VOICE OF DISSONANCE AND THE NIGERIAN POLITY (1999-2016) (Part2)



The disservice done to Nigeria by the ‘must unity group’ ranges from their inability to look into the causes of the unquenchable voice of dissonance. They are not even ready to compromise any policy or do anything to assuage these dissenting voices. They sing the symphony of the dissenting voices but when the grab power at the centre; their voice changes to status quo. This assertion goes beyond the present politicking of APC and PDP! It centres on the elite whether in PDP or APC, or Non-Partisan.

These “microscopic few” sit down and decide the fate of the nation according to their interest. They are ready to crush in totality any voice that speaks against the status quo. They believe that the sovereignty of Nigeria is non-negotiable! Therefore, anybody that brings a brilliant idea on how to move the wheel of this (gi)ant, is systematically labeled as a traitor, terrorist, fundamentalist, fanatic, non-patriotic, rebel, separatist, or even a Biafran! 

The moment they branded the voices of wisdom with any of the above, the next thing that follows is ‘CRUSH THEM!’ The military will be deployed to such zones with brigand of secret services and the voice will be annihilated. Despite the brute force of silencing theses voices, they keep on resurrecting in different dimensions. The question the elite have not asked is WHY are these voices coming up from different parts of the country whenever power shifts? Should we continue to use the OBJ method so as to keep peace in the two volatile regions of Nigeria? What happens to other peaceful parts of the nation? Should they be volatile before their voice is being heard? Is it violence the only voice these elite hear? What can be done to silence these voices forever?

The inability to ask these questions and seek answers to it from the elite, ‘the must unity group’, is the greatest disservice they have rendered to this country. The worst from them is whenever any person wants to seek solution to these myriads questions, the person or group of persons will be crushed and annihilated. Because of this fear, self-preservation becomes the order of the day and no one dares to ask.

Ndeewonu!
