The Arbitrary Use Of Power To Quench Self Pomposity -By Mohammed Adam

Anybody who sequentially follows what inappropriately happens in Nigeria at the appropriate time of expunging what is inappropriate from the appropriateness will unequivocally deduce that things are getting more exacerbating than we actually envisage them to assuage. The inordinate use of political position by those who voraciously need power to match who they want to be matched without being equally matched (by an arm of government responsible for arbitration and settlement of dispute) so they will continue to torment people’s live the way black Africans were subjected to hardships and a highest level of slavery. Nigeria is at the peak of perplexity, Being at its peak of perplexity does not guaranteed the end of the world but guarantees that with unconditional struggle, courage and strenuous effort to confront these expired politicians that undermined our country in 20 Century and undermining it in 21 Century Nigeria would balance.

It’s a filthy decision for a president who reiterates his commitment to fighting corruption, change country’s negativity to positivity, putting things in order and getting what went wrong rearranged well, but all of a sudden arrive at a wrongfully unilateral decision to borrow money from dormant Bank accounts of dead people whose family have been wallowing in an abject poverty and perhaps did all they could to reclaim the money supposed to legitimately inherited. Instead of president Buhari to compassionately initiate an avenue for those who rightfully have to benefit from the money being kept in different Bank Accounts that seemed to be in a dormant status for over a period of sixth years, he is moving inexorably to manipulate the process of getting the money to only God knows where the money will be saved, who would benefit from the money, and what the money would be used for.

The arbitrary use of power to quench self’s pomposity in Nigeria today is a kind of business investment that does not requires a shareholder to sign any legal document nor is it requires Memorandum of Understanding from the supposed beneficiaries who are hopelessly getting more impoverished. It thoroughly requires deliberations to negotiate and regularize a deal between the overall father of the looters who is a president of Nigeria, the upper and lower looters known as the Senates and House of Representative Members. These gang of crooks appear to be the prerequisite of the arbitrary use of power to quench Buhari’s pomposity in Nigerian Democracy.

Before president Buhari signs Finance Act 2020 into law, Nigerians did not surmised the appearance of this sharp corrupt practice where a president could borrow money from the Bank Accounts of those that did not used their accounts for over sixth years. After he signed the Finance Act 2020 into law, presumably, his supporters were out of curiosity dancing and saying that the sign of Finance Act 2020 into law by president Major General Buhari is indeed a victory for the country and for the people of Nigeria. The members of the opposition party might interpret it different from those in the ruling party. Every camp must have divergent views towards particular issue and that’s how politics plays in democratic society.

Nigerians were in the first place being outsmarted the moment Buhari wept when he lost election to former president Dr. Goodluck Jonathan in 2011, they will always be outwitted by Buhari. Just as he always does what he likes, when he likes it and at the time he likes it without being interrupted, they really overjoy boarding a Car to begin twenty four hours journey with a driver that hardly rides a Bicycle for two miles without sudden drop down the road to wait for another driver to pass in an overtaking. I wish they could draw the attention of that driver to pack gently and get out of it before they flow into river but I cannot.
