The Audacity of Misrule -By J. Ezike

At last, the gravitas of becoming a PVC holder has proven with unambiguous hint to be insignificant in influencing the unfavourable state of affairs. Also, the patriotic Nigerians and their messianic circle of political game changers can with horror and heavy-heartedness admit in this conclusive, much-anticipated charade that Nigeria in all it Mephistophelian ambience, its penchant for malpractice has forbidden the civil population and clearheaded minds from putting their convictions into effect. They (PVC holders) have witnessed yet again, with utter traumatization and feverish stupor the taboo greed for power and resource control and the violent desperation that accompanies the “audacity of misrule.”

Through social media and instant news we were visited with well-publicized interferences and war-like violence at electoral polls and the multiple casualties that piled along with the irregularities as observed by all and sundry. And to the relief of some “generational idiots” “happy fools” and “countries with benefits” Atiku Abubakar was strained beyond the precipice of an “organized defeat” and was balloted out of the quest, and was made to suffer the loss of MKO Abiola whose mandate was stolen by the same unscrupulous old brigades.

True to character, Nigeria did not disappoint to disenfranchise the people and the mandate of “the one” ordained by popular vote. As high expectations were matched by fierce riggings, we watched helplessly as they sent their dogs and uniformed hounds trotting against election voters who stood in the queue, supposedly carved for presidential rivalries of the “incumbent clone” backed up by the Fulani-Yoruba rogue alliance. Extending the Nigerian influence over the elections, trumpeting the exercise as free and fair and celebrating the inflated results in favour of the APC. But then, the people had chosen to engage them in this political fraud, this sensational deception. How long will we continue to be the “ugly stupid slaves” that we are?

To those who had put their lives in line, to impress the monkeys and baboons in Aso Rock, well, you all died for nothing!

I feel obligated to mock the terminally-depraved Nigerian elections, the participants and the PVC holders who had invested time, energy, resources and “vain hope” for a credible finalization of the “undemocratic exercise,” but as a writer and activist I can never overlook the blatant rape on what is dubiously furnished as democracy by the Caliphate-Slavocratic agents resident in Aso Rock.

What we should be doing now is to internationalize the ongoing “revolution” as pushed forward by the LNC, the IPOB and the MASSOB, to question the legitimacy of the monumental fraud that is Nigeria. If we can capitalize on this understanding and allow it to awaken our minds to the reality of Nigeria’s unsalvageable existence then, we may be able to attack our ignorance with much greater clarity and reject our enslavement with a much intense revolutionary anger.

I want to believe by now, and if indeed we have “working brain-cells” in our coconut heads, that we have finally grasped the hopelessness, ineffectuality and impotency of leveraging on Nigerian Elections or validating INEC’s competency through voting.
