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.

WHILE WE WERE PRAYING: BY AN ANONYMOUS WRITER.

After independence, in order to build a great nation, each country went to work. But in Nigeria, after independence, our people went to pray and fast. So, while we were praying, Malaysia came here and took our palm seedlings and built a great factory of it. While we were praying, Singapore went into investment in technology. While we were praying, India went into ICT. While we were praying, China went to massive industrialization. While we were shouting Allah Alakuba! UAE went into massive infrastructural development. While we were binding and casting Lucifer, Japan went into technological development. While we were speaking in tongues, Denmark went into education of her citizens. While we were mounting big speakers in our places of worship, USA was mounting man on the moon. After our prayers, God, being a wise God decided to reward us according to our labour. Since those that went into industrialization, technology, infrastructural development, ICT, education etc has been re...

THE FEEDING BOTTLE NATION

                                         THE FEEDING BOTTLE NATION                                           BY CHIBU NDUBUISI 15/05/2017 Peace be to you. Feeding bottle is used to feed infants because they are yet to develop the capacity to feed themselves. It is designed in such a way that the feed tickles down to the dependent infant. An infant that uses feeding bottle does not understand what it takes to make the feed, but the parent or guardian are hopeful that one day the infant will grow up and begin to feed him/herself. When this scenario does not play out as expected, then we assume that there is a problem. As illustrated above, so it is with the country N...
