<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
I shall not insist that the historic/biblical figure of Nebuchadnezzar 
is uniquely apt for the pivotal figure of the ‘democratic’ history in 
the making at this moment — for one thing, Nebu was a nation builder and
 a warrior.<br />
<br />
One could argue, even more convincingly for the figure of Balthazar, his
 successor, or indeed, Emperor Nero as reference point — you all 
remember him — the emperor who took to fiddling while Rome was burning.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
However, you should easily recall why I opted for King Nebu — the figure
 that currently sits on the top of our political pile himself evoked it,
 albeit in a context that virtuously disclaimed any similarities, even 
tendencies. Perhaps, he meant it at the time when he claimed: ‘I am no 
Nebuchadnezzar’. Perhaps, not! </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
One judges leaders on acts however, not pronouncements, which are often 
as reliable as electoral promises. King Nebu remains relevant — and not 
only for leadership. We, the citizens, are beginning to feel the heat...</blockquote>

Without any claims to prophecy — unlike Shadrach and company, we wake up
 each morning to a sensation that we have been cast in the furnace 
together with those who at least committed the crime of dissent or 
criticism.  No divine miracle appears to be at hand for a last-minute 
rescue.<br />
<br />
In desperation, one is reduced to hoping that the evocation of his own 
biblical reference point will resonate somewhere in the mind of one who 
is so ostentatiously humble and pious, kneels at the feet of a priest 
who could easily be mistaken for an office worker, and cultivates the 
high and holy company of acknowledged spokesmen of God.<br />
<br />
So, here goes. Gentlemen of the Press, let’s not beat around the bush: 
the line has been drawn. The people must decide — whether to submit or 
resist. We may be no-count plebians in the sight of the new-born 
patricians of Aso Rock and their apologists but — must we revert to the 
Abacharian status of glorified slaves? Of course, it is up to any people
 to decide.<br />
<br />
The praetorian guards have been let loose — to teach the rabble their 
place. The recent choice of a new leader for the Guard was clearly no 
accident, and this hitherto unknown enforcer, one Suleiman Abba, has 
wasted no time in inaugurating a season of brutish power.<br />
<br />
When a people’s elected emissaries are disenfranchised, cast out like 
vagrants and resort to scaling fences to engage in their designated 
functions, the people get the message. However, the choice is always 
there, and each choice comes at a cost. It is either we pay now, or pay 
later.<br />
<br />
The latest action of the supposed guardians of the law against the 
nation’s lawgivers is an unambiguous declaration of war against the 
people. I am glad that a commentator has referred to it as an attempted 
coup-de-tat. And it nearly worked.<br />
<br />
Legislators are not elected for their athletic prowess, and such 
endeavours should not be demanded of them. There are even presidents and
 prime ministers who were elected despite physical handicaps. The brain 
is where it matters, the vision and commitment to service. Our 
legislators however have been made to perform over and beyond the call 
of the Olympics.<br />
<br />
I don’t understand why some media have described their action as a show 
of shame — this is a very careless, easily misapplied designation. The 
act of scaling gates and walls to fulfill their duty by the people must 
be set down as their finest hour. They must be applauded, not derided.<br />
<br />
If shame belongs anywhere, it belongs to the Inspector-General of Police
 and his slavish adherence to conspiratorial, illegal, and 
unconstitutional instructions — to undermine a democratic structure, and
 one — to make matters worse — convoked in response to an emergency of 
dire public concern.<br />
<br />
What sticks to this policeman is worse than shame; it is infamy. Such a 
public servant deserves to be publicly pilloried, tried and meted a 
punishment that is appropriate to treasonable acts, if only to serve as a
 deterrent to others in positions of responsibility under the law. To 
demand less is to reduce ourselves below the status free citizens of a 
free nation.<br />
<br />
It means we endorse violence against our representatives, that we are 
content to submit ourselves to the jackboots of naked force. It is to 
annunciate the era of the brute, as the current fundamental modality of 
governance.<br />
<br />
For this latest outrage, one in an escalating series of impunity, the 
buck stops yet again at the presidency, and that incumbent, Goodluck 
Ebele Jonathan, continues to surprise us in ways that very few could 
have conjectured.<br />
<br />
Peaking at his own personalised example where he set the law of simple 
arithmetic on its head — I refer to the split in the Governors’ Forum, 
and his ‘formal’ recognition of the minority will in a straightforward, 
peer election — democracy has been rendered meaningless where it should 
