DECAMPING OF POLITICAL OFFICE HOLDER: AN INDICATION OF A BETTER NATION OR A REBRAND OF NATIONAL PROBLEM.
Most of the headlines that ravaged the news portals(both the prints,TV stations and Radio stations inclusive) in Nigeria throughout the pre-elections and post-elections period had "Decamp'' as the action word. Due to the misappropriation, misinterpretation and misconceptions of the word ''Decamp'', listeners, viewers, and readers had been swayed off. Therefore they unjustly judge the word and sometimes propose to abolish it. That is why I am here today to debunk the usage without surmising. But before I proceed, however it is absolutely imperative to give honour to whom honour is due. I salute you, the moderators, chairperson, panel of judges, accurate timekeeper, co-debaters, fellow Nairalanders, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Sobaloju Israel a student of Obafemi Awolowo University Ile-Ife, I am here today to speak for the statement that says ''Decamping of Political office holder: an indication of a better nation''
In our bid to understand why decamping of political office holder is an indication of a better Nation, it is, perhaps wise and appropriate for us to understand what we mean by the term political decamping.
For a better undersanding, The term decamp is quite clearly attributed to the political world. Political decamping, therefore, means suddenly leaving a party for another.
The political office holders of a nation are the determinants of her development, for the period they are imminent in the office. Therefore, if the citizens expects good governance, and development, the political class should be independent on steps they take concerning their political platform. It stands to reason that any politician in his or her right senses, would strictly obey the tenets of good governance and the citizens betterment in his decisions.
One of the holy books emphatically cited ''Bad company corrupts good manners.'' when a poltician(party member) is surrounded with fraudsters, or individuals guilty of all vertical offences. His or her operations will seem like a seed growing amidst thorns. In no time, the thorns will overshadow and kill the seed as it germinates. So, therefore, when a good politician is operating among bad peers, their evil deed will overshadow his works, and even corrupt him. To be rigid on these, I will like to infer a story from the Bible. In the holy book, when God wanted to bless Abram, he called him out of his father's (Teran) house. Why? In my view, because if he bless him in his father's house, the corrupted ones therein will exhorbitantly exploit him, and make all his blessings a waste. My opponent may opine, were they not supported by my so-called bad company during elections? I also, will like to ask, was Abram not born and bred in his father's house?
On the other hand, we should see political decamping(when justly done) as a blessing to our constitution in these generation, because it gives politicians the right to outrightly protest any forceful claims by their political parties or leaders. Instead of negating actions of decampees, we citizens should see to holding our political leaders responsible for their manifestoes during electioneering campaigns.
Unequivocally, it is a truism that in politics there is no parmanent friends but permanent rights. One veritable instrument by which politicians give eloquent expression, of this concept of parmanet rights as against parmanent friends is through decamping from one political camp to another whenever the individual's right is threatened or arbitrated by the camp. For avoidance of doubt, the 1999 constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria (as amended). Accordingly, sections 68(1) (g) and 109 (1) (g) of the constitution copiously gauranteed the right to decamp in events of factions or crisis. Fortunately, this is an advantage to the growth of our tender democracy. In recent times, one of the major reasons why political office holders are not effective in their duties is because of the pressure applied on them by their political platform leaders in choosing their political counterparts(ministers, commisioners, aides among others). Whereas this people imposed on them to be placed in this positions are people of bad governance record. This may lead to segregation or division. The best solution in view of the rights such political office holder has, by the constitution, if the pressure is hyped, he can decamp to another party where he will be able to fufil is aims for the citizens betterment. Decamping is a blessing indeed!
Political decamping, sure, do have a negative effect on our democracy, when unjustly done because of self interest. But it's sure a catalyst in our constitution, that gives enablement to politicians for freedom of their will. With this, I will buttress my assertions with what Atiku Abubakar said on why he decamped from Peoples Democratic Party to All Progressive Party ''My decision may not satisfy some of my friends and associates. In the end, however, I have to put the interest of our country first. This country has done so much for me and it deserves all we can do to make our people better.''
Indeed, without fear of any contradiction, I emphatically maintain that if our nation wants to be great, and our democracy to survive, economically, socially, among others. The law that backs political decamping should be strengthened, and any barrier or punishment attached to it should be totally forbidden- exactly what we need for building a better nation.
I'd love to end with this statement from Dr Goodluck Jonathan(GCFR) [President of the Federal republic of Nigeria] ''let us forget our religious and ethnic diversities and focus on our nation's development no matter the cost.'' the cost may be decamping from a great party to a poor one.
Come off the bias today
Thanks for reading.

