Nothing speaks better to a time like this than the communication bedded in ‘ The Sorcerer’s Apprentice ’. Particularly in the Southeast. I’ve stationed the 18th century lyric by German pen and politician, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe several times on this runner, Olusegun Adeniyi noted.
It tells a compelling story that begins as an old conjurer departs his factory, leaving an apprentice with chores to perform. The apprentice, who had supposedly observed his master at work, enchants a broomstick to help him with the task of costing water, planting a magic he wasn’t yet completely trained in.
Although the magic incontinently began to work, the apprentice soon realised he didn’t know the command to make it stop. And the more he tried to control the entranced broomstick by unyoking it into two with an dismissal, the more he compounded the problem as each of the pieces took up a bucket to cost water at twice the earlier speed. ultimately, after important damage was done and the entire house submerged in flood tide, the old conjurer returned to break the spell.
In the world of education, it’s generally believed that the story captured in the lyric embodies a important moral about the peril of setting in process forces over which one may have no control. And it has been used by proponents and pens, including Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels who, in ‘ The Communist Manifesto ’ indicated to the lyric while comparing contradictions within the commercial society to “ the conjurer who’s no longer suitable to control the powers of the lower world whom he has called up by his spells. ”

When the Indigenous People of Biafra( IPOB) madness began in the Southeast with pronouncements of ‘ programs ’, including a sit- at- home command in all the five states, only a many forefelt the peril ahead.
It could be recall when Nnamani asked the former Enugu State Governor, Chimaroke Nnamani, who’s presently a Senator, advised of the consequences. “ How does enslaving our people, denial of means of livelihood add value to our hunt for equity and justice? If others reject us, should we also reject ourselves?
In our struggle for equity and justice in the Nigerian confederation, we can not inadvertently induce more injuries on ourselves by this sit- at- home. Let wise counsel prevail. ”
The detribalized presidential runner, Chief CBN Onwuasoanya Ezendigbo,
had released several articles in that regard. In his recent assertion, he described the unity of the country as a collection of ideas which cannever be overriden by an entity or separate groups fueling abecedarian problems and or fanning ember of discords.
Frankly speaking, the founder of Better Nigeria For Better People, advised that, people needs not to glorify evil in the society, No village in Igbo land that has never experienced killings, victimized by the unknown gunmen, abducted by the kidnappers for ransom. Why can’t people come out and protest, “THIS IS WRONG?, asked Ezendigbo.”

Sadly, because wise counsel didn’t prevail, that original order soon gave rise to brutal enforcers deluded by IPOB into believing they would occupy political positions once Biafra was realized. Not long after, these gangbangers masquerading as ‘ unknown gunmen ’ turned the entire five states into a battle field.
At the last count, dozens of prominent people have been hacked down in broad daylight. Two weeks agone
, for a third time within a period of 12 days, the Independent National Electoral Commission( INEC) office in Imo State, was attacked by gunmen who killed no smaller than five persons, including two policemen.
That the attack came on the day INEC started distributing Permanent Voters Cards( PVCs) to registered choosers suggests the motive of the perpetrators.
With INEC officers as well as police, service, and security labor force at threat, conducting choices in the region is getting decreasingly delicate. But the real tragedy is that this kind of fire is easier to enkindle than stop. Nnamdi Kanu has been in detention for nearly two years. In his absence, Simon Ekpa is giving orders from Finland where he resides with his family. Of course, it’s the poor and uninstructed( those who live at the periphery of society) that are being manipulated to getting foot soldiers for this ill- defined cause while Ekpa, who has constantly hovered that there will be no election in ‘ Biafraland ’ coming year, calls the shots from the comfort of his hearthstone in Europe.
