Wisdom, where is thee? Righteousness whence comes thee? Where are you, the fountain of truthfulness? Courage, where is thy home? True-leadership how illusive is thee to our people?
Contrary to the belief of many, wisdom is not a function of age otherwise the same old and intellectually primitive cabals that have run Nigerian down would have taken the advantage of their fossilizing brain to run the country up. Righteousness too is not a function of religiosity because Nigeria is being ruined by the religious clowns ‘the Allah kubhakars’ and ‘the love one anothers’. Neither is truthfulness a function of conscience, IBB, Obasanjo, Abacha, Atiku, Governor Kalu, Representative Bankole, Professor Iwu, just to name few of the primitive men of this century, are for sure men with conscience yet where is their conscience? Governor Kalu and Representative Bankole surely have debunked the myth that youthfulness is the home of courage. These two not only proved that corruption is endemic in Nigeria but also unbounded. The Independent fathers, the heavens, Nigerians, young and old that have passed over to the other side of life as a result of corruption and abjectness in the country will not forgive these two, Bankole and Kula and their likes, not only for their sellout but for driving the deadly nail through the heart of the seed of regeneration, a regeneration for a new and hopeful Nigeria. The old generation destroyed Nigeria but the new generation in the person of Bankoles will erase the memory of the nation.
Nigerian gone about looking for Mr. True-leadership
Oh! True-leadership for how long shall thee elude our people? For how long shall our people seek their face? How far to corners of the earth have you depart from our people? Are the sacrifices of our founding fathers not good for the salvation of their children? Do you not see that our people and our nation are passing away? Why have thy forsaken us?
Knowledge:
Whaaat! Depart from me and disturb my peace no more! I know who you are, Nigerian, and you’re like your people. Do not call me by my alias again, you must call me by my last name, in my home unlike in yours respect is the law. How dear you impugn on my integrity and steadfastness. Not from the days your fathers sought me have I moved, not even on vacation. I made a commit to your fathers and have been where I have been, how dear you accuse me of departing to evade your people. Since your fathers have gone to rest have I lingered with my hands clinched and fully stretched, longing for your people to take hold of my hands because I see and know the rot and the decadence in your society. I too am not immortal but my commitment to your fathers has held me in waiting for in vain for your people all these years. But know these and your foolish leaderships know it! Everything ‘expireth’ and I will not linger forever. But you should thank my maker, the Supreme-One for my omniscience nature otherwise I would have departed for the peoples that truly seek me. Now Nigerian, why have you come? Who send you or on whose authority have you came? Call me Knowledge and this is my Name .
Nigerian:
Master, sorry, Mr. Knowledge I come on my own accord I have no authority or other master but you. I have come because my people know you not but yet only you will save my people and nation from self annihilation. I do not know how much time is left but please for your promise and commitment to our fathers come and salvage us. I ask for your indulgence as I initially impugned that you forsake my country.
Knowledge:
Nigerian! I go no where with you because I do not go places. I am Knowledge. I permeate the minds of people who truly seek after me. But I must correct you when you say your people know me not. No, your people are willfully and deliberately ignorant of me. When your masses sell their votes to criminals for few cups of rice and three tins of tomatoes how can I help them? When your so called leaders export the nation’s wealth overseas how is that me? I am wise because I am knowledge. He that leads must be wise and he that is wise has me. I have been here for centuries and see people and nations move from primitiveness into civilization but the current generation of your people especially your leaders are taking your nation on back and forth Kamikaze mission into primitive and civilized worlds. Both of these worlds have their own merits but the mix of these two leads to self annihilation. The thieves that have run your nation since the mid eighties are primitive men inspiring to live in a modern world. These thieves are primitive of the primitives. These thieves steal people’s wealth for family generations that they were not guarantee of. These thieves know not why they are here in the natural and hence they know not whence and whereas they go after here, yet they ‘thinketh’ themselves as spiritual and religious beings. These ignoramus thinketh their amassed but stolen wealth will buy them comfort but they knoweth not, the loot condemneth them here and beyond.
Your independent fathers intended that your generations acquire me hence they built schools and places of higher learning. But your generations went and acquired educational maladies and became ill educated. The educated among you today are curse unto the people and unto your nation. Comparatively the uneducated in your nation are humans and the educated are not. Your leaders were sent to acquire me but instead they got educated in numbers, corruption, forgery, ignorance, greed, lawlessness, hate and drunkenness. How can your leaders say they have me when they travel to Germany, Europe, to America or to the middle east for medical treatment for hundreds of millions of dollar when they could built a better medical facility in your nation with just a fraction of the cost of one time foreign medical treatment? How is this action not ignorance in the part of your leaders and their hatred towards the masses of your people. Such medical facility if built locally would benefit these ruling cabals and the masses whose wealth they the loot. How is it not ignorance when a leader of people exports his people’s wealth to another people only to see his people die of deprivation of the same while the recipients of the wealth blooms and flourishes? How is it not greed beyond any understanding and education in numbers as against knowing me when your leaders steal such enormous amount of wealth that they and generations of their families will never need? How is it not lawlessness when these criminals are never prosecuted? How is it not lawlessness when the chief law enforcer or the chief executive is one of the looters and the courts, the place where the loots are shared and the legislatures the distributor of the loots. How is it not drunkenness when leaders starve their fellow citizens to death in the mist of plenty? My friend what is wrong with your people is not the lack of me but your leaders’ and your masses' willful rejection of me. I always make myself available to those that truly seek me. Your nation by virtue of its location and providence is fashioned for greatness but only under the freewill act of the Supreme-One. Your nation will be what your leaders and masses of your people make of it. The Supreme-one have finished his work and the hand work of the Supreme-One is perfect. Your people childishly and ignorantly pray to the Supreme-One for the same providences he made available from the beginning of time. The remaining work is for men and faith in the Supreme-one but without work is dead.
Show me seven thousand people, old or young of your nation that are not inwardly corrupt then I will give you a copy of myself, the scroll of knowledge. Go! My Nigerian friend, tell your people that they have about a dozen years or less to renew their mind with knowledge otherwise the toils of your fathers will be soiled. The salvaging of your nation from its gloomy tomorrow is neither in the pain and suffering of your olds nor in the wasting of youths but rather in the renewal of the minds with knowledge. Representative Bank ole and Governor Ojo ka-alu (ugly-than-evil) prove that your youths are no better than your olds. Your society is corrupt beyond words and wild beasts are not as greedy as your people. Go tell your people to renew their minds with me, Knowledge and the land will be healed. There will not be another time between us unless your land is healed. Goooh!
