They control this frequency, they are the hands that produce every imagination; they are the executors of every vision, the creators of the future that others have intended. They control the Nation; they do not need position but they have the power. They do not speak into the press cameras, they carry them. They do not wear long flowing kaftans; their jeans and shirts, well fitted suits and general casuals enhance their inconspicuous role. They are not always the brains behind the crises but they are the hands that implement. Without them, crises can only be imagined, not executed. Elections are rigged, only by these; they are the real ‘powers that be’ and that is not a metaphor. Who are they?
Well they can easily be identified because they are not standing in front of podiums, or sitting between tall flags or even locked away inside tall buildings with taller walls and fully armed guards at the dozen gates; they live where you live or somewhere close by. The walk on the walkways, they go to public places without guards, they look like everyone else, because they indeed are the regular people, yet without their support the constituency of an ailing or thriving political administration would bite the dust consistently. They are the pillars that hold the government and what a great handicap it is not to have these ones on your side. They may not call the shots but they take the shots, they may not give the order, they carry out the order. They did not create the system, they uphold and maintain it.
Yet many of them are distressed at the bleakness of their day of total control; the future they would inherit from the system of today which rests on their hands although not on their minds. Many of them are zealous for change, many are pointing fingers at the government asking for good use of power but they fail to recognize the truth: They’ve got the power! The power they need to be used to their advantage is theirs but they do not really know it. They must, at this time, stand up for something and not be mindless puppets with stuffed mouths and victims of a crooked system. They must call all their compatriots within this Nation and inform them about their exceptional powers and abilities of influence. They must set their minds to think today, with tomorrow in perspective because that is their world: these administrators would be gone and they would have to live with their choices of today.
They fall within the age bracket of 12 – 45; they are our most active workforce and the strength of our human resource capital- The Nigerian Youths, our National pillars of strength, look up and aspire for a Nigeria we all will be proud of.
