Power, especially in a confused society like ours spread like gangrene. It becomes an insoluble dilemma to explain how the opportuned minorities that rides on the wings of the majority tends to confer the same power on their family members. Over time, there have been an un-constituted and assumed level of power that is being given to either the wife or the children of Nigerian leaders. Powers are unnecessarily arrogated to them, thereby leading to creation of money-gulping offices.

This unfortunate development makes them look sacred, untouchable and have an unrestrained regard or respect for the masses. It is in our democracy that you cannot distinctively separate the overbearing influence of the family from the supposed elected leaders. A country that over emphasizes immunity clause beyond the boiling point- a double barrel trouble for the helpless and hapless common men- as they (masses)  suffer verbal abuse from the father, the children or the wife without a proper reconfiguration of their cerebral grandstanding also delve into an unthinkable intellectual assault of the souls of men clamoring for their rights.

This is a social malady that has outlived its age on our terrestrial ball as a nation. The very undoubtedly known reason why the daughter of the Governor of Oyo state could hurled a verbal abuse on the protesting students. This imbalances and wrong sense of judgment that emanated from the odociferous mouth of the Mr. Governor’s Daughter seems to be a general syndrome of Nigerian leaders. These occurrences are products of the wide gap differences that exists between the leaders and the led.

Ajibola Ajimobi labeling the protesting students as “Generation of mannerless children…..” is a statement that is far from the Centre of deep reasoning. And a show of utmost disrespect for the unfortunate development that ransacked the smooth running academic program of the institution. She belongs to a class system that has completely eroded her level of human reasoning vis-a-vis the reactions of the aggrieved students. After all, she might not have experienced what it means to have a school closed down for a month not to talk of about eight months. She only reads or hears about it has a natural phenomenon in Nigeria education system.

I wish the Governor’s daughter will do well to put herself in this condition and stop suffering from the incessant diarrhea of the mouth. She can take a deep reflection by picturing herself among the number of heads that took to the street to demand for their future. May be if she can think like an evolved Homo sapiens that is made up of a well-developed brain, she will be human enough and not spit out such a gall. And may be if she did not understand what it means to be mannerless, history is there to judge. What about her sibling that was caught in sex scandal?

This and many more are the debilitating results of living on the masses common wealth and still have the gut to run bad mouth on why they have decided to be liberated from the siddon – look approach given to the closure of the school.

Mr. Governor’s Daughter, I am trying to borrow you some currency of common sense to know that silence weighs more than untutored courage in the public sphere. Do well to know that life only gave you a chance to be heard because of the poor political structure that we have. You are not in any way different!

This will however remain a reoccurring decimal unless the Nigerian leaders begin to enroll their own children into the same system that they destroying. And until there is no class system again as suggested by Karl Max, it is then that this show of absurdity would be brought to a staggering halt.
