200 Million 'MuMu' - An Oppressed State of the Mind

A decent companion once let me know, 'man profits' be that as it may, I obviously contended something else. 'What part of the 'wilderness' would you say you are from, I tongue in cheek inquired? He reacted with a delicate grin however, stayed calm. I cleared out him supposing how 'absurd' and 'improbable' he truly was, to have such idea. Unintentionally, there's a generally opposite form of my companion's idea over from where I come. There's a well known saying in Nigeria, 'Cash makes a man'. My companion happened to be German and me, obviously, the 'coolest' thing to ever happen to Africa (or so we're made to trust), a Nigerian. With so much assurance, pride, guts-feeling and self-conviction, I set out to state, I'm gladly Nigerian!

Measurably, equitably and sensibly, there's energy in numbers. The power in numerical favorable position expands the odds of reasonable justification which, is constantly more prominent than that of a conceivable reason. Moderately, the truth of 'productivity' with less numbers can never be ignored. An awesome case and declaration to this are incredible accomplishments of 'Alexander the colossal'. His successes and triumphs were accomplished with an exceptionally vital, proficient, and powerful approach. He was generally dwarfed by foes on a proportion of 3:1 yet all things considered, he never lost a solitary fight all through his lifetime. So what does it mean? Does 'all the more' essentially signify 'better'? Is China fundamentally further developed than their opponent neighbor, Japan? All things considered, I'll leave that for you to contemplate.

In a broken and crashed frameworks like most underdeveloped countries where actually, everything 'works' and in fact in the meantime, nothing 'works', does assumed numerical favorable position matter? With the end goal of this article, I'll concentrate for the most part on Nigeria as a practical topic. Nigeria, a country of nearly or maybe, more than 200 million individuals with probably the most degenerate personalities, disposition or more all, mindset. A standout amongst the most instructed all around yet, 'rationally poor with darken outlooks'. The dominant part's attitude is degenerate with wistful standards and epileptic temperances and qualities along these lines, their initiative and government turns into the most comfort and simple focuses to property fault. Maybe, fault 'neo-expansionism'? Dirty move, attempt once more!

A country that worships debasement and its indecencies, where individuals approve impropriety and idolizes nonentities. A country where regarded media stages (Journalists and Bloggers) promptly acclaim and worship 'Criminals', 'Hooligans', 'Gangsters', 'Killers' and corrupt practices at a cost. A country where diligent work is disgraced and undermined, where resourcefulness and trustworthiness are considered shortcomings.

A country that chose to office, a blamed killer in confinement. A country where 'sick gotten' riches is celebrated, delighted and glamorized; where, 'Pastors' just educate and lecture 'how to get rich' principles. A country where 'Priests' are 'smaller than usual divine beings' as far as they could tell and rights therefore being worshiped in this manner, coercing, misusing and mentally programming their individuals. A country that is enormously religious for the most part because of monetary hardship. They accept unequivocally in ordinary 'predictions' than God, Bible and Quran.

The extremely well known English precept, "need as the mother of creation" appears to have significant special cases from an African country's specific situation and guise. In Nigeria and lion's share of African nations, "need appears to breed fear, gift, average quality, debasement, silliness, ineptitude et al." Majority of us are results of a tainted framework (since autonomy) or presumably a maladroit of a subjective good foundation. I decline to apportion fault to not only the pioneers but rather, everybody as we've been brought and reared up in the casing of one-sided acknowledge, dogmatism and epileptic perspective of reality and presence of mind. A country of over or right around 200 million individuals couldn't ad lib contrasting options to essential frameworks the 'pioneers' denied its kin.

A seventeenth century French Philosopher, Joseph de Maistre once stated, "Each country gets the administration they merit". Since freedom, Nigeria and the vast majority of her African partners have been limitlessly 'fruitful' at reproducing 'pioneers' with corroded thoughts and degenerate outlooks, pioneers with the most noticeably bad conceivable idea of life. Obviously, these 'pioneers' aren't outsiders be that as it may, subjects of the land. For as long as 60 years, this has been the stories of practically every African country everybody still accuses the 'pioneers' for their pickles. Maybe, could the French Philosopher be correct? Aren't these 'pioneers' intelligent of the genuine picture and manner of their masses?

Does a 'Gandhi', 'Mandela' or 'Lincoln', ever exist among the 200 million 'Mùmús' in Nigeria? Where are the dynamic personalities? Formal instruction isn't sufficient... is 'Upset' the appropriate response or Mediocrity proceed with its run the show? May God favor the 'Powerless and Hopeless'! Gladly Nigerian!

'Mùmú' is an everyday and casual slang for being 'simple'.

It's the ideal opportunity for all and each Nigerian to change their mindset towards progressiveness and desert all these backward methodologies and strategies that is never worked since accomplishing autonomy.

It's the ideal opportunity for each Nigerian and African in like manner to challenge 'the present state of affairs' of defilement, financial hardship, tribalism, neocolonialism and numerous different components obstacle to consistent development and advancement of their countries.
