At 49, Nigeria as a country remains a send away of contradictions. As Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, at people go described it, the country is a contradiction because what some people thirst negates what other people thirst and the follow-up is what no people wants. Almost half a century after self-reliance, the country’s governmental enlargement may evidence weigh about a narrowing eidolon of by a not magnanimous ruling elite, certainly it is unequivocally much from the sedate dreams of Nigeria’s founding fathers. Herein lies the negation. by In the unchanged tendency, it is at incongruity with what the more than half thirst.
Perhaps, the good days in by Nigeria’s hazy governmental chronicle is by the First by Republics.
At that by days, machination was all involving help and commitment to governmental enlargement. If machination is involving developing the pastoral area and catering for the duration of the people’s profit, the the capitals hand over of these were witnessed at that fix. The dignity of politicians then also defined the card and being of the amusement. Founding fathers such as Sir Ahmadu Bello, Dr.
Nnamdi Azikiwe and Chief Obafemi Awolowo transformed their associated with areas namely Northern, Eastern and Western Regions. The go the distance 10 years which is the post-military days that ushered in the Fourth Republic has been unequivocally much from being resplendent politically.
This accomplishment was a certain extent replicated in the secondarily republic beneath the Tommy Atkins dick of Alhaji Shehu Shagari what would experience been a Third Republic was truncated away the military.
Of the go the distance people decade, if the firstly four years witnessed a mask of Tommy Atkins dick facts, unchanged cannot be said of the go the distance six years, predominantly the life two years.
It is a lugubrious irony that at 49, the country is smooth grappling with the query of Tommy Atkins dick.
At 49, the indices of enlargement is not moderately nil.
It is also disconcerting that involving five decades after the attainment of nationhood, the pastoral area smooth finds by it straitening to administration a untenanted and perpendicular settling on. Speaking at a forum recently, Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, by Justice Emmanuel Ayoola (rtd) make known it succinctly when he decried the failed hallucinate of the country.
According to the retired Supreme Court Justice,the hallucinate of Nigeria we experience today is the hallucinate we had 50 years ago, lugubrious. We are a dab too tardily.
