Nigerian democracy has survived the past 15 years with constant improvement and understanding of the system by the populace,but,however,it's quite evident that we still have a very long way to go.
We all know how hot the polity is presently.It's quite unfortunate that the Presidency is head bent on heating it up the more.Just as it's mentioned in my previous post on this blog,we have experienced more of politicking during this regime than we ever did since the beginning of the current republic.
Another thing that is worthy of note is the incidence of widespread corruption we have experienced at a much higher scale during this current regime. There's an escalating rate of corruption... it's so high that in a singular act of such corrupt practice,Nigeria lost DOUBLE the money we lost to the Abacha's... I'm talking of the $20 billion un remitted petroleum revenue for which Sanusi was sacked.
Corruption was going on at such alarming rate that the President had a hard time debunking the upsurge, so much so that he was caught on air claiming that STEALING IS NOT CORRUPTION! Imagine! Chaaai! There's God ooooo!
Boko Haram insurgency is another very unfortunate occurrence during Jonathan's regime that would NEVER be forgotten....it's the very first bombs are used on a large scale to terrorize in Nigeria. (Nigerians are already used to kidnapping for a ransom...the tactics of MEND...the terror group down South that claimed to be freedom fighters).
Especially,the ridiculous story built around it. The story is that boko haram is an ISLAMIC TERROR GROUP THAT'S TRYING TO ESTABLISH AN ISLAMIC STATE UP NORTH.
It's quite amusing that so many would fall for such a white lie against Islam and the Northern region of the country! A careful analysis of the sect's activities CLEARLY SHOW THAT THE SECT IS A POLITICAL AND NOT A RELIGIOUS TOOL PUT IN PLACE TO UNSETTLE THE NORTH. For the following Reasons,boko haram is NOT an Islamic sect.
Firstly,they terrorize the people while one of Islam's most basic principles is that DO NOT OPPRESS AND DON'T BE OPPRESSED. Secondly,they abduct people against their wishes and demand huge ransom in exchange. The Chibok Girls incidence is the most popular of such abductions. The Quran CLEARLY kicked against such actions when it categorically prohibit the inheritance of women against their own wishes. A third reason is the fact that they killed a Muslim cleric and an Emir which is STRICTLY PROHIBITED in the QURAN.
As such and coupled with a statement credited to the formal Security Adviser of Jonathan himself,late General Azaazi who categorically stated that "BOKO HARAM IS A FALL OUT OF THE INTERNAL CRISIS OF THE PDP",it's more than clear that boko haram is a political tool as against a religious sect as we are expected to believe it is.
Boko Haram is nothing but a political tool designed and implanted in the north to unsettle the North and possibly cause the secession of the country.But,thank God Who has held us together as a country for so long,Most Nigerians have read the insurgency rightly and have understood the fact that it's a delibrate handiwork of some greedy,desperate and inhuman politician who shall, by God's Grace be exposed for who they are and shall be publicly disgraced for sowing the seeds of crisis and terror amongst us and for trying to ensnare Islam with their evil ways. They plan,but,God also plan and God is the Best of Planners!
Yes,his tenure has recorded a couple of successes too...like the YUWIN program for the youth and the rice farm he recently commissioned in Nasarawa state not forgetting the rehabilitation of airports and road networks across the country but his failures and negative records by far supercede his positive records. The gigantic flaws of this administration are too many,this is why the little positivity he recorded are looked down upon and rounded down to ZERO!
The most painful of all the unfortunate developments happening in Nigeria is that THE YOUTH OF THE COUNTRY HAVE EITHER JOINED FORCES WITH OUR CORRUPT LEADERS AND ARE IN FACT ON THE VANGUARD OF THEIR CAMPAIGN TEAMS OR THEY LOOSE OUT AND PARTICIPATE IN RALLIES,BECOME THUGS FOR THE RICH...OTHERS BECOME ARMED ROBBERS,KIDNAPPERS OR CON MEN.
Is this how it ought to be,are we really a wasted generation, isn't there a way for us to turn the table round and become THE MOST USEFUL GENERATION OF ALL TIMES??? These and more questions shall be answered on my subsequent posts on this blog, stay tuned and bookmark this blog now.Thanks for your time!
To our success,
Abdurrahman
