Measuring the heartbeat of my country-Nigeria

"Autocracy has failed to generate conditions to growth and its return would hold no promise of improvement"-Professor Sir, Paul Collier, Oxford University. Photo: Uche Okeke

Its difficult to be on the sideline when your country threads on a slippery ground. What history has shown is that Authoritarian rule does not offer 'freedom, equality and prosperity'. Sadly the supporters of this chaotic government are simply held hostage by the barbaric and obsolete ideology of their captor who resent mordenity.

 I'm surprise that today's Nigeria society will allow itself to go through this dishonest experimentation. Its happening right in-front of everyone and most people simply think all is in order. We've talked a lot about what I call mistake of destiny. Read More: http://www.theleadprojectfoundation.com/2018/02/today-nigeria-is-not-democratic-country_26.html

What happened today in Ekiti  and other places has vindicated some of us who are leading voices on the need to restructure the country. Despite gross human rights abuse, the maltreatment of the sitting State Governor by federal authorities demonstrates the fear of many a sad signal to anyone who opposes the 'Grand Agenda', This is regrettable.

The challenge is now how to get rid of this chaotic government-'fraud and failure', tyrannical,  to build a new society that is inclusive. Its on this note that we welcome the new coalition of committed democrats which we hope will rescue the country from the present day barbarism. The merger is a 'positive step forward' to solve the urgent issue at hand.

This government has demonstrated gross ignorance of the challenges facing the country instead pursing rejected 19th century ideology of conquest. It has rejected Restructuring, the primary condition for development and transformation. This exposes it as a danger to the future, incapable and renders it an obstacle to future peace, prosperity and stability of the country.

Ordinary people need to understand that this is not how real democracy works. We must reject silly narratives they promote which is aimed at keeping people in chains forever. Real democracy promotes 'freedom, equality and prosperity', we should not expect this to happen with a ruthless Dictator incharge. This is the whole point. The population of the country is projected to outgrow resources and this government doesn't have the expertise for innovative ideas that will drive the necessary transformation having rejected restructuring.
