela Anikulapo Kuti. lBB should just watch and see and wait until he his called to the law so as to give account for his maladministration. No matter hoiw democratic he presents himself for me it is just a cover up and l do not think he can make Nigerians fool again after he did it maradonically during his adminstration. l view every move of IBB with suspicion as he maradonically wants to come back to the corridors of power and that will be the greatest mistake in Nigeria. IBB should account for his National sins or what l will call "sins against the Nation". Until he does that l tell he will only become an unmitigated disaster and a National catalyst for a corrupt Nigeria. A Leopard cannot change the colour of his skin and so will Babangida never change his maradonic attitude. A fool at forty is a fool forever.

We have reached the cross road of National reconstruction in Nigeria. Nigerians home and abroad can no longer tolerate the system that has submerged us to this socio-economic and political predicament. This has led a high percentage of Nigerians to be subjected to perpetual hardship by some disgruntled and unrepented politicians who have a high taste of greed and a qualitative disgust for lntegral National Development. The time is near when the Nigerian people will act themselves and no longer through their representatives. Our representatives are nothing but political stooges seduced to romance with a corrupt system that will grease their elbows, and forgetting the ideals which they conceived before going into politics.
ReplyDeletePolitics is service, and service to the Nigerian people. Political leaders should show every zeal to make a better life for the Nigerian people who are the bane of the Nigerian economy and if the expectant result of their leaders are not productive, the Nigerian masses have the right to reject such leadership and place another leaders who will serve their interest.
Nigerians have not began to enjoy the basic things of life. For example, we have no water, electricity and a well process communication efficiency to foster our National growth and development as a Nation. This calls for a need to have a revolution to unseat these politicians who flaboyantly extort from the coffers of our economy to their own selfish aggrandizement. ls time for the people to move into the streets with placards and say NO! to our leaders, and telling them we need a change. We need a change that is practicable and pragmatic. We need a change in our roads, we need a change in our hospitals, we need a movement from a semi-primitive society to an advance stage development. There is a need for a revolution in our education system that has been a taunt and daunt of the lnternational community. The recent strike was a shame to our national integrity l still cannot understand how the education system works in Nigeria, and how do students become comfortable with it and not taking on the streets to say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Enough of this mediocrity and complacency on the part of the Nigerian people that has kept us in this socio-economic and political agony.
The Niger Delta problem is not a South - South problem but the problem of the Nigerian people. A problem caused by politicians from both the Federal capital Territory and the representatives of the Niger Delta people. l therefore urge the militant to ask the Odili's, lgbinedions, lboris, Alamasieyha's, Jonathan's etc and all the past leaders of this region of the account of services they rendered to their regions for it takes two to dangle.
Nigerians let us work together and make Nigeria a better place to live in.