be most fervently exemplified.<br />
<br />
Nothing is more unworthy of leadership than to degrade a system by which
 one attains fulfillment, and this is what the nation has witnessed time
 and time again in various parts of the nation, the recent affront 
against the legislative chamber being only the most blatant and 
unconscionable.<br />
<br />
We know, of course, that this is not the first of its kind in the 
nation’s history, but precedents are not binding. Each leader selects 
his or her own model for emulation or avoidance, and that choice is 
certain indication of the true nature of such a leader, and a clue to 
the kind of conduct that a people can expect of him.<br />
<br />
It is a warning. His choices for the occupancy of crucial public 
positions — such as the protective arm of the nation — constitutes an 
even more immediate and constant public alert. The signals are ominous —
 for and beyond 2015.<br />
<br />
These, to state the obvious, are not ordinary times. The menace of Boko 
Haram hangs over the corporate entity called a nation and over every 
individual, citizen or mere bird of passage.<br />
<br />
The cliché ‘heating up the polity’ may grate the eardrums with its 
banality but I think that we have a right to demand of a leader not to 
stoke up the furnace in which events have cast its citizens.<br />
<br />
Every day records a new violation of our humanity. The atrocious 
targeting of the great mosque of Kano has rendered any lingering doubt 
of impending national imposition an invitation for collective suicide, 
preferably through piecemeal dismemberment.<br />
<br />
The theories of cause and effect can wait, or continue — it does not 
matter — the omniscient in such matters continue to pontificate, some of
 them blithely forgetting that they indeed contributed to policies that 
landed us in this brutal cleft.<br />
<br />
What does matter is an awareness that the nation is only part of a 
global eruption of fundamentalist delusions whose staple diet consists 
of destabilisation and dehumanisation — all summed up as an ideology of 
Hate for the different. For the defiant.<br />
<br />
This should form the basis of understanding by which an implacable enemy
 is confronted. And it should form the basis of leadership awareness. It
 should have led, by now, to national mobilisation on an unprecedented 
scale, one that may even impinge, however temporarily, on those 
liberties that you and I consider non-negotiable in our rights as 
citizens.<br />
<br />
However, imagine, just imagine that today’s leadership were of such a 
cast of mind, one that makes demands of sacrifice from the citizens. The
 response would be outright rejection. And deservedly so, because any 
such motion would be distrusted. It would be seen as an act of 
insincerity, an opportunity to acquire even more powers for citizen 
enslavement.<br />
<br />
This is the price you pay for encroaching on the precincts and 
entitlements of others with whom you share a structure of authority. You
 lose the trust of the other legs of — in this case — a governance 
tripod.<br />
<br />
Every act, especially in abnormal circumstances, would be viewed with 
extreme suspicion, and the gates open wide, without any strenuous effort
 on its part, to the triumphal progression of the enemy. That is the 
collateral damage that the abuse of power attracts to whatever should be
 a collaborative undertaking.<br />
<br />
Where governance has degenerated to such a level that any individual, on
 account of his uniform, can stop an elected representative of a people,
 in this case a governor, from going about his legitimate duties or 
exercising his basic, elementary right as a citizen — as happened during
 the recent Ekiti elections — we do not need to guess what happens in a 
situation that calls for general mobilisation, on which, needless to 
say, the good will and trust of all arms of governance depend in a 
crisis. This, of course, requires the capacity for forward-thinking.<br />
<br />
The shambles that punctuated a presidential campaign visit at the 
Obafemi Awolowo University a few days ago merely underline the total 
alienation of President Jonathan from the reality that has engulfed the 
nation.<br />
<br />
Yes, political campaigns are part and parcel of the bloodline of the 
democratic process. We know that they never stop. However, that a 
national leader should go campaigning on the platform of ethnic support 
at a time when priorities dictate a united national engagement for 
survival, is a grotesque undertaking that was tragically rebuked in the 
massacre of worshippers and desecration of the Kano mosques, almost 
simultaneously with the alienated gathering of selected crowned heads 
and journeymen at the OAU campus, a macabre echo of Balthazar’s feast.<br />
<br />
Long before Nyanya, long before Chibok, long before the mildest of the 
now innumerable violations of our basic right to exist as free citizens,
 the march of a nation towards implosion has dominated the landscape, 
but an obsession with the pettiness of power has obscured remedial 
