When the leaders push the citizens to the wall, revolution is inevitable…Olayemi Dlaw, 2024
A nation blessed with human resources
Still circumambulating like Buddhists on spiritual courses
Where minerals and golds flow like a river
Yet, becoming life threatening like the typhoid fever
A nation known for nepotism and favoritism
And claiming both socialism and capitalism
Indeed, a mixed economy
That has led to serious cacophony
Alas! How did we find ourselves in this mess?
Where our leaders have become visionless
This is indeed the state of nature
Where people live a solitary life with no future
The government of the day is no longer Democracy
Robert Michelle opined in his Iron Law of Oligarchy
That no governments can be fully democratic
As the leaders are so egocentric
