Question: Why do some people with the highest level of education reduce their level of reasoning to intellectual degredation and quackery? I am referring to an article in NigeriaWorld.com "The Generals are Coming". I read this article and frankly, I was not particularly impressed by the decency given to the Nigerian Generals neither was I stimulated by the professor's reasoning.

Your thoughts.

Hail Biafra

Thirthy-four years of Military dictatorship what do you expect. It will take an equal amount of time to rid Nigeria's consciousness of the malaise that is Militaritis.

The Nigerian-state is still held hostage by these characters even when retired. Hence the Professor in question writes in his state of paranoia. They hijacked the country, rendered it thier cash cow, do you think that they'll willy-nilly depart into oblivion?

You have to remember that most of these Generals with no known contribution to Nigerian Military Science with the exception of a handfull are anti-intellectuals. Most top University professors were enticed and corrupted by the Military machine in Nigeria.

To be quite frank with you, most Nigerians following what happened in PDP convention in Jos in 1998 are apprehensive, and do not know what next these guys have up their sleves. In their quest for self perpetuation and preservation anything is possible in Nigeria. They are particularly mindfull of who comes to power in Nigeria fearing being brought to swift justice