vision and thus, the creative options constantly open to any prescient 
leadership.<br />
<br />
If Somalia was too far away as instruction, then surely Mali remains 
sufficiently close warning. With the invasion of Mali by al Qaeda and 
its clones and surrogates, we moved from mere portents, from mere 
distant rumblings, to the wake-up knock right against our gates — and 
yet leadership slumber remained unbroken.<br />
<br />
Mali was retrieved, a breathing space created, but it would appear that 
this was when complacency took over and snoring attained its highest 
pitch. The few waking moments have been spent on sterile, tawdry 
intrigues and consolidation on the marshes and quicksands of power. That
 failure in the aggressive destabilisation of the enemy is the cross 
that the nation bears today — but we must concede that this gross 
dereliction applies not only to Nigeria but to her neighbours — indeed 
to ECOWAS — and the collective failure for concerted action.<br />
<br />
Leadership counts however, and it was Nigeria that took the lead in that
 critical and timely mission that was spearheaded by France.<br />
<br />
The lesson of Mali was completely lost on complacent leadership however,
 leaving time and space for alien invaders to make common cause with the
 internal, unleashing destruction at will and dancing around a nation 
whose armed forces have acquitted themselves creditably on foreign 
missions.<br />
<br />
The architect of that initial policy of containment was the recently 
deceased Gbenga Ashiru, then Foreign Minister, unceremoniously removed 
for the ends of premature politicking, before the logical development of
 that initiative.<br />
<br />
Now, of course, the very manipulators of Ashiru’s removal are falling 
over one another to heap praises on the quality of his achievements in 
office, skirting  — who can blame them! — the tawdry reasons for his 
removal from office. Petty, retaliatory calculations that placed the 
interests of the nation, the very security of its people in acute 
jeopardy from unfinished business. Ashiru’s presence in that position 
had become a fly in the palm wine of Balthasar’s Feast.<br />
<br />
Caution: no one dares predict that the plight of Nigerians would be any 
rosier had his ideas been pursued till the very end. The point is simply
 this — a process was interrupted, truncated without thought, petty 
politicking being made to override substance. I wrote Ashiru to 
commiserate with him and to bolster his morale. He replied in only two 
words: USE AND DUMP!<br />
<br />
Defend yourselves! This is what the perceptive have preached and groups 
like the so-called Junior Task Force translated into action, the real 
heroes of the defence of the tattered ‘Nigerian sovereignty’.<br />
<br />
Among them, a hitherto unknown, a woman, has become one of the symbols 
of resistance, an ordinary woman turned extraordinary, one of the 
hunters who routed the diabolical hordes who appear to rout our military
 even before their appearance.<br />
<br />
Does it sound today as whimsical as it may have sounded to some when I 
urged the organisation of willing survivors of Boko Haram into local 
defence corps, their women especially, proposed that they be kitted out 
fully, and formally inducted as auxiliaries.<br />
<br />
Ladi, it would appear, needed no such urging from any direction. It was 
obvious to her, and others like her that it was futile to await 
salvation from a centre that is so self-obsessed with power that it no 
longer sees even the danger to its very existence.<br />
<br />
A people must defend itself. These are no ordinary times, and we have 
moved beyond orthodox solutions. “Where two or three are gathered 
together…” — I shall complete those words my own way: “They must 
anticipate, organise, obtaining or improvising the wherewithal as 
circumstances dictate.  Fascism is the eternal enemy of freedom, and it 
comes both in internal and external forms.”<br />
<br />
Today, it would be premature to claim that Suleiman Abba and the many 
incarnations of Shekau are cut from the same mould but remember, we have
 been here before. Who can forget Sunday Adewusi, the original Robo-Cop!<br />
<br />
And so, consider this; the ripples from the fascistic eruption of a 
Suleiman Abba may actually result in far greater casualties and inhuman 
degradation of society than those so far recorded even at the hands of 
Shekau and his cohorts. That is the real and present danger.<br />
<br />
This is why the call for vigilance is real and urgent, and a need to 
clip the wings of a predatory bird before it devours society, becomes 
paramount.<br />
<br />
Beset by external and internal threats to liberty and dignity, abandoned
 internally by a do-it-yourself government on the one hand, and 
externally by (claimed) impediments from cynical allies — as we are made
 to believe in the media — let no one cry Anarchy when the people 
respond to that historic cry of liberation, to which one leader after 
another — the most recent being the Emir of Kano and the Ulama leader, 
Yahaha Jingir — have felt moved to urge upon their people: “Citizens, 
Defend yourselves!”<br />
