Sometimes, it becomes
difficult to know whose conduct is more despicable and injurious to the
Nigerian society, the leaders or the led? It was most unfortunate that an
otherwise sane, rational and objective person could say publicly and nationally
that Urhobos are doing better under Buhari.
This is the height of mindless
sycophancy and the worst debasement of a major ethnic nationality. Nothing can
be farther from the truth, as Urhobos have occupied more responsible positions
both in the Federal Executive Council and the NDDC. They will rise again post
Buhari having been brought very low in the Buhari led administration.
No one likes the idea of
being classified as a sycophant. Yet without question, there are legions of
followers who sing the praises of their paymasters in sickening fashion, all in
the hopes of garnering favour and being a part of the in-crowd.
That is the rationale for needless
clapping and singing hosannas every time a political appointment is made.
The way and manner some
people have been carrying on since a new EDP was appointed for NDDC is grossly
misplaced, because people are appointed to offices out of the judgment that
they will be able to function and accomplish the duties associated with the
office. Any other alternative
perspective to that settled expectation, is irrational and retarded.
The question: is this the
first time an Urhobo is appointed into NDDC, the answer is a capital NO! The
first and second Managing Directors were Urhobo. An Urhobo was also a
Commissioner. That all these positions brought about the development of
Urhoboland is uncertain.
That some of these hosanna
group are a shameless is no longer debatable to all sensible and rational
persons, what perplexes people the most is why they are so shameless, for their
shamelessness puts them in the category of lower animals -- they never feel
shame. How lowly dishonest bum can they sink?
It may be that during
their lifetime, they will not be formally judged as to their culpability or
lack of culpability for their acts and omissions but judgement they will
definitely get.
While it is okay to earn
your living irrespective of your political affiliations that change more
constantly than the British weather, it is morally unjustifiable and INSULTING
to drag in the mud, the name of a dynamic, resourceful and intelligent fifth
largest ethnic group in the country in the game of pleasing paymasters, earning
a living or searching for relevance.
