Nigeria: A country Governed By Stark Illiterates

 Nigeria: A country Governed By Stark Illiterates

Nigeria as a country has three major ethic groups namely Biafra, Oduduwa and Arewa. Other minor ethic groups yet exist but these three are the major make-up of the country. 

When we take a look at the existing educational background of the Oduduwas that claim to be on the lead, they are having about forty five percent  (45%), Biafrans have about forty percent (40%) and the Arewas have about fifteen percent (15%) assumably. At the arrival of Western traditional way of life, the Oduduwas had better opportunities adopting to westernization. 

They became somewhat parasitic to the Igbos (Biafrans) and the catalysts to the Northernisation agenda. Their youths today are gradually changing the narrative. Biafrans are legends of development and technology in virtually all fields of endeavor. They believe in making something out of nothing, becoming the Japanese of Africa. They are extremely good in all aspects of life and as the lost Jews in Africa, are mostly being envied because of their ingenuity.

The Arewas are majorly the Almajaris (street beggars), herders and few other individuals that take to farming. They abhor western education but accept Islamic education. They prefer Sharia law to civil law. All the terrorist groups that are operating in Africa especially in West Africa are from Northern Nigeria.

A little glance at the political scene of the country ever since independence, confirms that the Arewas make up to sixty five percent (65%), the Oduduwas make up to thirty nine dot five percent (39.5%) and the Biafrans have only zero dot five percent (0.5%) of the political make up since independence. 

Looking at these statistics, why would one think that Nigeria will develop? Can one give what he does not have? How viable do you think that a society where the blind is leading others, would see the light? How do you think that a country where their major political masters are having mental disability is going to strive? Just imagine what happens when the knife that has head is blunt while the sharpened knife goes without head. 

Nigeria is the only country in the world where the educated are used as errand boys, while the uneducated are in charge of affairs. The educated are the useful tools for the uneducated, the educated are willing to serve the uneducated with reckless abandon, the educated are afraid to speak out, the educated grumbles inside his house because of the uncertain situations in the country but becomes mute in public. The educated kills his people on the order of the uneducated for political gains. The uneducated are controlling the educated at will.

The Northerners have their security outfit known as Hisbah with unreserved support of all. The Southerners (Westerners) have Amokeun which their law makers supported and have signed into law. They guide them jealously. 

But do you know that the grossly compromised and disgusting educated errand boys from the Eastern part have seen the formation of Eastern Security Network by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), as a taboo? What a pity! The errand boys have accepted their condition in exchange of money and power to control their people and to impoverish them. A day is coming!
