"Forgive and forget Syndrome", bane to good governance in Nigeria.

 "Forgive and forget Syndrome", bane to good governance in Nigeria.

It appears Nigerians have a short memory. The confusion created by religious doctrine of forgiveness has created a culture of wicked impunity in leadership. It is unbelievable how the "Syndrome of Forgive and Forget" has permeated every faceted of life in the country.

We are quick to forget the corruption of many politicians so much so those who suffered because of the wicked acts of these politicians are the one that lead the call for elevation later... Sometimes because of vested interest that clouds their judgment and their ability to make rational decision.

They canvas for politicians we do not know their real name, we do not know their parents or state of origin, they canvas for politicians we saw with our own korokoro eyes that collected bribe, they advocate national honor for leaders that decimated our economy for lack of mental acumen to lead, they openly support known thieves to get into position of power again - people who continue to siphon the commonwealth in their previous positions either through triple salary or cooperation they own that continues to milk taxpayers money.

Amaechi, former governor of Rivers state and two minister under Buhari has said repeatedly that Nigerians are not ready for good governance because they accept anything and everything thrown at them. He posit that which politician will say they have not abused their position to enrich themselves (Amaechi's word - which politician is not a thief), which has not falsified documents or skip national assignment like NYSC to get into position? He once said many politicians including himself should be stoned when seen in public. A very respected preacher said after May 2023 election that Nigerians should forget the past .... Yoruba bo won ni - amunkun eru wo - oni, oke lehun wo e wo isale... (a man with a crooked leg was asked why the load on his head is bent, he said that you are only focusing on what is on my head and not my imbalance legs). When the foundation is weak...... what can you build on it. Ile tia fi ito mo, iri nio wo - house built on sand cannot stand the test of time.

Nigeria is broke ... badly broke and it is hanging on a thread of thin rope.. Many people live from hand to mouth today.... because of years of saying let by-gone be by-gone. If you do not learn from the mistakes of the past and you keep doing the same thing and expect a different result, the world will soon conclude you are irredeemable and crazy.... If Nigerians do not change, in 10 to 20 years, we will still be crying of poor governance and the situation will even be more dial.

My prayer is that I see Nigeria of my dream in my life time.... A people so blessed but has little to show for it....

When you discover the wisdom of the universe, it is as if...

When you locate the wisdom of the universe, it would be as if you have a magic wand... Your prosperity rolls over, you climb to the top faster and leave many behind... Funke Akindele's movie, "A tribe called Judah" remains the highest-grossing movie in Nollywood (Nigeria's movie industry). I saw the movie last week and could not make head or tail of it.. But something was unique about it. It was the first Nigerian movie that cast MANY actors from all the major ethnic groups in the nation.. These are top actors... For so long, Nollywood has been divided along ethnic lines... You have the Yorubas doing their thing, the Igbos doing their own and our brothers in the North, the Hausas doing their own. But this movie cast actors from everywhere, so, it became a must-see for almost all Nigerians ... Funke Akindele is a talented writer, actor, and producer. But she is also a shrewd businesswoman. She located the wisdom in tapping the talent of diverse ethnic groups in Nigeria...

Wannabee Prime Minister that is Denigrating her Native Country... for What?

Omo ale lo maa hun fi owo osi j'uwe ile baba eh - it is a BASTARD child that uses the left hand to describe her father's house.... We should speak honestly about our country, but when you hold a position like Kemi does decorum is essential. She could say the same thing in a way that will not impact the lives of ordinary Nigerians who live and make a honest living across the globe. She is an opposition leader for crying out loud... She is dragging her native country deep into the mud to gain cheap popularity.... She will need the votes of Nigerians if she will ever be Prime Minister one day. Every letter of her words will come back to hunt her... I trust Nigerians in the UK will not only mobilize against her, but they will also mobilize other Africans and Carribeans to shun her...
