KEMI BADENOCH: Breaking Free From The Chains of Stale Ideas

Nigerians have, for far too long, remained tethered to stale ideas that perpetuate the chains of oppression. These ideas have not only stifled growth but have created a system where mediocrity thrives, leaving the people in a constant cycle of suffering. This tragic acceptance of a broken system must end if we are to reclaim our dignity and build a society that prioritizes the well-being of its citizens.

Take Kemi, for instance. She is currently in Nigeria, not out of disdain for her people or her homeland, but driven by a deep-seated frustration with the system that has reduced her country to a haven for political thieves and thugs. She despises a system that enables corruption, rewards incompetence, and oppresses the very people it is meant to serve. Her frustration, however, extends beyond the political elite. It includes the countless citizens who idolize these oppressors or choose silence in the face of gross injustice and the blatant disregard for their right to a decent standard of living.

The apathy and misplaced loyalty of many Nigerians have become a significant obstacle to meaningful change. Idolizing political figures who blatantly disregard the people's welfare only entrenches the systemic failures that plague the nation. This blind allegiance fosters a culture where truth is suppressed, mediocrity is celebrated, and progress is continually delayed.

To break free from these chains, Nigerians must reject the stale ideas that sustain this vicious cycle. There must be a collective effort to hold leaders accountable, demand transparency, and champion policies that prioritize development and equity. Silence and complacency are no longer options; speaking the truth, no matter how inconvenient, is the first step toward liberation.

Kemi's story is a reflection of the anger and frustration felt by many Nigerians, both at home and abroad. It is a call to action for every citizen to rise above the chains of outdated thinking and demand better for themselves and future generations. The path to a better Nigeria begins with breaking free from the shackles of oppression, complacency, and blind allegiance. Only then can the nation truly realize its potential.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
