THE VULTURES ARE GATHERING


          THE VULTURES ARE GATHERING

(C) 2018               CHIBU  NDUBUISI        30/07/2018           WEEK 31

“The Vulture. Of all the creatures in the jungle, he has it the easiest. The hard work of others becomes his work; their failure to survive becomes his nourishment. Keep an eye on the Vulture - while you are hard at work, he is circling above. Do not fight him, join him.”
― Robert Greene, The 48 Laws of Power

    









Peace be upon you


As we approach general elections in Nigeria come 2019, we must not forget the drama of political coalition prior to the 2015 general elections. It is now clear that politics of populism always leads to tyranny. Alliances are now renegotiated and more marriages of inconveniences are entered, all geared, towards the aim of retaining power, attaining power or wrestling power from those who think they have tried but are not appreciated by the electorates or the oligarchs as the case may be.

The Nigerian electorates are now wiser and more informed by the plethora of alternatives at their disposal. The era of government propaganda is well over because of the advantages of the new media which has greatly increased information at everyone’s door.

Why compare Nigerian politician to vultures in the first place? The reason is simple: they are gathering to make sure that they get a vantage position in devouring the decomposing carcass of the Nigerian state. 

My advice to the Nigerian electorate at this point is a word from Kevin Nealon that “Don't play dead with a vulture. That's exactly what they want”. So, Nigerian electorates don’t show apathy to politics by pretending that you don’t want or not interested, if you do, their policies will eventually turn us all to carcasses.

Come out and participate

Peace be with you.

                                                                                      Rising Africa: A Narrative of Hope                                           07/08/2017 By Chibu Ndubuisi Peace be with you. In the year 2000, The Economist magazine called Africa "the hopeless continent" hence I am presenting a  narrative of hope about  "Our Rising Africa". The story of Africa is not about hunger,poverty, famine,war,  corruption,  tyranny, dictatorship,  terrorism,  child marriage,  genitial mutiliation, unfavourable inheritance laws for women, advance fee fraud, kidnapping,  ineffectual bureaucracy,  failure of leadership, workers not paid their salaries, sexual offences against children, genocide,  poor infrastructures,  diseases etc.i want to present a narrative of work in progress in African countries and how hope is been given back to people who once had "paradise lost". In their book, Execution: the Discipline of Getting Things Done(2002), aut

RESIST ARREST

                                                        RESIST ARREST                                                   CHIBU NDUBUISI 08/2017 Peace be to you. To resist anything requires knowledge and courage not to give in or yield to antics of entanglement. Captivity stifles and limits.  Captivity is not only when you are holed up in a physical place, it is more than that.  Some have developed  life patterns that resist unhealthy, unproductive and needless distractions which stares at us on a daily basis, by the choices they made, they resisted arrest. while some just flow with the current passively and are arrested by ldeas that have fractured the world.  Eighty two(82) Chibok girls were released from captivity by Boko Haram terrorist organisation in a prisoner swap deal yesterday(7/5/2017). The negotiating teams had a noble obligation of  making sure that no matter the provocations, human life matters.   That human life must be protected and provided for at all cost. They

CURSED OR THE CAUSE.A LESSON IN MISCALCULATION AND MISADVENTURE.   (1) C (2018)                     CHIBU NDUBUISI                           02/04/2018     WEEK 14 “Be careful what you pray for because you may get it and regret”              Peace be upon you. As part of the electioneering jingle repertoire of former Governor of Anambra State Peter Obi, who kicked off his campaign by waxing philosophical in 2003, by posing two questions to the electorate, he asked; are we Cursed or are we the Curse in Anambra state? Taking into account the plunder and pillage the state has been subjected to by political gladiators with the connections to abduct a sitting Governor (Chris Ngige) and the support of the central government.   For many months, teachers were not paid their salaries during the era of Mbadiniju, who turned from an elected Governor to elected evangelist; he absconded and displayed negligence of the duty of statecraft of fashioning good policies, to declarin
