Robotic Politicians; The Tamale Guys Need Elevation

For the master not to be outshined, Robert Green proffered a simplistic formula for him to at all times, hold his followers as captives. Robert Green's laws of POWER share several similitude with Niccolo Machiavelli's principles of the PRINCE.

In all of these, the two writers, that is, Robert Green and Nichollo Machiavelli, provides clear-cut methodologies for assuming the status of a LEADER and consolidating same by maintaining some level of following. Robert Green observes that for a leader to have more powers over his followers, he must present himself as a god for worship.

The truth is often avoided because it is ugly and unpleasant. Lies will always have some level of suppression over truth, but in the end, the truth remains the victor. More than a year today, I've been observing keenly; the political version being played in the Tamale metropolis among the youth, and can conclude that there's an ignoramus cankerous with the potentials to spark mayhem and throw the chaotic recovering metropolis back into a new set of anarchy and chaos. This in my humble view, it's a security threat.

It's often said there's no smoke without fire. For every effect, there's an obvious cause. The growing political ignorance and robotic behaviors of the youth from both political divides, and more emphatically the NDC can be linked to some so-called masters of the game who deems it fit to consolidate their powers by inciting a path of US versus THEM mentality.

By achieving their aims, they deceive the youth into believing in the fantasies of sudden transformation that'll bring a total change in their fortunes. They make the youth to believe in the ecstasy of bypassing work, luck, self sacrifice and time for a fantastic stroke.

The best deceptions are the ones that seem to give the youth a choice. They make them choose between the "us" or the "them". People have an overwhelming desire to believe in something, and these leaders have positioned themselves as the focal point of that desire by offering them a cause and a new faith to follow.

Many at times, I try to draw rationality from the believe system of these ignoramus youngsters, and all I can deduce is: They're captured in emphasising enthusiasm over clear thinking.

Why are they political robots?
Robots are technologically induced creatures controlled from a central system that manipulates them to perform specific functions, mostly, to suit the interests and needs of a person(s). The many youngsters that are divided between the US versus THEM war in the Tamale metropolis act for and on behalf of their paymasters who control them from a central system. For such robots, they're not masters of themselves and for that matter, they believe the enemies of their bosses must be their enemies too. They're offered weapons of opponent destruction. They're empowered with tools and promises of heaven on earth. They'd spend the whole day on social media to work for their masters, even when the so-called masters are asleep or busy counting monies in their bedrooms.

The robotic behaviours of the promising intelligent youngsters are mind boggling and disheartening to the ordinate' of the human brain and for that matter must be eschewed.

The elevator principle......
I do not fault any youngster with an interest in politics. However, youngsters must always be reminded that politics is a science and the set of principles around this science must be studied and mastered. The growing madness of HARUNA BOYS and INUSAH/MUTALA BOYS is meaningless, purposeless, direction-less and vision-less. It's one major misfortune that has eaten up the senses of many youngsters of the NDC in the Tamale metropolis.

The Tamale guys who are consumed in this misfortune need exhumation in order to be elevated to the reality.

Your masters are using you for their selfish gains and you must wake up to the reality.

Haruna Iddrisu(Hon) went to Parliament in 2005, and Inusah Fuseini(Hon) went to Parliament in 2006. Most of you who follow them as their boys were already adults at the time. You were matured and could participate in decision making in various capacities. Now, take a careful look at where you belong as a "boy" and where they are as "masters". Hon Haruna owns a construction firm, many businesses, buildings and fleet of cars. Hon Inusah owns a construction firm, businesses, mansions and fleet of cars. Compare that to the IPad, Laptops and motorbikes they're buying for you and you'll realize that you're just being fooled.

Have we buried our conscience as humans? We insult and gag in the name of serving Haruna or Inusah. We tell lies to serve them. We disrespect to serve them. Have we changed God's wisdom of the day of reckoning? Do we think that has changed? Well, we shall answer to Him on the day of judgement; the evils we commit to serve our masters.

You need elevation in your kind of politics. Tell me who you'll serve when your Haruna and your Inusah are no more MPs or Ministers. And if they die, will you still insult and gag in their names?

We all need positive empowerment. A successful leader is the one who empowers his followers with a vision of them being better than him when he's no more a leader. The iPads and computers are meant to empower you and not to destroy you. The choice is yours. Choose not to be destroyed.
