Politics / Self Centeredness As A Killer Disease In Nigeria : A Nairalander's View by tkush: 5:24pm On Dec 22, 2015 |
Most inventions and creations are majorly invented by one originator but through the love of sharing have being able to cut across. Talk about Blogging, Books, Electronics, and among many other ideas/innovations have been able to see the light of the day because someone decided to extend the knowledge and it goes on and on. Marco Pierre White may not sound familiar to many but his zeal as a young man to become a footballer couldn’t be farfetched, but destiny had another plan when Marco had an injury and couldn’t continue playing football. Today, not as a footballer but as one of the best chef in the entire world, Marco happens to be the youngest chef to have received 3 Michelin stars by the time he was 33. What sets him apart is believing in sharing as how you gain and thus he trained the no 1 Gordon Ramsey amongst others. The whole idea of using Marco as illustration is because most developed states attain “Developed” status quo because they share ideas in as much it’s for the betterment of the populace. But in the Third World like Nigeria it is another ball game. In this part of the world where a motorist refuses to allow you overtake even when nothing stops him, an average politician and top office holder would have stuck enough cash in bank and some in disguise in their various houses as Precious Stones, Cars, and Jewelries before even considering their gateman for food not to talk of the masses. An average wife will always make the husband responsible for the totality of the house expenses even when she has a steady income, The Senate could afford billions of naira for car purchase when graduates are busy doing nothing except house chores. The whole idea of self centeredness in Africa most especially Nigeria has eaten deep, the syndrome of “me, me, and me” and “I never belle food” has led us to this state of anomie, mention any menace in Nigeria without self centeredness and I will show you a mirage or lie. Many ideas that could have made us develop in certain measure are dead because someone prefers it so than share it. The goal wasted by a player cause of self centeredness in a champions league final won’t only stop the team from the trophy but will take years to come for another opportunity. Until we consider and help others, until our various services is positioned in proffering solutions to human existence, until ideas are worked out, until our true existence is in direct proportion to how many people we have helped then our purpose on earth is to be questioned. Do have a sharing festive season. @Tobi Kusimo cc: lalasticlala |

Politics / Saraki's Nemesis..."his Father Or APC" by tkush: 7:44am On Sep 25, 2015 |
Following a year of turmoil, including two
political assassinations in the United States,
Richard Nixon became the nation’s 37th
President. His speech on August 15, 1973 was
perhaps one of the most controversial speech
ever made politically in America which
eventually triggered the “Water Gate Scandal”,
the ‘smoking gun’ tape further revealed Nixon’s
participation in the water gate scandal which
eventually led to his resignation.
Most times above sometimes, a speech or
action could destroy a political career of a
prominent politician, the Oba of Lagos’s “…you
will perish in the water” almost caused total
havoc during the last election while former
Speaker Aminu Tambuwal words asserting that
Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila “not having the
leadership skills to run the affairs of the House
of Representative is still moulding towards the
day it would be quoted against him.
In this scenario, the SP Bukola Saraki is beyond
speech or speeches but acts which could or
would affect the political happenings of the
Nigerian State for way too long. My point is
this, what if Saraki’s nemesis is not from the
role he played in becoming the SP even when it
has its semblance but as a result of the havoc
placed on the people of Kwara State with his
reign as the governor and towards the death of
his father.
He Saraki, after serving the maximum two
terms as a governor in Kwara his home State
with the influence and political machinery of his
father, he moved against his father and openly
disgraced the septuagenarian who happens to
be a respected politicians and former senate
leader. The same Saraki forced him out of the
then ruling party PDP all in the desperation to
install his stooge Mr. Abdulfatah Hammed who
is currently the governor and could cover up his
wrongful deeds. Someone who could betray his
father and his party that gave him the
opportunity to serve two terms in office. His
problem with former President Jonathan forced
him out to decamp to APC. Late Saraki (his
father) before his demise, no doubt was
instrumental to the emergence of governors
both military and civilian you just name it but
with an exemption to the current Governor in
Kwara Alhaji Abdufatah Ahmed, whose
emergence in 2011 was one of the remote
cause of his ouster in politics and eventually his
death. This submission justifies that the
nemesis of his father untimely death is more
than enough and long overdue to make Saraki
face this mess he is into than that of the APC.
If the shock of 2011 Kwara guber election result
could make his father not witness his 80th
birthday, then Saraki deserves more. Just my
thought |

Politics / Where Nigerians Should Focus...by Tobikush by tkush: 3:48pm On Jun 30, 2015 |
Even when it is evident that Malaria in Africa Region alone accounts for 85% cases and 90% of its deaths worldwide. HIV/AIDS career in Taraba State alone amounts to about 110,000 of its population(NEPWHAN) a population that surpasses Vatican City, Tuvalu amongst many other countries being put together. As if that is not enough, at the proportion of western countries being developed with zero case of malaria victim unless the carrier just trooped in from an African State, African continent has been characterized with menace that could take divine intervention to escape from. This analysis draws me to Nigerian political scenario, the reason for this as a focus encompasses the fact that whatsoever development or menace in a society is always the overall outcome of the decisions or policies from government as machinery saddled with the responsibility of engineering the society. At a time where the Majority of the Nigerian population believed that the Saviour has arrived (President Muhammadu Buhari) things politically still continue to be bedeviled with the strong inner caucuses who see power as more important than a family. The reason why Nigerians should not expect change is because the concept of change itself advocates for a different identity, but this personalities(Politicians) controlling the affairs of this nation still carries the Nigerian blood which means things could only get better but not change. The whole political brouhaha being manifested by who should take over the leadership of National Assembly is the least we should expect in the course of this administration because while Nigerian youths take time on social media, some forces still take their time to work out on how they are going to control the affairs of this country mostly for the worse out of greediness. To make this write-up so precise and short, one of the major way to make this country a better place is by advocating for meritocracy in our political offices rather than mediocrity. Many times being conversant with people’s comments and news that goes round on dallies, blogs, forum amongst others. One thing that is so central in people’s comment is religious and ethnic bigotry where you see someone having stolen much from the nation’s treasury still supported by people from his region which makes culture of impunity being celebrated and defended if not by people from the politician’s region it could be from those who benefitted from his corrupt practices. A country like America wouldn’t have someone like Obama as president if mediocrity is the order of the day, even when racism is still pervasive in that part of the world they still don’t joke with meritocracy, if a black man is good for the job so be it unlike in this part of the world where a sociologist fills the position of an accountant in an organization. My argument is not that western countries doesn’t have their own flaws as regards this, but the rate is alarming in this part of the world. Irrespective of the region you come from among the six geo-political zones in Nigeria the best man for the job suppose to fill the space. In a situation where a man that cannot manage his family is giving the role of leadership more traumas tends to emanates than filling the space with a dexterous man who is fit for the job. If this could be related to our political offices with vote and deliberation some like Babatunde Fashola, Donald Duke, Akinwumi Adesina amongst some could be considered for appointments than those who have failed with the previous ones appointed to them, not that these few mentioned are certified not to have side-funded government funds but at that they were able to make people feel their effect as an administrator. It took meritorious Lee Kuan Yew to change the face of Singapore, Jose Mujica to calm Uruguayan political system with frugality, Mandela to imbibe a strong political culture in South Africa, Nigeria also need meritorious politicians to change the face of this nation and it begins with the citizens because the society will always taste for bad leaders but it is the duty of the citizens to reject it. This is just my view and am not party affiliated, your view is also welcome on this. writetotkush@gmial.com |
