“To Fix Nigeria Now, Is A Task That Must Be Done.”
It saddens me when I watch and or see our leaders (better
known as misleaders) on the screen and print media, ludicrously trying to deny
being corrupt. They keep acting the Ostrich that buries its head in the sand,
and believes that no one is seeing it. In their gullibility, they fail to
appreciate that corruption isn’t a ghost, but as physical as they come. First
of all, aren’t some unfortunate employees, who prepare the fake vouchers to
facilitate the looting/s? Second of all, aren’t some unfortunate employees who
receive and pay all bribes into their various accounts? Third of all, aren’t
some unfortunate humans who build their private vaults and state-of-the-art
properties? Why then in the midst of all these, do they think their secrets are
safe?
My dear looters, corrupt leaders, heartless administrators
and law enforcement agents, you can fix yourselves and Nigeria, by living in
that SOBER MOMENTS a little longer. I am talking about those moments when you
go to receive a friend/relative who had earlier flown abroad in first class,
but now being delivered to you as cargo. Those moments before a coffin is
covered, when you look at the corpse and don’t see it wearing that one-in-town expensive
wedding ring, the diamond rimmed gold wrist watch and ostrich leather shoes.
And suddenly, you remember that neither you nor members of his or her family
know some of his or her bank accounts. Though you have always mouthed the fact
naked you were born, and you can’t take anything with you; you realize how much
you have failed to live it.
While it is a known fact that all humans do suffer from
temporary/momentary insanity, when that period becomes longer, it graduates to
INSANITY proper; at which stage you are unable to differentiate between a NEED
and a WANT; and that is when you would have lost the ability to live in those
SOBER MOMENTS. You lose the ability to reflect, and speedily lose the ability
to rationalize. That is when you begin to pick and hoard each and everything, irrespective
of their usefulness to you; just like the insane does. And falsehood becomes a
norm with you. Your addictions begin to increase, and you start crying to
sleep. All the ghosts of the masses that you have hurt begin to haunt you, the
nightmares refuse to go away, and you begin to wish you were dead like your
friends and collaborators.
In Part Three, we shall discuss your THERAPY.
