PROLOGUE
A people’s condition is a state of their mind.
The cliché above explains a people’s condition in relation to their mind set. The overtime disposition of people brought about by their subconscious informed psycho mental overview of life and things in general. The precepts that overtime form the collective way of thought of an individual, family, group or society at large. The result of thought formation process brought about by fractions of ideas having formed an ideology with which we observe, analyze, judge and respond to all circumstances at every point in time.
The mind-condition relationship is enormous and cannot be overemphasized. It determines the ideology of a people and their behavioral outcome and condition.
The thrust of this book (Nigeria Dilema) is analyzed from a different dimension (cause), from what used to be the familiar focal point of discussion (problems). Primarily, the condition overtime of Nigeria is untowardly chaotic giving the vast arrays of problems from all dimensions of life that confront us as citizens and those who overtime inhabit her. Problems such as socioeconomic, political, and other human milieu that hold us in a web of despair, bitterness, self pity and anger as well to say a least. The collective dispositionary condition is one of hardships, series upon another and seemingly unending as is evident in the society. We often time identify these problems and extensively espouse on the negative consequences that we have had to face as a people, however, without identifying the cause which is actually the main issue and the most important reference point at rectifying the problems from the bottom in order to uproot the problems from their root cause so as to eliminate them once and for all. The human habit perhaps is a huge challenge, it is thus very important to first put this into consideration in order to understand where we are coming from so as to have a clear vision of the issue we are dealing with as well as understanding where we hope to head. In order to arrive at a desired destination.
The dispositionary attitude of the people hasn’t been too forward looking in terms of growth and development. One informed by a Psycho mental Distortion
. The first step at solving any problem is the identification of the cause or the source of the problem. Without that the problem cannot be solved. The good news is that the problem is not one without a cure but, that once realized and dealt with rightly, we are about to turn a new chapter, rewrite history and change our condition once we retune our minds to positive and forward looking thoughts, tolerant, productive, loving, accommodating and peaceful outlook and united above all in a common pursuit towards a desirable condition for all of us.
No single person is particularly better than another other than their mind and attitudinal disposition towards life and people in general. Respect for humanity, love, peace, tolerance and acceptance are all key to
