Nigerian Problem Today. How did we come this far? - Kingsley Oligie

Nigerian Democracy; Divide and Rule System.

During the Soviet dictatorship of Joseph Stalin. He was a brutal dictator with mind of his own. On one fateful day, Stalin invited his trusted senior advisors and some media henchmen to a meeting with intent to make a point using the most evocative of methods.

When everyone was gathered at the barnyard, he called for a live chicken and vigorously clenched it in one hand. With the other hand, he then began to pluck out the chicken’s feathers in handfuls. The poor bird squawked under the torment but Stalin kept at denuding the chicken until it convulsed with agony. Remarkably unperturbed by the feeling of disgust obvious on the faces of the people too afraid to express their unease to the dictator, he continued until the chicken was completely un-feathered.

He then put the bird down by a small heap of grain and stood up to finish the last act while the people curiously observed the chicken move towards the grain. As the chicken started to peck, Stalin put his hand into his jacket pocket and pulled out another fistful of grain, putting it out in front of the wounded bird. To the utter surprise of the transfixed spectators, the chicken managed a weak-kneed stagger back to Stalin and started to peck the fresh grain right out of the hand that moments ago had inflicted unbearable pain on it. Stalin had made his point — loud and clear.

He turned to the people and said, “People are like this chicken. It doesn’t matter how much pain you inflict on them. The moment you offer them what they need, they will still follow you and turn to you for their survival.”


"They will think you are hero forever. they will  forget that, you are responsible for  their sorrowful situation in the first place"

Breath Taking, Isn't it?

Now! Take a look  at the Nigerian Situation Today, take a survey at those they call their Heroes, they are same people who plunged Nigeria into the situation she is right now. Same people who are responsible for their predicament.

These so called Leaders divide the electorate along Religion, Tribalism and Political affiliations to justify their ill action while they are busy looting the common wealth of this Great Nation of ours called Nigeria.

Let's put an end to chicken mentality ravaging our society, stand by the truth and do the right thing. Good policies should be applauded while bad ones should be jointly condemned in its totality.

Whats is your take on this?
