I don’t have time for a sermon today. Prof Pius Adesanmi<\/a> has done a brilliant piece on TRANSCENDENTALISM and the application of knowledge across generations. If you haven’t read it, do the needful.<\/p>\n

Doctor Femi Adebajo<\/a> also has a fantastic piece, albeit cryptic message about how REFLEXIVITY can become a culture in our national life. Go to his page for ‘Irohin ni ekunrere’.<\/p>\n

Dr. Seun Kolade<\/a> too has put up brilliant summations about the need for CRITICAL REFLECTION as a leadership trait. Lookup his posts too.<\/p>\n

My widow’s mite is this: Illiteracy is not Nigeria’s problem. The cancer we have is pseudo intellectualism. As they say, little knowledge is dangerous.<\/p>\n

One of the great lesson of EVOLUTION is the ability to develop ADAPTIVE MINDSETS and VARIATION to how phenomena progresses.<\/p>\n

1. Adaptive mindset suggest you have the intellectual wherewithal to understand complexity and change. If you have depended on the use of force to build a country since 1960, and things have largely remained the same, you should do Evolution a favour, evolve to the mindset which is non-binary.<\/p>\n

That could mean that i detest IPOB and Kanu but will stand up for him if his constitutional rights are impinged upon.<\/p>\n

Smart people would have realised that his Youtube and Facebook video threats have yet to kill anyone. Fulani herdsmen however, have sacked villages, committed murderous pogroms and are likely to result in the direct death of some of the hordes baying for violence.<\/p>\n

Smart people will realise that the cost of arbitrariness is more than power grab and authoritarian. It is essentially a veritable tool for underdeveloping a nation. As an example, if you insisted, according to the constitution that the military never be used against citizens to perpetrate the slightest from of oppression, what you are doing is not only maintaining the professional integrity of the army, (which will be maintained by properly equipping them for defending Nigeria against external aggression), you’d also be indirectly forcing the hand of government to modernise and improve the police to enforce law and order internally.<\/p>\n

How childish is the act of sending the Nigerian army to ‘show force’ to one fugitive? Are you for real? What a waste of brains! If we wanted development, we will expect the Nigerian government to train and equip the Nigerian police to have special branches able to perform on the same levels with the regular army, using civil police tactics.<\/p>\n

A lot of you guys grew up watching the Police Academy movies but learnt nothing from it. You watch Homeland, CSI, Criminal Minds, NCIS e.t.c but take nothing educational away from it!<\/p>\n

I am sure that the so called Operation Python Dance has no intelligence on the IPOB group and other subversive groups in Nigeria! Otherwise we would have built up a total picture and taken apart the groups by selective arrests of the criminal members.<\/p>\n
