THE ODDS AGAINST POLITICAL PARTY SYSTEM by Yemi Obideyi - PART 1

The essence of the head of a human is to receive and process signals, coordinate activities of the body system and provide direction by sending information to the parts as at when due.

In a nutshell, failure of the head to carry out the afore-mentioned functions automatically endangers other parts just as it may also mean that the body as a whole, is headless or lifeless.

THE BIRTH OF VNN

Given graciously to man are abilities with which to serve generations. When this service is done according to the desire and dictate of the Creator, God Almighty, the earth ripples in gladness and thumbs up in accolade because all things come together to work well.

To facilitate information on the most effective means of harnessing and deploying these abilities or human endowment for optimum results prompted the creation of the VNN Blog (Vision of the New Nigeria).

LIBERTOCRACY :VISION OF THE NEW NIGERIA written by Yemi Obideyi

The Vision of the New Nigeria is contained in a book ( LIBERTOCRACY ; VISION OF THE NEW NIGERIA) written by Yemi Obideyi,  a Sociologist.

In itself, the Vision captures the emergence of a new nation out of the rubbles or decadence of this traumatized Nigeria. It underscores the essence and ideals of a truly representative government, hinting that any practice that compels a participant or candidate to invest a huge sum of money to partake in or win an election (as usually done by political parties) is in itself unrepresentative, misleading and segregational. Affluence and or indebtedness (or a predisposition to any of the two) should not, consciously or unconsciously, be imputed into the matrix of constituting a truly representative government else it becomes a government of the few by the rich but camouflaged for the people.

The Real Issue

To a casual observer of the Nigerian situation, corruption, embezzlement of public fund is the real problem with Nigeria. It is not. Indeed a careful examination and pathological dissection of the Nigerian socio=political malady, reveals that corruption is actually one of the effects or fruits of the problems. Result of in-depth analyses of this parlous and unenviable state of Nigeria, can be summed up thus: A nation without nationhood, amalgamated but not integrated, federated without unification.

Beyond the foregoing however, the real interpretation is that the progenitors of Nigeria had unconsciously sentenced her to death from inception.

Nigeria Briefly

Born in 1914 was Nigeria following the amalgamation of its Northern and Southern Protectorates by the British Colonial Administration. In land mass, Nigeria is one of the largest in Africa occupying a territory of over 923,768 square kilometre. In population and quality of human resources, it is one of the greatest in the world. In mineral resources deposit and raw materials’ portfolio, it is arguably second to none in the universe. But in the league of developed and industrialized nations, Nigeria cannot be found even ninety-nine (99) years after it came into existence, and fifty=three (53) years as an autonomous nation. Perhaps most painful is the fact that it is not showing any sign of heading in that direction rather of running farther away from it.
