augean stables
there’s no school in the world where you learn to be president, governor, councillor;
even university professors are not the chancellors so i am here to counsel us
about the state of the nation, about the use of allocation
about the economic inflation and security inoperation
about everything we owe our people who are physically, politically, economically, historically
disenfranchised, commonised, marginalised…
the same mechanism that gets ballot boxes to rural communities
should be deployed to get infrastructure and opportunities to same constituencies
but the sad reality is:
before we extend an iv to the masses
we first give to you & i, after ii, iii, iv
four years!
so for years, we have been covered with the fur of underdevelopment
so yes!
like fungi; different seeds and same crops
sirens and leatherprops
khaki and flip flops
bulletproofs and tank tops
halleluyah and plantation boys singing praises
but all i see around me are black faces
2 faces pretending to be innocent
while their dibia faze out quietly when it is time to lend their voices
all of us here are culprits
some were recruited and funded
some aided and abetted
it’s not to be debated the fact that we’re baited by corruption
and inundated by the poisons of the system
if you were the governor would you do any better?
already we know
the reason you dey para now be say dem never sort you out
if e reach your turn, you go turn become the sellout
youths are out without jobs
after wearing their suits to follow suit
pledging allegiance to the coat of arms
while politicians pay the others to carry coat of arms & ammo we call them “ungun known men”
mhen!
i understand what they say when they say politics k!lls
it is for the strong hearted, dining with devil is their sk!lls
so when you go in there everything changes
you lose your heart for the people
your goodness turns into evil…
but is this true?
my math set says that politicians are subsets of society
the masses are the mode
but their mode of expression is like:
permutations and combinations
do the calculations!
i mean, our leaders in their oppression are the mean value
the sum average of every individual
up to the age of rendering value through their votes
so take notes!
whatever the synonyms and antonyms
acronyms and initialism:
if you are under the umbrella pdp
let the power go back to the people like p2p
if you are apc, let corruption not be all we see
i know sometimes freedom is not truly free
but let us see it in your actions from a+to+z
so you see, democracy is a process where you see transparency, advocacy, and legitimacy
democracy without institutions? improbable!
offices without inclusion? impossible!
in the absence and breakdown of these pillars
a breach happens between the government and the people
because the deficits in government accountability
propels the risk of instability and violence
with this lens:
democracy must deliver not just ballots every few years
but dividends every single day
if we are nothing but pencils in the hands of the creator
let leadership determine if it is open hands or closed fists
[ dike chukwumerije ]
in truth, you can not whip or frog jump a country into development. you can not do that
modern concepts of development are centred around the concept of human rights
an expanded concept of human rights
not just fundamental human rights, but also economic rights
right to health, right to education, right to a good job
that this is what development means to facilitate the right to development to your citizens
so we need the government, or the president, to really become a believer in the importance of human rights
giving & allowing nigerians to have full access to the full range of human rights is the object of development
