What happens when you take a position not rightfully yours in an election by rigging violence, snatch-and-run-with-it, no matter what you do, things may never work out
When you take a position that isn't rightfully yours, especially through unethical means like election rigging or violence, it can lead to a multitude of problems. For one, you'll likely be plagued by guilt and the constant fear of being exposed. This can make it difficult to make decisions or take actions with confidence.¹

Moreover, when you're in a position of power illegitimately, you may struggle to gain the respect and trust of your constituents or colleagues. This can lead to a lack of cooperation and support, making it challenging to accomplish your goals.

Additionally, the consequences of your actions can be severe. You may face legal repercussions, damage to your reputation, and even social ostracism. As Hyman Rickover once said, "Responsibility is a unique concept... You may share it with others, but your portion is not diminished. You may delegate it, but it is still with you...". In other words, you can't escape the responsibility that comes with your actions.

It's also worth noting that taking something that isn't rightfully yours can have a profound impact on your relationships and overall well-being. As discussed in the context of the eighth commandment, "You shall not steal," taking something that doesn't belong to you can damage your relationships and lead to a sense of disconnection.²

Ultimately, taking a position that isn't rightfully yours can lead to a never-ending cycle of problems and challenges. It's essential to prioritize integrity, honesty, and fairness in all aspects of life, especially when it comes to positions of power and leadership.

Alas,
my friend, thy troubles do bring to mind the days of my own misfortunes. Verily, I was but a poor lad in the service of my uncle Reuben, who, in his old age, did serve as the keeper of time in a great school in the city of Lagos. His task was a simple one—to ring the great bell that summoned the students to rise at dawn and to retire at night.

Yet age doth weary the body, and so did he entrust unto me the ringing of the morning bell, for he had taken upon himself the toil of a watchman in the neighborhood, seeking an extra coin to sustain his days.

But, lo, my phone was as wretched as thine, if not worse. When I set the alarm for the fifth hour, it did betray me and sound not until the sixth. By the time I reached the bell stand, the sun had already claimed more of the morning than was permitted.

Oft did my uncle stand before the great master of the school, bearing the wrath of his lateness. And so, on the fateful night ere it happened again, I resolved to outwit my treacherous device. If it must steal an hour, then would I set it for the fourth, that even in its mischief, I might yet be on time.

Alas, fate mocked me, for it did leap not one hour, but three! And so did the bell ring not until the seventh hour. The students in their delight, rejoiced, for they had won two hours more of slumber.

But my uncle? His wrath was terrible to behold. By the eighth hour, he was before the principal, and when he returned, his countenance was as that of an angry beast. He sought not to hear my plea, but with the swiftness of a soldier long past his prime, did he lay hands upon me, casting me to the ground. His boots, though worn, did find their mark upon my back and my head, and ere I could utter a word, he flung my bag at me and shut his door against me.

With naught but shame and despair, I called upon my sister, who in her mercy sent me five thousand naira . With this did I board the night bus to Onitsha. Yet my coin was lacking, and so did I stand for twelve hours in that wretched carriage. And lo, the man beside me was crueller than my uncle! The moment sleep did steal upon me and I leaned against him, he struck me with such force upon my belly that I dared not slumber again till journey’s end.

Thus was I returned to the trade I had once sworn never to touch again—the trade of scrap. Yet fortune doth not abandon the man who toils with steadfast heart.

Take heart, my friend, for the gods do not forsake those who endure. In time, shall He who watches over thee lift thee from the burden of debt and make thee a lender. And the purse that is now as empty as the nest of a bird long gone shall one day be filled with gold.
Witty grin

SmartyPants:
Are you saying we don't need dedicated teacher training institutes anymore? Note that the issues with excessive ministries, which are duplicating functions, are not necessarily the same here. Bear in mind that we have a teeming youth population - are the existing tertiary facilities good enough to accommodate all?
You forget that our universities also have several education certificates issued every year to graduates. 🤔🤔

You didn't see where he gave this as the reason?

The minister revealed that despite budgetary allocation to the Colleges of Education, some of them have less than 1000 students

Then they should merge and close down redundant ones just like we've been advocating for the reduction/merger of the number of ministries and parastatals undecided undecided undecided undecided undecided
