THE DICE IS STILL ROLLING

By - YUSUF MUBARAQ AUTHORITY


"After a storm, comes a calm and after the dark night comes the glorious dawn. Tough time never lasts but tough people do, sooner or later the man who wins is the man who thinks he can!"

The above caption clearly illustrates how all things are transient and how inevitable the situation changes hands.


"We are all naked to death," says Steve Job.
Power above all other phenomenal is transient and its transiency is paramount so as for the current holder of it not to be tyrannical.

Constant and consistent changing of power is a major factor that beautify our nascent democracy. It is undemocratic and uncivil for an individual to hold on to power for ages, if by virtue of death he's not removed surely by the revolution he must leave, hence transiency of power and all that relates with it.


The Saraki's of Kwara is one pointer to this, having ruled the state for more than four decades with many achievements and setback, power in his transiency swings against them at the recently held general elections, that's to say "even the mighty can fall".

I leave my audience to judge the circumstances that led to the eventual downfall of a once-powerful dynasty.
The current administration rode on to power on a platter of gold and massive goodwill was enjoyed across the state by each candidate.
Folks at home are tired hence the inevitable clamors for power change.
The rolling of the dice once again swings to the other side of the divides and the once-powerful scrambled for shelter.

It's so easy to manage defeat but more complex to manage a victory.
Defeat teaches us among many things, humility, perseverance, and patience to mention but few.

Defeat has a great way of influencing people in a positive manner which will eventually shape their inevitable coming if Allah so wishes.
Victory, on the other hand, came with arrogance and the thinking of 'we are better than thou' which in most times consumed a winner and rendered him/her useless.

Making a mockery of the Saraki dynasty is a way of strengthening their political force but the people in the other divides seem not to realize this or are novice of it.
Maybe just maybe the current "power rangers" thought is all over for the dynasty?
Do they not realize what they enjoyed in terms of free entrance to governance can hitherto swing against them too?
Have they forgot the popular saying during the electioneering campaign "Even if a goat is on the ballot, he will win any PDP candidate"?
That's to say it's neither their pedigree nor their might earned them their individual position of today but by the dictate of Almighty Allah.


The rolling dice is yet to stop and will not for any reasons stops and if the APC is not able to manage its victory well then the outcast dynasty that is able to manage its defeat is on the course of resurfacing.

Let us all have it at the back of our mind that nothing lasts forever and transiency is inevitable.
Be the best you can be and leave the rest for people's assessment.
As the situation stands now I see nothing but the eventual coming of a deposed dynasty.
As we marched towards 2023, I pray for easy and calmness in our darling country.
