THE NIGERIAN POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT AND THE POLITICS OF SENTIMENT: A COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS. THE NIGERIAN POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT IS VERY RIPPLED WITH SENTIMENTALISM. THIS HOWEVER, HAS HAD A LOT OF NEGATIVE IMPLICATIONS ON OUR SOCIO-POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. THIS HAS EQUALLY BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COUNTRY INCESSANT ELECTORAL WOES IN WHICH "WRONG PEGS ARE PUTTING IN THE RIGHT WHOLE" AT ALL TIMES. THE SATANIC AND VERY HEARTLESS POLITICAL CLASS VEHEMENTLY CREATED INSTRUMENTALITY OF SENTIMENT TO ALWAYS HAVE THEIR WAYS OUT IN ALL RAMIFICATIONS. AMONG THE VERITABLE TOOLS THEY USE IN BAMBOOZLING THE CITIZENS ARE; RELIGION, ETHNICITY, DIVIDE AND RULE TACTICS, FALSE PROPAGANDA, PAYING LIP-SERVICE TO TACKLING CORRUPTION OF ALL FORMS, CHARACTER ASSASSINATIONS TO MENTION BUT FEW. THE PROBLEMS ARE; THE NIGERIAN POPULACE ARE BEING GULLIBLE AND THEIR GULLIBILITY ARE BEING ERODING UPON. THIS IS WHAT SOME POLITICAL CLASS HAS BEEN USING TO GOVERN OUR GREAT COUNTRY AND ALAS, WE CAN ALL SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE COUNTRY RIGHT NOW. THE QUESTIONS THAT READILY COME TO MIND IS; WHY IS IT DIFFICULT TO HAVE "SOVEREIGN NATIONAL CONFERENCE" TO MOVE THE COUNTRY FORWARD? WHY ARE RELIGION, ETHNICITY AND DIVIDE AND RULE TACTICS ARE BEING COMMONLY USED TO DRIVE THE COUNTRY TO UNDERDEVELOPMENT BY THE POLITICAL CLASS? HOWEVER, TOO MUCH SENTIMENTS HAVE BEEN INJECTED INTO OUR SOCIO-POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC LIFE OF OUR COUNTRY AND IS REALLY CAUSING US IRREPARABLE LOSE. THE "COST IS MUCH MORE GREATER THAN THE BENEFIT". THE PRINCIPLE OF OBJECTIVE NIGERIANISATION HAS BEEN MURDERED AND THIS HAS BEEN REPLACED BY THE PRINCIPLE "ETHNICITY AND POLITICAL SENTIMENTS". TO ME, IF OUR POLITICAL CLASS ARE VERY SERIOUS AND HAVE THE LOVE OF NIGERIA AT HEART, THEY SHOULD DO AWAY WITH THE POLITICS OF ETHNICITY AND RELIGIOUSITY. YESTERDAY, I HEARD SENATOR DAVID MARK, THE SENATE PRESIDENT SAYING; "THERE WILL BE NATIONAL CONFERENCE TO DISCUSS THE WAY FORWARD FOR NIGERIA." I HOPE THE MAN IS BEING VERY SINCERE AND NOT THAT HE IS PLAYING TO THE GALLERY AS USUAL OF OUR POLITICIANS. NIGERIANS ARE WATCHING, AND ACCORDING TO THE SAYING, "WHEN A GOAT IS PUSHED TO THE WALL, IT WILL BITE. "
