Nigeria: A Nation in a State of Zero Government and Zero Governance… is there no Government in that Country Anymore, and Why is there no Balm in all Nigeria?
Obsequious! Objection! Obsequious!
It’s all about Nigeria and understanding the significance, sanctity and the exaltedness of that office, what it confers and expects of the holder – the highest holy ground of service in the country. Thus, the Presidency is not a place for every egboda (Yala, for thoroughly worthless), but an exalted office for the exalted mind. When alive, the great Zik of Africa bowed to every occupier of that exalted office and not the other way round. Kabisa!
“… politics is the natural ‘farm’ of the North and being in government perpetually makes them feel and behave like a shoal of tilapia fish in a village pond.”
- JOHN ODEY ADUMA.
WARS IN THE AGE OF WAHALA AND KATAKATA…. OUR WORLD HAS GONE MAD AGAIN!
In these our chaotic and uncertain times when the gods of war have been let loose upon the nations, it becomes a pertinent question to ask again: how ready is Nigeria, and indeed, all Africa for these wars flapping their wings all over the nations of the world and will both fight?
Generally, what is the current stock of Nigeria’s/Africa’s arsenal/weaponry, and what is the capabilities and combat readiness of their professional military?
Also, if the wars were to be fought within Nigeria/Africa, how prepared are we? Or the nation states of Nigeria/Africa have become so complacent that they think these wars can only happen, and in fact, take place only in the continent’s most volatile, vulnerable and fractured regions – Africa’s axis of strife in hunger-stricken Ethiopia, Tigray and Eritrea; resource-rich, but perpetually wahala-infested and strife/war/violence-stricken DRC; the highly Islamized-Arabinized-terrorised-war stricken, super active, super sensitive, super inflammable, super volcanic and super eruptive and Kwashiorkor-ridden Sudan; the supra-Islamised-Arabized Somali/Somaliland, and nowhere else in the continent to the point the complacent regions of the world within the continent could merely chuckle and ask: War? NOT IN MY BACKYARD!
But how indeed, will firstly, Nigeria, and then Africa wide respond to the myriads of both the old and the new global threats, including cyber and AI warfare, being non-weapon producing continent, excepting SA?
Secondly, what is Nigeria’s and indeed, Africa’s total military strength and capability and how combat-ready are they as well as the quality and quantity of their armed forces, training, professionalism, competence and milie dexterity against the backdrop of, especially Nigeria’s inability to defeat terror in the last two or so decades of doing battles with the former street urchins (a.k.a almajirai) turned Sunni-Wahabi-Salafis terrorists/bush soldiers, gun-toting human predators (a.k.a.) “unknown gun men”; AK-47-wielding Fulani herders; kidnappers; bandits, night and day raiders; Islamic jihadi land grabbers, ruga and territory hunters, ransom-demanding bush and urban Arewa monstrous monsters?
But why has the world – mankind – all humanity gone back into or gradually slid into war despite the advancement of the modern civilization?
Answer: It is not possible for a world such as ours with such zero morality, for whilst the world is advancing with lightning speed in technology, it has stagnated in morality, promoting all moral aberrations and amoral practices. Therefore, a world of such a zero morality and stupendous or gargantuan godlessness is heading fast into perdition, and the only option for humanity to settle scores now is the test of strength and power in battle fields such as we have now across the globe – no more dialogues, but war, war and war as mad dogs slugging it out with each other on the highway, not caring a hoot about the speeding oncoming vehicles on both sides. And this our zero hour shall be recorded in titles such as MAN: THE ABANDONEMENT OF GOD, and MAN: THE ABANDONMENT OF MORALITY.
(THIS) OUR CRAZY, CRAZY WORLD AND THE PRODIGAL PRINCE
Man is a Prince Harry walking away from his father, King Charles III. Thus, neither God nor man has abandoned the other. What has transpired in that vertical relationship of a son with a father was simply that as the Biblical prodigal son simply walking away, just as in the modern times, Prince Harry too simply walked away and preferred the horizontal relationship and comfort of a Meghan (Markle).
In sum, man is the prodigal prince in the relationship between him and God just as Harry is the prodigal Prince in the relationship between him and the dad, whilst Meghan Markle is the ‘serpent’ (of the modern world) in the relationship which neither has abandoned the other!
Enter, King Charles III:
The abandonment of Prince Harry or just a display of aloofness or a momentary lack of concern/interest or love for his boy?
Enter, Harry:
The prodigal Prince or the abandonment of (his father) Charles?
Thus, is there a notion of Man: The abandonment of God?
Or God: The abandonment of man?
