Yet, our country has failed abysmally to live up to the lofty aspirations of the founding fathers of independent Nigeria. Our fundamental problem is the persistent phenomenon of agbata ekee leadership which has crippled everything. Corruption, ineptitude, hypocrisy, absence of accountability and transparency in governance, and lack of compassion for the less privileged etc have impeded the realisation of our developmental aspirations.

It is well known that National Assembly members have perfected the art of manipulating federal budgets to satisfy their deadly insatiable appetite for primitive accumulation. Smart Adeyemi, chairman senate committee on federal character and inter-governmental affairs, is so disappointed with the avarice of his colleagues that he has called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to investigate federal legislators for corruption.

Jonathan’s predecessor, Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, frankly acknowledged that the elections that brought them to power were flawed. Therefore, the President is morally obliged to support electoral reforms that would eliminate the flaws. It is unfortunate that he has to work in concert with a National Assembly overwhelmingly dominated by crude Machiavellians actuated by instincts of primitive accumulation and political survivalism.

I plead with my readers to bear with me one more time so that we can properly conclude our indepth critique of Wallace’s and Olatunji’s fallacies and deliberate misinterpretations of the theory of evolution. Last week we drew attention to the fact that Adam and Eve, the first human beings allegedly created directly by God were amoral ab initio, according to the book of Genesis.

However, Einstein never identified with any religion and he repeatedly distanced himsellf from the anthropomorphic deity of conventional religions. Although Marxist philosophy is not my area of specialisation, I know enough about it to be sure that Olatunji cannot provide any credible source to back his claim Karl Marx supported war on the ground that “betterment of the unfortunate might hinder the selection by survival of the fittest.”
