On political commercialisation

Published by

It’s a sad reality today that no political party in Nigeria is on the mission of social salvation, rather they share a common interest of manipulating our interest and mandates in favour of their selfishness thereby exploring our economy and taking away all the wealth that is meant to be used for the development of the masses. Yet we are here fighting for party or candidates with zero ratio of actual political consciousness.

This sounds so odd for people who claim to be updated and informed to be such naive and gullible. Unlike the past generation where politics stood upon the pillar of ideology, well defined culture and philosophy, the present generation focuses more extensively on material pillars upon which money becomes the dominant factor when diving into the lake of politics. The differences are easily identifiable for all except if one has no interest in siding with truth and progressive category.

And as of today, the nature of our political climate has witnessed a faulty change by transforming to a hazy and chaotic one simply because both classes are being spiritually destabilised by the introduction of the harmful  idea of money politics as a strong base in our political realm.

However, the society wasn’t designated by the past heroes to be in such haphazard setting. Rather it is being manipulated by the muddy hands of those political entrepreneurs of which they eye nothing in politics rather than wealth. No social development, no human development, and the most regrettable part of the reality, no spiritual development from their side.
