In Africa, fear and force are unfortunately the two major elements that reign supreme in bringing to reality whatever ambition anyone holds, most especially in the political arena by the politicians. This is highly possible in Africa due to the nature of people inhabiting that part of the world -
Africans, especially those in leadership positions can't reason, cannot comprehend and are psychotic in the brain, hence fear and force yield more desired results than listening to the voice of reason. To their politicians, they become overwhelmed and corrupted by power - which means intimidation, subjugation, exploitation, killing of their subjects and anything that has to do with brazen abuse of power.
The trend of tyranny is bountiful and festering in Africa, mostly been engineered and perfected by the Europeans. Just like President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria, there are also the likes of Paul Biya of Cameroon, Gnassingbe Eyadema of Togo, Mobutu of Congo, Teodoro Obiang Nguema of Equatorial Guinea, El Hadj Omar Bongo of Gabon to mention but a few.
These men have accomplished their respective inordinate desires with the use of brute force and inflicting fear into the minds of their subjects. Albeit truth is so offensive to the status quo in Africa, but it must be told since true peace cannot be allowed to reign.
There's no need gainsaying the fact that Nigeria is ripe for conquest and secession just as Africa was for colonization. For good governance in Nigeria, no hope, that can never be obtained no matter whichever political party takes the mantle of leadership. Nothing survives on deceit and delusion and Nigeria cannot be an exception as she was laid and/or conceived on false, fraudulent and faulty foundation.
