Ghana is now globally
acknowledged as an example of a success story on the African continent. Ghana
has transformed (and continues to transform) into a respectable and responsible
member of the international community, making giant strides in virtually all
spheres of human and societal advancement.
We must however not forget
that it took a drastic sanitization and cleansing of the corrupt rulership in
the Ghanaian polity during the President Rawlings-era to build the necessary
foundations that underpins Ghana’s present prosperity.
The Nigerian
superstructure, its core institutions (the Executives at various strata, its
Judiciary and the Legislature) are enmeshed in corruption that has transformed
Nigeria into a danger and an embarrassment to its citizenry, the African
continent and a potent source of threat to global security.
Perhaps the time has come
when we begin to sensitize the international community and the world-at-large
about the need and possibility for a drastic (Rawlings-type) solution to the
corruption pandemic afflicting the Nigerian contraption!
We don't need to waste more time sensitizing anyone... We just need to get on with it. The shame and embarrassment is too much.
ReplyDeleteRawlings-type is still the only solution. Thats what Nigeria need.Gen. Tunde Idiagbon Would have carried out that action.Otherwise all these so called currupt Generals that looted our country and are still making noise would have rottened in the ground by now; while Nigeria would have been a paradise by now.
ReplyDeleteDo not bother yourself, the stage is been made ready by our leaders themselves. In Ghana it was by the military, in Nigeria, the military will not be trusted to do it, the masses will do it themselves.
ReplyDeleteI believe you Sunday Emejeh, the military cannot be
ReplyDeletetrusted. Nigeria situation now is quite different from Ghana then. Nigeria
military is highly politicised and corrupt too. Don't give the military the
opportunity to hijack power again. It will take us many years back. The
leadership can be changed easily in the next electoral process. It can be done,
Nigerians should not be hopeless. It's about voting and insisting your rights
be respected. If it can be achieved at the state level like Edo and Imo for example,
what will stop it at the federal level if Nigerians are really serious? When we
give in to despair, that makes our objective difficult
The fact is that we Nigerians speaks good English but the ability to carry out what we said are not practicable at all.Nigeria citizens are highly corrupt from the top to the bottom.God In His infinite mercy blessed Nigeria so much but GREEDINESS AND SELF AQCURING of earthly wealth have robbed Nigerians the joy.There is no Humanitarian scene again! One day all this will be a history like Ghana.
