A Warning Message to Nigeria: “War Changes Everything”

I. A country must dissolve itself when it fails to work for the interest of the people

“As a young man I’ve lived through the breakout of war in the former Yugoslavia and I served in the Croatian army during the war. The remarkable thing about the build-up to that war was that only days before its full outbreak, most people believed that war would never happen. It seemed unthinkable. I certainly did not think it would happen.

Yugoslavia’s ethnicities, cultures and religions were intertwined in many ways over many generations. While haters did exist, most people by far did not want to hate their neighbours, did not want a war and positively wanted to preserve peace.

However, once the shooting, the victims and the destruction started to happen, everything changed.

Our societies rapidly polarized: nuanced, empathic regard for the other side quickly went out of style, pacifism became unpatriotic, and political opposition became tantamount to treason.

People on all sides closed ranks behind their leaders, patriotism and readiness to fight became supreme virtues and the collective psyche rapidly morphed into the black and white, “us against them” mode.

The business of war then became the nation’s primary preoccupation.” – Alex Krainer

The dismemberment of a country is not a new phenomenon in the annals of political world. It happened to Yugoslavia in 1992. It can happen to Nigeria if the elites refused to reconsider their intransigence on the need to reconstitute, to reconstruct and to restructure the present unjust, unequal and enslaved society that is ungraciously inflicting unbearable pain and suffering on the citizens.

The restructuring of Nigeria can still be done without going into a bloody war as Yugoslavia did. Dissolution of Czechoslovakia into Czech and Slovakia happened in 1993 without shooting a single bullet at each other. Former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics of Russia (USSR) was partitioned into 15 sovereign countries in 1991 without turning their country into a killing field.

‘Nigerians’ should rethink the ongoing obsession with meaningless political ‘democratic’ elections that will have no positive or beneficial impact whatsoever on the pernicious status quo of power relationships and the oppressive political hegemony of the country.

After tasting the bitter pills of ‘demo-crazy’, aka “nascent democracy” in the elections of 1999, 2003, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019 and 2023, Nigerians should by now be wise to this macabre game of in-your-face political deceits, economic chicanery and the outrageous impunity of the political class.

II. Haven’t Nigerians Been Fooled Long Enough?

“Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.” The shame is on all Nigerians, since we have been fooled (raped) serially seven times and yet we are still insisting the next rape on justice, on freedom and on equality will be different and probably will be palatable and enjoyable this time around.

Shame on all Nigerians, if we refused to use our common sense and intelligence to forsee the dangers ahead and to immediately abort the predictable and wasteful oncoming 2027 General Election.

The forthcoming elections that are under the malevolent preparation of enemies of freedom, of justice and of equality is not expected and can never be expected to bring relief to the enslaved and the suffering indigenous nations of Nigeria.

At this late stage, if the awakened intelligentsia and the conscientious civic leaders cannot see the ominous warning signs of danger in the political sky of Nigeria, then common Nigerians should prepare themselves for the worst of all the possible dangerous scenarios.

Obviously, when the predictable sad events shall begin to manifest, the elites of Nigeria, who are the harbinger of the disaster, would have disappeared with their families into the already prepared safe havens at the other side of the seas.

These impending dangers and disasters, a predictable consequence of the various acts of ignominious stupidity by the political ruling class, shouldn’t be allowed to arrive safely at its logical disastrous conclusion.

Nigerians must not allow a collective ignorance, a general idiotic complacency, an apathetic carelessness or negligence to hold us down for slaughter. Nigerians need to wake up from their political slumber. We ought to apply our common sense in order to understand the bewildering political issues of the day that are about to exterminate and bury us completely. These are the few achievable steps we can take to prevent the insane match of the ethnic nations of Nigeria into an unnecessary civil or religious war.

Nigeria is presently in mini battles with itself at several theatres across the country. These battles can still be prevented from becoming an all out wars of inter and intra ethnic nations or of wars between religious/sectarian groups or of wars between the north and the south or of wars between ‘the Core North’ [Fulani] and ‘the Peripheral North'[Hausa and Others].

However, it is ridiculous to think that Nigerians are still insisting that the unrepentant calibre of sociopathic politicians, who have occupied the political space since independence; who have inflicted and are still inflicting untold pain and suffering on the citizens; and who have looted and carted away the assets of the commonwealth to safe havens for only themselves, are still trustworthy enough to take the people and the country — albeit through bogus and corrupt electoral processes — to the promised land flowing with milk and honey.

