SELF-SURRENDER & ALIENATION IS MADNESS

As I watch the Nigerian political development, I have been
overwhelmed by two thoughts, or two questions, and I just
cannot help myself out.
The first arises from SOCIAL CONTRACT by Jean Jacque
Rousseau that:
"To say a man gives himself gratuitously,
is to say what is absurd, and inconceivable;
such an act is null and illegitimate, from the
mere fact, he who does it is out of his mind.
To say the same of a whole people
(Nigerians for example), is to say a people
of madmen and madmind, create no right "
The question arising therefrom is that, will it then be wrong
to say that we as Nigerians having surrendered our rights
or having been alienated by the present administration ,
from political, economic and social democracy, have
become mad people?. Otherwise, how has it come to this
stage?
Secondly,we just need to be a little bit patient to see
events unfolding in this languorous prefecture called
Nigeria. Meanwhile if the appointments of Labarun Maku,
Reuben Abati, and Doyin Okupe come true in the
redeployment that follows the cabinet re-shuffle, who will
tell me that political brigandage and privileged demagogy,
has not yielded bumper harvest s for these Chief
Propagandists?
