Those of us who have watched the video clips of the just ended charade or say katigenian war in the River State House of Assembly will quickly agree with me that our politicians should be subjected to Freudian psychology of psycho-analysis. They need clinical psychologist to examine their medulla oblongata to know if their senses are working or if they just existing in state of per-excellence. It is so disheartening, disenchanted and abashed to watch our politician commit impunity and rape our hard earned democracy on a broad day light. What insolence! What impudent! What disrespect! How can our political class trample on constitutionalism? It is obvious that our legislatures of National and State assemblies have turned the chamber into a theater of absurd and madness, disregarding the constitution. Our democracy is leaked, marred and intertwined with sycophancy, lawlessness, thugs, insecurity, disobedience to the rule of law, dictatorship as it is epitomized by our conspicuous consumption, money laundering and corruption. Some sacred cows are treated with impunity while some political dame gods who are guilty of several impeachable offences are there in charge and holding the entire country and polity in captive and nobody is doing anything about it. There is tyranny in the whole nation, tyranny in the universities, tyranny in the society. There is economic strangulation in the entire republic and nobody cares. What baffles me in Nigeria is the manner with which we absorb shock, suffering and smiling, allowing few persons to enjoy and lavish wealth at the expense of the poor masses. The politicians are getting richer by the seconds and the poor who voted them into power are getting poorer on a very high rate. Where are the philosophical kings who ruled the Greek city States, especially Athens? We now have polecats, jesters, idiots, nincompoops, as politicians. There is no official opposition in our democracy. We are moving towards one party state. Is that not totalitarianism, tyranny, and total dictatorship? Lastly, I want to warn that even as the short Nigerian memory is being traumatized everyday by our leaders, ranging from the incessant rape of our states, political intimidations to abuse of power especially in connivance of the federal might, it will be a striking repugnance to extinguish true justice, equity and good conscience of the Nigerian nation.
