ON 3RD TERM MATTERS...
*Third Term* is the name of a very wicked *Demon* that leads popular politicians to the wilderness of political oblivion and political irrelevance and low life after a robust span of positive political life.
True, you have 3rd Termers and more in advanced democracies like USA, Europe and Indian.
When compared to our people in Africa, the motives differ.
One is for service based on support and the other, for purely pecuniary benefits.
But in all, even in those civilized democracies, third term is becoming an anachronism.
Because there's so much abundance of manpower and human capital to explore and experiment with than what we use to call,..."in the country of the blind, one eyed man is king"
Everybody's eye is shining and so, let another take things up a notch, even for variety's sakes.
Even God Almighty Himself is a God of variety. Hence, we have tall trees and short trees, fair humans and black humans, oceans and small rivers and so on...
Why can't we have variety in political contestation and representation, too?
Why would any people centred politician want to squander the goodwill that he has built over the years by falling under the breezing of that terrible third term demon?
Could you imagine that?!
That demon is responsible for OBJ's variegated political musing nowadays, despite all the positive and humongous accomplishments of his government.
Nobody remembers those good works because as soon as that Demon fumigated Aso Rock, at that time, the prism of everything he saw, was now only him and him and his ambition.
Of course, the ambition became shipwrecked in highway and byway and seaway of politics.
Please, no matter what God has done for you or your own estimation of yourself, keep humble and know when to pass the torch on.
That's how a community, people and nation gets lighted up with men and women of leading and light.
Don't ever think you're the only pebble on the seashore.
See?!
