I still feel pity for the youth of Nigeria, but not in the same way I used to. True, they have attempted to replace a system that they thought was offensive , but they have sadly substituted it with one that is so completely perfidious and so amorphous that it can hardly be decently described as a system. The saddest part of the consequences of this travesty of progress is that most still refuse to accept that a grave error has indeed been made and consequently still continue to chant senseless slogans and mantra in worship of a crumbling totem . If the generations before them had submitted to their errors and remorsefully declared themselves a "wasted generation", the ones coming behind I today again christen with no pity at all, a gormless generation.
I used also to consider myself as on the side of the masses ; until it finally dawned upon me that anyone who professes such a frivolous virtue, in Nigeria, is a deluded fool. The masses do not know what they want. The masses are those who have no greater joy than to spend three quarters of their day in the pursuit of the destruction of those better than them, and the rest in the pursuit of pleasures having to do with either religion or football or liquor or all. The masses are those who have completely convinced themselves that wealth comes wholly as a result of chance or of theft. There is indeed a spirit of Poverty and of Spiritual Destruction , and it presides where the so called masses gather.

Worse than gormless. They are destined for everlasting suffering on earth.
