Intellectual Suicide

Education is not primarily a process of storing information but predominantly a procedure of awakening the mind for creative and productive thoughts. We suffer more from self-built failures than that of our enemy’s designs. It is suicidal for the oppressed to bank on advices from his oppressors in order to break loose from a slave chain set by oppressors to hold him down.

The conceptual West is made up of nations that inherently put profit over people, especially, when the affected people are of different race or nationality. Their sole driven ambition remains, “as far as money comes in, humans living in distant lands can go down”.

Nigerians are gasping for air to breath from the knees of the Neocolonialist’s representatives among our ranks on our necks. Any leader that seeks advice from recalcitrant oppressors, will keep driving backward while hoping to move forward. The present Nigerian government’s romance with the West, especially with France, which is the most vicious among Western nations, pose a huge threat to the survival of Nigerians and Nigeria as a nation.

A leader, who leads with an enemy’s advices, will be far from making positive advancements. Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger Republic are on their way to liberating themselves from the web traps of Neocolonialism, while some Western puppets and contented slaves in Africa are doing all means to stop them in order to please the West they can never please. With the event that transpired between Niger Republic military junta and ECOWAS, one could tell the side where ECOWAS pitched their tents, which certainly are not to the advantage of the African population.

Nigerian government must do away with advices from INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND (IMF) and go into committed partnership with BRICS nations for no one gets to his destination travelling in the opposite direction.

IMF is not a friend to the African societies for its policies are TROJAN HORSES, militating against the very survival of African economies. There is no beating around the bush about it! Their packages for Africans are sepulchres designed with an embrocation of fool’s gold. Its policies are deliberate Western political concoctions of manipulative schemes to suffocate African economies and promote regional insecurity for the continuation of Western exploitation of the African wealth. Who will dance nicely when the musical rhythms from pipers are muddled? Only a lunatic would believe he will.

It is unfortunate that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Articles only exists in the lips of men for human lions never stop enjoying and nourishing their bodies eating delicious meals while other fellow human animals yowl, losing their precious lives in agonizing form being the meals.

Africans must research, promote and protect a culture of their own governance, problem solving and decision making fashions that would be systematized into coherent body of knowledge engraved in their school curriculums or they shall keep perishing in the deep Blue Sea of intellectual suicide.