And if indeed the people’s faith in the politicians and in the political processes are still firm, then the few awakened Nigerians, who are admonishing, crying and begging Nigerians to consider the fundamental need to undertake a healing educational engagement, have better learned to shut up and hold their peace.

It is important to reiterate that it is only by embarking on a fundamental reeducation programme that Nigerians can individually change the prevailing corrupt societal moral and ethical values; reorientate the unwholesome archaic beliefs and practices; and reformat the warped collective consciousness towards a healthier thinking and a progressive worldview.

But, inasmuch as the political thinking across the land remains as it is today, the few sane Nigerians who can connect the dots and who can see the handwriting of impending danger on the wall must be advised to thread carefully. It is obvious that if these articulate Nigerians should persist on the noble and altruistic cause of trying to enthrone justice, equality and freedom for all in the conquered land of Nigeria — through popular enlightenment programme and sensitisation political struggle — they would most likely run the risk of being accused and charged with the most serious crimes of felony and label with the tag of unpatriotic citizens.

These humane and selfless Nigerians can then be judiciously arrested under the unjust extant laws of the country and locked up indefinitely for disturbing the peace of the country. The Presidents of Nigeria have never hidden their abhorrence for civilised niceties to uphold and respect the sanctity of the rule of law. A former president told ‘Nigerians’ that, “the national interest and security supersedes the rule of law and fundamental human rights”

Time is running out for Nigeria. My only wish at this late hour is that more of the awakened and peace-loving people can see the hopelessness of the situation. And they can rally round together to work extra hard in persuading fellow Nigerians to jettison the present suicidal pathway that was chosen for them without consultation by the psychopathic political godfathers.

III. Has Evil Become Nigeria?

Unfortunately, the darkness covering the mind and soul of the people in the land of Nigeria is a total eclipse. Hence, a collective spiritual blindness has overtaken the lives of all and sundry.

The spirits of psychological dumbness and deafness (‘Mumu’ in local parlance) have secured a foothold and are now reigning in the lands of Nigeria as lord and master.

Most Nigerians can no longer see or hear or discern what is bad and evil anymore because they have become evil personified themselves.

Nigerians are now very comfortable with corruption. They rejoice heartily and toast one another when proceeds of their various evil political schemes and demonic economic machinations are bountifully successful.

Poorly educated and misinformed ‘Nigerians’, after several years of brainwashing and indoctrination into all kinds of absurdities, are ready to crucify anyone who says otherwise or who dares to point out the obvious ethical contradictions in the prevailing ruinous ‘civilised’ culture and irresponsible lifestyles of the elites.

It is sad for me to say this, Nigerians are now wallowing like pigs in a pigsty under a subhuman and erroneously cultivated lifestyle of beastly greed, gluttonous consumption, and sordid flamboyant exhibitions. In short, a lifestyle of buffoonery at all levels by both the rich and the poor in Nigeria.

Fellow ‘Nigerians’, it is high time you knew who and what you have become. Without a clear understanding of “how thou art fallen” from grace to grass, there will never be a conscious desire and a determined effort from you to repent and to change from your wanton waywardness.

IV. The Warning Signs

The warning signs are clear and straightforward: the 2027 Election, like all the previous elections, is not and can never be the answer to the present political, social, economic and spiritual problems of Nigeria.

If the indigenous peoples who are presently called Nigerians insist that they have no other choice than to go ahead with this predictable, wasteful and foreboding electioneering exercise, it will confirm the inevitable suspicions that the souls of Nigerians in its entirety are under the bondage of an epidemic problem of spiritual blindness, dumbness and deafness. In other words, Nigerians have eyes, they cannot see. They have ears, they cannot hear. And they have mouth, but are incapable of raising their voices to challenge the absurdities surrounding their miserable existence.

In such a dire situation as this, does it mean that the few reflective and sober Nigerians have no other recourse than to join the chorus singers who are singing and calling for “a divine intervention” over Nigeria?

Of course, a divine intervention will happen naturally after a people have fervently sought knowledge and truth of their circumstances. But, I think to negligently relinquish our divinely gifted intellect, common sense, intuition and the inalienable rights to take charge of our lives, will be an ignoble acceptance of a life of total hopelessness, unfathomable powerlessness and egregious denial of the immense divine power that providence has already bestowed on mankind.

Fellow so-called Nigerians, this is a time that calls for a quiet individual sober reflection, deep introspection and private meditation by each and everyone. The answer to all our problems is flowing in the wind. It is only begging for receptive minds to welcome it home and to make use of it for the benefit of self and others.

Are we ready to listen to the silent and loving summons of the spirit of truth?

Time will tell.
