Teach the poor dreaming preacher guy old Paolo Frere. Then force down his throat a dose of Musoveni laced with Jerry Rawlings because he may faint if you mention Karl Marx without softening him with appropriate revolutionary innoculation. .Most of us remain somewhat ineducable regarding socio-political processes and the dynamics of transformation. Nigerians think we will be saved by sweetest homily and political cosmetics...salvation will begin to gestate with the wings or claws of re-birth when we purge ethnicity and primitive acquisition from our consciousness, all those things which provoke the desire for Northern President or Southern President, Igbo President or Kukuruku President or Yoruba President and so forth...all those things which spur us to declare and demand that it is OUR turn to rule, a rather crazy euphemism for it is our turn to go and steal everybody's money and share it with my own people or my friends, or appropriate it for my self only. That is the capsule of our malaise and irremediable condition.
