Sapiosexuality:
Democracy is an imperfect system but…it works. In democratic system, the aspirations and wills of the majority is foisted on the minority who may be weak, sounder, healthier and more suited to decide what happens in a country. The people with the right tools to decide what is right may be few in number while the number of people with zero iota of what constitutes good governance in large numbers. In that number, they scream, they gyrate and shout down thoughts that could cause damage to their evident ignorance. They join their poor forces and impose on their republic, leaders without tools to lead or the means to understand how to understand leadership.


A foolish majority is a threat to the growth of any state and wherever they abound the country is bound to suffer. They are vocal and the odour of their words suffocates the few people on the other side. Today’s Nigeria is a perfect specimen to look at. Prior to the election of the grandmaster of failures, President Muhammadu Buhari, it was evident to a few that he was not in a position to understand what to offer. It was evident he was not a good manager of people and resources. He was a religious fanatic and a tribal supremacist and nothing was hidden…but that is for those who knew they had to know to decide. It was not hidden to those who know that before taking any decision they need understand the nature of the cases involved. To the majority, who are afraid to read or reason, it was hidden.

While the nature of the man was evident for all to see but just like Galilee Galileo’s telescope, only a few dared look into what was common knowledge. The majority, due to the poor education their sorry minds received from the propaganda mills of the politicians, saw anything contrary to the masters food as dog shit and wouldn’t dare torture their minds if on gazing it sticks. It was very evident that the man had nothing working for him up there where reasoning happens but members of his team joined hands and heads with him and were able to work out something with the poor informed masses and his Loki self.


They simply sold the majority what they wanted to hear, what they needed to hear and promised ‘the people’ what they knew they couldn’t do for them. They bought it all and we are here today. If the people were well informed a man unworthy to be the Chairman of a Local Government wouldn’t be President. If they were many in the know, then Democracy would have saved us. If the majority of Nigerian Voters were smart enough to vote, if every adult that voted that day had the intelligence required to determine who leads a state, if every one of them hadn’t allowed sentiments to rule over their reasoning, if the people that voted actually had the interest of the people at heart, the level of blood flowing in the land today wouldn’t be this thick. As the Nile supplied Egypt Irrigation, the blood of Nigerians is now the reason Nigeria is still alive. Today a kakistocrat wished Happy Democracy Day.

The point is, democracy only works where ‘the people’ understand the nature and implications of the choices before them. Nigerians suffer and will keep suffering until they become smarter. For those who are down and doing nothing about it, democracy is a scourge. An ignorant weak man can easily be bought by a corrupt politician and he suffers consequences. An ignorant and weak people were bought in large numbers and after we spoke of ‘the people’ with their intelligence in sight, we mourn daily. What a shame! What Buhari got us is even worse than cancer because while cancer kills but noncommunicable, hate, pain, torture and other vices in his resume, kill and are communicable.

Every opinion isn’t golden and shouldn’t be treated as such. There are bad opinions and choices and we are victims of a very bad choice. We are the product of the effects of democracy on a dull population without the intelligence of discernment. It is time to test the intelligence of our voters. They have plagued us with so much illness, continuing will lead to our doom. We need to test the people before they are issued voter cards. Only then will democracy be government of the people. Old age should not be the only criteria for voting, intelligence should come first. I hope our disease doesn’t go malignant in 2019. God help us. God? That’s what the typical Nigerian will say after electing a misfit.
