Comparison Of Animal Farm With Nigeria by haywire07(m): 2:40pm On Apr 21, 2017
Animal farm by George Orwell was one of the best books of the 20th century not only because of the well articulated story line but also because of the deep political message it carried .
The book was banned in some countries such as Russia and the United States because it told of the communist belief and the incumbent revolution in Russia as at when the book was written.
However , since Animal Farm is a free book in Nigeria , then we are at liberty to make literal comparison of Animal Farm with the current Nigeria based on our perspective - but I start first then leave you intelligent guys to compare and judge the rest characters.

1.OLD MAJOR: The visionary prize middle boar who was highly regarded and everyone will make any sacrifice to hear what he had to say. He was the major inspiration for the Rebellion in Animal farm. He was the dreamer of freedom.
They were the set of people who dreamt of a great Nigeria without the need of the colonial masters . They were the likes of Funmilayo Ransome Kuti, Obafemi Awolowo , Nnamdi Azikiwe, Ahmadu Bello, Tafawa Balewa, e.t.c even Wild Christian as portrayed by Wole Soyinka in the book Aké.
Nevertheless, just like Old major, they are not alive to witness the present Nigeria

2.MOSES: The tame raven who spread stories of Sugarcandy mountain and the paradise to which animals supposedly go when they die.
These are our religious leaders (pastors and imams) who exploits religion as a tool with which to pacify the oppressed .

3.Mr Whymper : The hired solicitor .
The distinguished honorables, Sir .

4. Comrade Snowball : The pig who was in challenge for the control of the Animal Farm. Snowball is intelligent, passionate, eloquent and less subtle but he was chased out .
I present to you former president Goodluck Ebele Jonathan(PDP)

5. Comrade Napoleon: The crafty pig who emerges as the leader of the Animal farm who intimidates other animals and consolidate his power.
Welcome "our leader , president Muhammadu Buhari" (APC)

6. The loyal dogs : bred to intimidate other animals . just like the DSS, Nigerian Army , EFCC , Nigerian police e.t.c

7.Comrade Squealer: The pig who spreads Napoleon's propaganda . He justifies the pigs' monopolization of resources and spreads false statistics pointing to the farm's success . He is used to use rhetoric and language to twist the truth .He would even shed tears of praises at the mention of his leaders name .
The minister of Information , Lai Mohammed, always good at pointing the blame fingers at snowball. That's why each day we keep getting success stories from the government but we never see positive changes

8.Benjamin: The donkey who refuses to feel inspired . He believes firmly that life would remain unpleasant no matter who is in power .
The pessimistic Nigerians and mostly youths who has no interest in the management of their political system. They are the worst illiterate . They pride themselves on their political ignorance and stick out their chest to say 'I hate politics '
Bertolt Brecht said " he doesn't know,the slowpoke, that from his political non-participation comes the prostitute, the abandoned child, the robber and worst of all, corrupt officials, the lackeys of exploitative multinational corporations"
Don't be a Benjamin .

9.The seven commandments : The commandment that was wisely stated and easily twisted to suit the pigs situation . It was occasionally changed as other animals couldn't remember what was written there though boldly written on a tarred wall.
Our dear constitution . We all have it handy but only a few could interpret it because we do not read it not even all lawyers do

10.Comrade Boxer: The cart-horse with incredible strength, dedication and loyalty plays a major role in the prosperity of Animal Farm. He shows much devotion to the Animal farm but little idea to think about then independently . He naively trusts the pigs to make all his decisions for him. His watchwords are " Napoleon is always right " and "ill work harder " .
I'll say he is very good but just as foolish as Benjamin.
Hmmm, I know many supporters of snowball,the wailers ,will think I'm referring to the "Zombies"

No, we are all hardworking, good spirited , dedicated Comrade boxer but we have been reduced to paupers by Those pigs, who acts only in their selfish interest, looting and justifying it at the court. Of course Boxer could recite only A B C D , each time he tried to add E F G H , he would forget the first four letters. It is a weakness the pigs are using against us but yet we refused to realize it . After every of their atrocities, they will walk free because they have the means of twisting the commandments.
And guess what , when the get to their lounge , they'd say "ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS" .
