LAGOS: OF POLITICAL THUGS,OPPORTUNIST POLITICAL ELITES,INNOCENT MASSES AND LAWLESSNESS. "TEMPLATE FOR LEADERSHIP IN NIGERIA"

The man dies in him that keeps qiet in the face of injustice.-Professor Wole Soyinka.

Governance in lagos is between two sets of people: opportunist political elites and opportunist political thugs. Every other person is their slave,all masses on the streets and within the state. Same situation exists all over the federation and this has to stop!!

Have you asked yourself why some illiterate thugs exist in kai and Lastma,placed on the road by the opportunist political elites to be harassing the educated literates and businessmen and women on the road on daily basis? Personally,I know lagos is a lawless state. The law is basically designed to cripple,incapacitate and dismantled the weak. That's the same attribute taken to the central government by the APC led federal government. Every organ of our government is lawless if you take a critically look at happenings in the country in the last two years. From executive to judiciary and legislative, they are all lawless and corrupt. They share different embarrassing issues on a daily basis.

Let me ask you: The badoo guys that get paid N500k for a single blood stain handkerchief, do you care to ask them who gives such money for such thing before killing them through jungle justice? Why the reprisal attack by badoo? Its all lawlessness!! Its all crass struggle between the opportunist politician and opportunist thugs. The people bear the brunt!!

The people are the raw material for their ritual renewals and killings. We are just too emotional in this country from seeing the truth. How could a state adjudged to be pacesetting in development and governance be so enmeshed in that kind of high degree of killings with impunity? State of excellence turned state of fear and tribulation. The same killings have become trademark almost in all communities in Lagos.  Its not just Ikorodu but every communit has its appellation for lawless groups. We have heard of the socks and slippers blood tasting groups in agege. We have heard of the eiye and aiye bloody clash in mushin. We have also heard of the rival blood bathe in shomolu,bariga and fadeyi. Ajegunle and ijora badia are not left out talkless of the rivalry clash in Lagos island and oshodi. The very recent clash in oshodi saw innocent lives forcibly taken out of someone in blood day light and till now,the government have gone silent about it. Abule egba,Ikeja,ketu mile 12,ijesha,ikotun,igondo and iba are not left out talk less epe and ajah and its various communities. These are glaring daily lawlessness. We should stop deceiving ourselves. The whole issue is because of the penchant for the continued rulership of Lagos by those with born to rule mentality who naturally are not lagosians themselves. Exemplary Lagos is badagry but has been deprived of development.
Ikoyi,vi,magodo and abesan have been designed by the elite for their personal safeguard.
Till date, why do agberos continued to exist at bus stops and garages collecting illegal money almost at every busstop despite the open declaration by the governor early this year? Its all because of this lawlessness I have been talking about.

All these groups of young boys whose conscience have been soaked in blood,who gives arms and munitions to them? If they bought it,where do they go to buy? Who gives such money to them?

Above all things ,the political thugs are the tools of the political elites and the people the slaves. Instead of jungle justice,they should be questioned and interrogated so as to get to the root of their mission and possibly godfathers.

There are thugs in Nigeria,nationwide but none can be compared to Lagos mainly due to the wealth in the state and the population and this has given room to easy access to political tools and thuggery cum lawlessness.

The solution to this is everywhere on the internet and in discussions by people daily. As far as government in Nigeria is concern,no family is born to rule. You,you and you reading this,who have empower yourself with peoples desire and interest of quality livelihood have the impetus to  lead politically in Lagos and everywhere or any state in Nigeria provided you meet the constitutional stipulations. Political offices is not royal stool and as such we should endeavour to:
. Stop electing any past president,head of state,past military men,past director generals of custom,immgration,police,civil defence and or road safety as president or governor or senators or representatives
. Stop electing any past governors as governor
. Stop electing any past senators as senators
. Stop electing any past reps as rep at both state assembly and federal house of reps
. Stop electing any past local government chairmen as chairmen
. Stop electing any past councilor as councilor

Doing this,many of their cronies wouldn't end up as ministers,commissioners,pas,SAS,director generals, head of service,PS and ambassadors.

If these people in the past have been selfless enough,Nigeria wouldn't be in the present situation we have found ourselves.

Nigerians are talented, intelligent and we have such people not in thousands but millions all around oir nation that can sail our nation appropriately but we have always being allowing ourselves to be hoodwinked by opportunistic minority denying quality people with integrity of the opportunity to serve us better.

This is not about Lagos alone but every states in the federation share the same bitter experience of bad governance and leadership.

Get your PVC ready,let us stand up and excersise our civic responsibility appropriately once and for all come 2019.

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
