https://bit.ly/3nKDBcg   TO AVOID A FAILED STATE, NIGERIAN ELITES MUST MOBILIZE & ENLIGHTEN THE YOUTHS/MASSES TO SEEK A PEOPLE’S CONSTITUTION THAT GUARANTEES JUSTICE FOR ALL – Omirhobo   The Lagos-based lawyer, Malcolm Omirhobo, has asked and answered the most poignant question regarding the fast progression of Nigeria into becoming a failed state in recent years. The learned gentleman asks this question because he sees the Nigerian elite corps, who constitute the intellectual and economic backbone of society, as too reticent in addressing the complex conundrum in which the country is mired. The aloofness and nonchalance of the elite corps enable and facilitate the entrenchment of a corrupt governance order that has, with time, translated into all the woes of today’s Unitary Nigeria. Omirhobo has no doubt that, if nothing is don’t sooner to remedy the situation, Africa’s most populous country shall become a failed state. He then asks, “Who Will Suffer If Nigeria Becomes a Failed State?”   He concludes that the same elite corps, who prefer to play the proverbial ostrich now by failing to speak out against misgovernance and maladministration of the country, shall bear the brunt of the existential miseries of living in a failed state. But in a polity that is driven by crass opportunism, greed and narcissistic instincts hardly have the time to stop and reflect on anything that can interfere with the ongoing feeding frenzy at the center. The elite corps are perceived by society’s underdogs as active collaborators and thus the main beneficiaries of the oppressors ruling over everything at the very top. In a failed state, those who wield power now shall be able to devise the means to protect themselves and their immediate cronies. The elite class, comprising professionals, technocrats, administrators and the merchant class, is left to its own means after all the institutions of governance collapse nationwide.   Chief Omirhobo spoke plainly as he painstakingly details the travails awaiting the Nigerian elite in a failed state. For the underclass, the writer quipped, “He that is low needs fear no fall”. The elite middle class shall experience the most trauma if Nigeria becomes a failed state today. Commonsense would compel a critical mass of the country’s elite corps to become more attentive and proactive on matters pertaining to national governance, in particular and the political economy, in general. But, as we already know too well, commonsense is not a common commodity, particularly in Nigeria.   To read Malcolm Omirhobo’s article in full, go to the LNC USA website homepage and scroll toward the bottom. Share widely with your social media contacts as usual.   Okenwa.

Folks,

l think it is laughable at this point if anyone from niggeria still thinks there is a there, there! l say so because anyone who believes there is a remedy to the state of things back home l believe must not have been paying attention to the youths. They do not want anything to do with niggeria, their parents and relatives have been decimated emotionally, culturally, intellectually, financially, developmentally, psychologically. And you cannot pay them to change their minds since being of ages - born 1970 to 2005, they have seen and therefore know better.

Therefore in my estimation, they will not be thrilled or be in a hurry to read piece like this one under the thread. l wish as well that our group of men and women, the elders in our 50's, 60, and 70's should either let them be and butt out completely for where we were, they do not wish themselves and will definitely not be in a hurry to go there or our way to get there

And this indeed concludes my observation as per this brief by Malcolm Omirhobo
