Bitter Politics Among Politicians

THE NEED TO SILENCE BITTER POLITICS AMONG POLITICIANS

Brethren, I can’t thank you enough for always having the interest of this God-chosen congregation at heart. And, I won’t stop appreciating you for making our success so far, a reality. Honestly, you all have sacrificed your very best towards the actualization of our present height.

Believe me, good things come to those who wait. But surely, better things come to only those who work for it. This is a fancy fact. But the bone of contention is that, we must be extremely careful and conscious while thriving towards securing the better things as mentioned above.

Based on the above note, I wish to ask all of us; how do we work on a daily basis in order to obtain the better and as well best things in life? In other words, do we invariably prefer taking the short-cut? This is a sincere question that calls for thorough meditation among every soul that lives on earth.

If you ask me how I work towards obtaining the better things in life, I’ll gladly tell you that, in every circumstance having done my best, I sincerely look up to the Almighty to do the rest. I do so simply because I personally believe that our best is not an assurance towards receiving the anticipated “better/best things”. Suffice to say that, God or nature has the final say or pronouncement in any circumstance. Well, that is me; I don’t know about you, in spite of the fact that we belong to the same congregation. Therefore, it’s your duty to inform or better still educate me on your own routine.

Each time I glance at the Nigerian political arena in its entirety, I don’t hesitate to wear a smile, even if it’s fake. In other words, I often smile tentatively. Sometimes I end-up grinning, not just smiling, just for the sake of my mental being/status. Yes, lately I’ve come to realize that, most present madness is attributed to indulgence in constant frowning expression which showcases, no doubt, fathomless wrinkles on one’s brow.

Though frankly, the nature of melodramas witnessed severally on the Nigeria’s socio-political platform, is nothing to write home about; or, doesn’t call for any manner of smile. If anyone must or chooses to smile over the scenario, it must be within his/her soul, and not to please someone else. For crying out loud; why try and be fake when being real takes less effort? Let’s ride on!

Brethren, at this point, I say unequivocally that, Nigeria as a country has really got it wrong when it calls for politics. If not, how can the entire society be filled or loaded with inconsequential bickering, antagonism, blackmail, criticism, sycophancy, just to mention but a few thereby constituting baseless fracas or pandemonium all in the name of politics? Surely without mincing words, we’ve really got it wrong.

The most devastating aspect of it is the ongoing countless bloodshed taking place all over on a daily basis, for the goal of actualizing nothing but a selfish desire. It’s already written and it’s no longer news that no one is entitled to shed blood, not even his/hers, for whatsoever reason. Needless to say; mankind is not eligible to participate in any act that would warrant or cost the termination of any soul created by the Almighty.

My utmost gladness in this is that, no one cheats nature. Yes, nature takes dominion in any existing territory or activity as the case may be. Believe it or leave it, there’s no man born of a woman, or created by the Almighty, that would ever claim of having cheated nature in one way or the other. You might have noticed that I love using “Almighty”; this is because it is a word that makes me completely happy while addressing God. Thus, I can’t compromise it for any other word whatsoever.

But let’s face the reality. Politics wasn’t meant for antagonism or baseless bickering. I’ve often said it; politics was instituted by God Himself to guarantee absolute leadership thrive amongst mankind. And, we would be fools to say that God wasn’t wise to come-up with such institution.

Sincerely, politics is truly worthwhile. On this note, I advise us to read a book titled “Politics and the Universe” written by Fred Nwaozor, to know more about this crusade. Without politics, I wonder how the society would have looked like, because I’m strongly of the view that it is by politics that societal developments and innovations take place.

But the bitter side of the existence of politics solely instituted by God Himself, is the unnecessary tussle widely witnessed in it, most especially in the African society. To me, such act is childish and shameful.

Therefore, I urge us to quit dancing Makosa when we’re called to dance Hip-hop, or vice-versa; else, we’re liable to end-up in a mere pot of soup if we continue like this. Enough is enough; So we must be deeply mindful of how we stride towards embracing the better side of life. Think about it!
