There’s been this auditory disturbance about the mythical & wishful thinking “Third Force” ideology. An invention of some sort of a constellation of people who believe this is a great idea towards intervention. Here are some thoughts however; “All Logo No Brand”

It is such a shame that most people with a stint of an appointment under any admin, automatically assume they have been baptized as professional politicians and are entitled to erroneous ironclad guarantees on political outcomes.

You shouldn’t have to be convinced that seasoned Politicians are endangered species in our clime but the era of the proliferation of political hirelings, prostitutes, leap-froggers, nomads & morally bankrupt aspirants is upon us.

This is nothing short of an agglomeration of disgruntled political jobbers, who wish to take advantage of a bad situation to ingratiate themselves into the political clime as a factor, just for the sake of grabbing power. But it is more of a distraction at this point in time.

If my mother were among I will say the same. The mindless natterings is unfortunate as I see the very same band of flummoxed Parvenus mixing a pseudo Movement with up with a Political Party. It fails all the time. (see Action Group) Learn from history.

I’ve looked at the list of individuals involved in this & must tell you the only binding force here is their aspiration for political power with no passion or consideration of the people or Nigeria as it were. And bcos the incumbent know them well & their antecedents, it’ll fail.

Life in itself must be perceived as energy, vibration and frequency. The pendulum of the mind oscillates between common sense and nonsense. This is the time for consolidation not further division. It is a time for negotiation & dialogue towards a #NewNigeria.

There will be many new political parties. The earlier we know them the better. Let the permutations and combination begin. It is ironical for any group to arrogate to itself imaginary powers especially if they are populated by chips of the withering old brigade. Let’s get serious

I have said many times over publicly that discontent is never enough. Just emotions and dearth of clarity. Stakeholders usually don’t know what comes next in case of an accidental success. These matters are often shelved until later to avoid conflicts. (See APC).

The objectives usually look good on paper but nebulous in reality & actual intent. In order for enough people to have positive results, it must be driven by clear & realistic vision in which fighting others MUST not be a part. (Remember those who boast of fighting Corruption)

A vision that accounts for the world and humans the way they are actually right now. Not the way that we wish they will be or the way that we hope they might be. And we must differentiate between that which can & cannot be changed in the short term. Fighting PDP/APC is not a Plan

It is either that or you are not a Force at all but a bunch of inebriated and adulterated Josephs/Josephines living in a bubble. Nigerians want an un-recycled Credible, Capable, Competent, Charismatic & Perspicacious leader void of religious & ethnic bigotry.

Communication is key. If you MUST market anything to our generation, it must be balanced in sentiments and logic. In a divided country such as ours, people are far more sensitive to smell foul play.

There’s absolutely no chance that anyone of you is going to convince all the others that your way is the right way. Unless of course one of you rises to political power and forces others by the barrel of the GUN.

This is the way it used to happen throughout history & this is what we must avoid repeating. The movement is only successful if it starts with an idea strong enough to take root in the minds of the population, inspires and motivates people to spread it. 3rdForce failed this test.

We are tired of playing the game of interests especially with folks who are countries away from discovering their grave Occhiolism. Nigerians don’t need to be rescued please, we simply need to rescue ourselves and break the chains of mental slavery.

The Revolution Train is already here. Driven by people who are mentally aware of the self and dead to self. The less the distractions the better. Conflicted folks perambulating around the idea of either being a Movement or political Party should not distract the people.

The acronyms are not the issue, PDP/APC is all semantics. It’s all about the demonstration of sincerity, credibility, goodwill and antecedents. The currency for the next election is TRUST. Can we trust any of You?! 🤔 (Rhetorical)

If my mother were among I will say the same. The mindless nattering is unfortunate as I see the very same band of flummoxed Parvenus mixing a pseudo Movement up with a Political Party. It fails all the time. (see Action Group) Learn from history.

The approach & strategy may be wrong but this doesn’t invalidate the fact that we applaud the stance of each and everyone who believes that Nigeria is officially in the doldrums and the current trajectory is unsustainable. There’s always a chance to start afresh intelligently.
