The Transmission Commissioner: I.G Ibrahim Kpotun Idris -By J. Ezike

IG Ibrahim Kpotun Idris

A wise man once said: “You can never give what you don’t have.”

Leadership mediocrity does not come from our personal inability to do all things, but from our lack of intellectual, cognitive and patriotic sense in building a productive and progressive nation through consistent commitment, rigorous hard work and professional input.

As Nigerians, the luxury of denial which most of us hold dearly has disengaged us from the truth about our immersion in the misery of unproductive and retrogressive leadership. This perpetual weakness surely has invited oppositional strengths in the form of revolution where voices of reason are prized.

So, when we cry “BIAFRA!” “REFERENDUM!” it is as a matter of fact a ”just call” – an emphatic admittance of the tragedy that bedevils all Nigerians entrapped in Britain’s slave enterprise. It’s not about Igbo. It’s not about oil. It’s not about land. It’s not about who gets what and who doesn’t! It transcends all of these permutations and connotations. It’s about undoing the Amalgamation blunder of 1914. It’s about restoring our original identity prior to British colonial conquest. It’s about engaging truth with history. It’s about bringing to the surface of our consciousness the British fraud that continues to mock our collective intelligence. It’s about being in agreement with the reality of our differences. It’s about objecting to British colonial intrusion on our sovereignty. It’s about dethroning “official injustice” and disconnecting posterity from the gene of mediocrity! It’s about bringing to conclusion the malformed marriage of attrition of the Southern and the Northern Protectorate.

It is true that education isn’t the key to success, whether basic or expensive. It is also true that most “uneducated geniuses” thrived through self-education and basic knowledge of how things work. It was the Great Bard William Shakespeare who said: “Ignorance is a curse of God. Knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly to heaven.”

Within this backdrop it would be preposterous to give an Ignorant, empty-headed moron a title fit for an Einstein and expect excellence in return. Such is the tragedy that animates Nigeria!

In Nigeria, knowledge has no proximity to power. It shares no common boundary with the science of leadership. It somewhat a pantomime that mimics George Orwell’s Animal Farm, where brutes are exalted, where violent conspiratorial dominance is led by uncultured power-hungry people which consequently triggers radical movements and revolutions by the conscious minds.

Thus, the rise of IPOB, LNC, MASSOB and other revolutionary groups and change-inducing agents.

How can a mediocre address mediocrity? Mediocre leadership is the symptom of a failed state. Nigeria is notorious for birthing “violent illiterates” as leaders. Disturbing video of Idris Abubakar’s yawning speech has gone viral, causing a cyber earthquake on Face book, Twitter and other social mediums. The video is an outstanding proof that Nigeria’s leadership is mediocre. In fact, mediocrity is Nigeria’s pseudonym! When you wonder why Nigeria is what it is, the speech by the inspector general of police should serve as an answer.

Fools who cannot read or write are mandated to demonstrate leadership in a country reeking of intellectual minds!

The leadership of Nigeria captained by empty-heads is without a doubt a curse for the country and the people therein.

For those who still choose to subscribe to this British organized Master-Servant union that grants hegemonic might and monopoly of leadership to the Hausa-Fulani over the South, should read this quoted ridiculous speech by the transmission commissioner, I mean, the inspector general of police: Idris Abubakar.

“Transmission, I mean, transmission, I mean, effort, that the transmission cooperation to transmission, I mean,  transmission to have effect, ehm, apprehend, I mean, apprehensive and the transmission of transmission, I mean, cultivating  Nigeria police force, sorry sir,  all the kidnapping transmission, over, I mean, ehm, commission transmission, recommendation transmission, I mean…”

Sadly, we are yet to understand what the uniformed clown meant in his convoluted, incoherent speech devoid of sense and full of confusion.

Indeed, “There was a country.”
