Utopia: The Plan Of A New World -By Dada Sheriff Oluwaferanmi

This piece is centered on the current devastating moment, the chaos we were put into by the vicious and calamitous people with their idea of creating a new world (Utopia).

I would like to share my views and concepts based on the current outbreak and would love to clearly demystify my points. The plan of a “New World” which I think would be the topic for our leaders to make “Agenda 2021 or Utopia 2030”, if they would.

Firstly, divulging in a plausible way, how could a vast majority of 98% to 99% have just the basic needs and the comfort of luxury be lost or no longer an option, while the top 1% bathe in absolute indulgence where they can not be seen so they would be the one-world government?

This small category of people are ruling over the billions, deciding what they call best for everyone. The idea of Utopia has been with mankind for as much as we can find record. The plan of a ‘New world order’ has been in the works for almost 100 year now. Some would even say since 1775. All in all, it is a good nature of human rights and acceptance of individualism and fairness across the board.

The current outbreak of coronavirus disease discovered in the year 2019, called (COVID-19) which I have lately been pondering and ranting on, has created a global trauma and health crisis that has had a deep impact on the way we perceive our world and our everyday lives.

So sad pathetic, not only the rate of contagion patterns of altering and transmission that threatens our sense of humour and agency, but the safety measures put in place to contain the spread of the virus also require social distancing by refraining from doing what is inherently and purely human, which is to find solace in the company of others.

For your interest, as we watch today and everyday forward, we can see the legal complications of altering communities in small, but impactful promises, all the way down to the very day -by- day words we use and what is considered appropriate, and even, the sanctions or punishments issued for those in the larger city’s for not using the correct definition. No more man or woman, but just person. If man is used to define a man who dresses or has surgery for breasts, in some areas, that person can be arrested for harrassment and vice versa. Very small things like this implemented all over the place to slowly change the minds of people and curve the wandering of civilization into a uniformed direction of political correctness. Then, larger parts begin to take place; such as those involved with health and how the government can tell you what to eat or drink and on which days you can go out and have something for yourself and family.

However, how could a vast majority peasant of 98% to 99% will have something, but must abide by only what the top 1% (leaders) have for them. Once again, this small class of people ruling over the billions would be deciding what they think the best for everyone, and which is already and currently happening.

For instance, in our context (Nigeria), we are all asked to stay in curfew (indoor) giving us palliatives, measures on going out days, “always put on face mask , wash your hands with soap or sanitizer regularly”etc. Which have lately been causing a huge trauma and psychological injury for us.

All in all, I generally aggravate myself in this idea of unified consciousness and place of understanding when I see our governments trying to bring about the same general idea, but, within this place of earth and human nature, we tend to get lost in the lust of flesh, the pride of life and the lust of the eyes. So much room for corruption only reminds me of how we fell from the garden of eden once before.
