Tokenism- The Hallmark Of Failed Representation~Prince Eze Ugochukwu.

Tokenism- The Hallmark Of Failed Representation~Prince Eze Ugochukwu.

Tokenism is defined as the practice or policy of making no more than a token effort or gesture done for the sake of appearances. They are nominal and often minimal.

Offensively starring Nigerians in the face are amusing characters and personalities prancing around dangling crumbs on hungry and farmished citizens as dividends of democratic representation.

Comic characters who rode on the broken backs of the poor masses to amass illegal and stolen wealth from government has reduced the art of representation to tokenism.

You hardly can see any tangible or lasting legacy-project attributed to them. Their ineffective occupation of political office has led to insecurity, failed healthcare services, educational decay, joblessness, and economic doldrums. This is where Nigeria has found itself at the moment.

Steeped in primitive accumulation of ill-gotten wealth, these shameless prankstars have destroyed the moral fabrics of our society.

The #Endsars agitation has clearly exposed the angst of the poor masses towards these buccaneers. Sooner or later, the centre will no longer hold for these enemies of the people.

IMO STATE PUBLIC ENLIGHTENMENT Safety and security is vital to prosperity in any community - Governor Uzodimma has not abdicated his responsibility to anybody By: Prince Eze Ugochukwu. In developed countries, local authorities normally go beyond the normal defence and policing structure to embrace and incoporate the citizens as part of the security architecture, working closely together across all areas that contribute to security. Only last week, the Imo State Governor interfaced with Traditional Rulers,Town Union President Generals and community youth leaders in a new, systemic approach to security that broadens participation. Although security is a core task of governments, it can’t be achieved in isolation. It needs to be viewed holistically, with governments taking the lead in encouraging, and nurturing collaboration across all institutions, sectors and divides in order to deliver the security that is vital. And this is exactly what the Governor has put together i...
