THE SLAVES AND THE MASTERS: Nigeria @ 60



Prior to 1960, the game was the one of the masters and their slaves. This led to moves by the slaves in the quest for their emancipation. But were the agitators really among the perceived oppressed? 


More venom has been poured out which lead to the freedom of the then slaves. No sword was used nor blood splits, as the freedom was gotten through the use of pen.


Although, after the freedom, another form of slavery showcased itself. And that was the slaves oppressing the slaves. It is obvious that our heroes that fought for the freedom built the home base on their personal interest. Haven succeeded in chasing out the 'red nose' as a group of people fighting for same goal, the story eventually changed in the quest to protect regional integrity.


This in essence continue to make the slaves servants even more than how they  used to serve before whether directly or indirectly. It further lead to a subsequent dichotomy where  the rich and influential hold one class and the poor masses were left below the ladder. The outcome of this leads to draconian laws and tyranny in favor of the former. 


This at last created a picture that is  existing where a diverse country have only two culture and that is the elitist culture and that if the masses. The story now is, among the then slaves we have masters who now swim in the ocean of wealth while the slaves that remain slaves swim in that of abject poverty. This has also created an artificial tradition where leadership becomes hereditary or perhaps a family affair where only the sons and grandsons of the masters remain the masters while the slave remains as such, so do his entire generations to come. 


HAPPY INDEPENDENCE NIGERIA @ 60