Being a Nigerian is gradually changing into something else. No one wants to be the same anymore, besides, being yourself doesn’t make you feel satisfied. We act a little bit weird to stand out. Before reading further, remember, you want to be weird and not crazy! Finding the thin line between both is a matter of perception.

Step 1

Get your own unique hangout joints and give it a weird name. Talk about your secret hangout spot with your friends and share with them the timeless culture surrounding it without inviting them to your secret spot. This will raise eyebrows

Step 2

Follow non popular holidays like 420, ok, 420 is a little bit popular to our Nigerian stoners, talk excessively about a top scientific like the human genome project and the 2045 singularity event. People are definitely going stare and associate weirdness with your personality.

Step 3

Don’t join in the ignorant topics of discussion. Sound knowledgeable and intelligent. This is a very high weirdness marker, people are going respect your weirdness, you will lose fake friends in the process but the real and important friends will be yours to keep and nurture.

Care for little creatures like ants, cockroaches and spiders, yes I said spiders. Trust our naija babes, this is where they come into this discussion fully. Caring for little things like that is a huge sign that you are asking to join the ranks of the single dudes out there. Naija babes don’t love soft pussies, they love the men strong, ignorant and obedient.

Step 4

Eating like Edo witches and wizards. Eating eba with fork and knife, using hand to eat jollof rice at KFC, eating indomie and bread at your girlfriend’s house and voicing out your annoyance at her laziness, trust me, most Nigerian guys accept all nonsense from their babes. The babes will definitely put you in the weird zone for been real about your emotions when it comes to food.

Step 5

Laughing at the little things is a huge marker for Yaba left type or weirdness, I am personally guilty of this. Added with my other nonconformist hobbies, doing and saying things people know but are too chicken to say or act. Playing cloth games with your girlfriend, using costumes when engaging in sexual acts, this is my personal favourite, and yes, I am absolutely weird this way!

Step 6

As a Nigerian, you are programmed not to speak good English for the fear of been labelled as a phony. Screw that train of thinking, I speak perfectly good English. Use words like amazing, cunnilingus in sentences and refuse to explain the meaning. Still want get creative? Mash words together like Smartmugu, please what is a smartmugu? Speak with funny assents, be Bostwanian today, South African tomorrow, Ghanian on Thursdays, the bold ones go for Spanish on Friday nights after a few vodka shots of course. And if all fails, gibberish still works, literally speak in tongues till you get the attention you crave for.

Step 7

Talk to animals, inanimate objects and of course, talk to yourself too. Not that I am advertising Yaba left, but you get the idea. This will make you popular on a weird level and people will definitely pay attention. Do this all the time and you will be put on the hall of fame wall in your school, office, police station, hospital…etc

Step 8

Become an atheist or an agnostic. Be vocal about your choice in the same way the Christians and Muslims are vocal about their religion. Caution though, don’t overdo it, choose your battle field carefully and be wise. Been weird is far different from been hospitalised or dead.

Step 9

Change your wardrobe to bright colour, clashing patterns and crazy textures. You can’t successfully be weird without looking weird as well. Cry when reading books, cry hard when watching movies, cry when making love, cry when having rough sex, cry when in missionary position, cry when collecting money from debtors, cry when your Samsung galaxy phone battery fully charges, and cry when you see your partner’s unclothedness for the first time.

Step 10

Think weird. Be yourself, free the inner beast in you. Don’t pay attention to what others think. Those who matter won’t mind who you really are. No one has the authority to have a say in what rocks your boat. Once you start acting weird, word will get around that you are different, and it’s not entirely a bad thing, infact, it comes with lots of benefits!

this won't make u look weired it will make u look nut
