Lessons to Learn from the present Bukola Saraki's Episode
1. The house built with the cement of saliva falls to the whim of dew...
2. The twenty year old pounded yam sure burns the hand- but does it?
Sin is a prophecy- it speaks into the future. Can the one who slept over
his right validly complain about it 12years after? Is 'laches and
acquiescence' a valid escape route from criminal prosecutions? Do crimes
get statute-barred? Why is an allegation given a vacation and a
gestation period? Why now? Why not now? Why not If not? Who suddenly
awoke the Code of Conduct Bureau to their statutory responsibilities?
3. When strange bedfellows come together to form a formidable fortress to combat a common foe, uncommon interest will separate them after the victory is earned. Independent Brooms might fuse together as a bunch to sweep away the dirt of bad leadership, but a separation of each broomstick for personal achievement will make the floor dirty again... Change obtained by synergy of intimate strangers is compromisable by the blind ambition of some...
4. You can take a man out of the village of ruination and desecration, you can't take the village of ruination and desecration out of the man. You don't change mentality by mechanical alacrity or fusional activity, but by re-orientational celerity.
5. When you accuse your sworn enemy genuinely, your motive is questioned and labeled a witch hunt. Prosecution laced in Politics seem every inch a Persecution. The horse of the detractor is never swift. Hatred blocks reason, sentiments erode objectivity. In the time of politics, 'why now?' is more important than 'Did he really do it?'
6. No one wins every battle. Learn to choose your battles carefully. Lose your ego to save your survival. Give in to corporate interests If all tide is against you.
7. Never leave your best mind hanging in the cold- he will be recruited by your worst enemy. This will haunt you forever as your albatross...
8. He who lives in a glass house should not throw stones. People often throw sticks and stones at the fruitful tree, not the fruitless one. The one who wears the crown of glory must prepare to dash his feet on the pebble of trouble. Those who live by ambition must learn to survive in opposition and thrive in tribulation...
9. Those who killed for you can kill you for others! Beware of that friend who helps you kill and hide the corpse with the digger- He can kill, he still has a digger and he sure knows how to hide corpses. When you join the enemy of your enemy and former friend to eliminate your enemy, you will soon end up as the enemy of the befriended enemy of your enemy and the same cudgel of betrayal is only on reserve bench for you. Those who you assisted to oust your enemy by propaganda and obtain change by trick will exchange you by smartness and play you out by experience.
10. Party, group, organization, forums or name change do not truly change individuals- we often remain who we are, you can't turn a bungalow into a Duplex by calling it one. You can't make a hut a house simply by painting it.
11. The silent lion is often more ferocious than the rabid dog. The gentility of a Tiger does not diminish its Tigritude...
12. Be magnanimous in victory, reach a compromise, settle with your detractors and accusers quickly before you get to the station lest you smell detention... Those who are stronger than you can strike you numb! Beware of the strength of the subordinate too for he knows all your secrets. The fiercest of all battles is the insider-war!
13. It is the court of law, not a court of Justice. Law is for the highest bidder, justice is often times and unrealistic illusion...
14. Accusation is not tantamount to conviction. Just because you were accused doesn't mean you are guilty- just because you were not accused doesn't mean you are innocent. That you did it doesn't mean you are guilty- hire a Lawyer who knows his job, his onions, the law and some of the Judges too and most legal matters are very solvable...
15. Life is hideous journey. Battles are hidden traps. We can only kickstart the war, we never know how it will end! No permanent friends or permanent enemies in life- only permanent interests and constancy of survival! Your closest friend can become your vilest enemy. All that happens is time-bound. You can never know where you are with a Nigerian Politician. Four years is too long, yet so short- one hour is such a long time in Politics... The more you look.... You know the rest...
-The word bank.
