"A Dirty Broom Has Never Swept a Dirty Room"

A brother and a friend once presented a Book gift to me. The name of the Book is "The Prince" and the author of the Book is Niccolò Machiavelli (1469–1527).

That notorious adage "The end Justify the means" has it root from this Book.

"The Prince" is a handbook for unscrupulous politicians that inspired the term "Machiavellian" and established its author as the "father of modern political theory."

The former Nigerian military ruler, Gen Ibrahim Babangida once declared The Prince as his favourite Book. All Babangida's Maradona political maneuvers and antics are product of The Prince. At least Babangida read Books and learn from history, President Buhari does not read Books and is ignorant of History and that is why this wicked mass murderer brutally murdered 1000+ innocent children, women and men in less than 72 hours in Zaria and thinks if he buried their dead bodies in mass graves then he has buried the genocide.

I read the whole of The Prince countless times and admired the intelligence of the famous author but the Islamic spirit reject his conclusions. The end does not justify the means in Islam. If the end is good then the means must be good.

An Eclipse of the Sun occurred exactly when the son of the Prophet (as) died. Some of his companions started ascribing the death of the Prophet's to the Sun Eclipse. Prophet Muhammad (sa) rejected that assumptions saying the Sun Eclipse is a natural Phenomenon. Accepting that assumption would have increased the faith of his companions but the means is wrong and the end result must be wrong.

Throughout history it is impossible to use evil to achieve goodness. The end product of evil is evil. If one want to attain goodness then the means of attaining it must be good.

I will digress a little to the current political gimmick in Nigeria by the Buhari regime. They will tell you that Buhari will use corrupt politicians and notorious treasury looters to fix Nigeria. Ask them "After more than 3 years was that possible?". Today Buhari is running the most corrupt government in The history of Nigeria. APC is a government of the thieves, by the thieves and for the thieves and that is why Nigeria is today the Extreme poverty capital of the whole world.

The notorious Grass Cutter, Babachir, wickedly looted hundreds of millions from the #IDP funds but this wicked thief is a free man today. All thanks to the fraudulent integrity merchant Buhari! Akpabio is a notorious thief and treasury looter but since he decamped to Buhari's party, he claimed he is helping Buhari fight corruption!

One sad invention of the Buhari cabal is the weaponization of poverty in Nigeria then exploit this to buy Votes from poor Nigerians during elections with full police protection. People with honor will not resort to this lowliness. Only the filthy pretenders can perpetrate such evil. The purpose of Buhari governance is not to create jobs, provide security, build needed infrastructures, save lives and build bridges so as to unite Nigerians. Buhari governance is losing more than 9 million jobs in 2 years, creating mass graves for the innocent Nigerians murdered by the Bloodthirsty tyrant, rampant killings and insecurity and desperation for power perpetuation.

On a final note, we should use good and positive means to achieve good results. This is positive and honest living. A dirty broom has never swept a dirty room.
