"A man can't ride your back unless it's bent"- Martins Luther King Jr. In so many years that the lord has enabled us, we have learn't alot, particularly about power and politics of power about freedom and the battles for freedom, about the people and the indolence that keeps a people down.
The Linchpin of the constitution in every constitution democracy is the phraseology WE THE PEOPLE, it holds an incontrovertible message, that power belongs to the people, that governance and leadership must be for the common good, that every constituted authority deives its life and essence from the people, and that the social contract theorem which is the bedrock of representative governance retains power with the people.
However, like Esau, we have gambled away our birthright. The game and the gamblers, are evidently the most suiting normative for the theatrics that define the Nigerian political amphitheatre. Since 1960, but for a few patriotic and progressive leaders, our nation appears accursed, we have had thieves, looters and Godless demagogues who superintend this nation.
We have witnessed successive regimes and administrations superintended by soulless men, over the years, we lost it because we refused to etch a culture of check and balance on our corporate canvass, electing occasional interventions over organic control.
We have become subjects and beggars, we have acquiesced to a seemingly distinct equilibria albeit in disequilibrium, it is about the POLITICAL CLASS and the ORDINARY PEOPLE, about masters and servants, we should worry less however, to every game is an endgame.
RPI.....Rethink, Rebirth, Rebuild.
