We go through time as one would wade through a flowing stream. This view of time is shared by many physicists and polymaths – there! I said it – like me. It is explained as the concept of time as an illusion.
Albeit Einstein argued that ALL of time is here. All the time that will ever be, the past, the present and the future, its all here – this is when you take a theoretical step back and look at the universe like it’s inside a box. That is why I say time is a stream, you are just moving through it. The clock- is not time, it’s just a means of “counting” the time.
Other’s however argue that time is a linear construct. What has happened has happened and the future is yet to happen. They are arguably right too, albeit because they argue from inside that time construct. It is similar to characters in a video game being aware of their existence within that simulated environment. Without the ability to escape that simulation, time will flow only linearly for them.
What’s this one talking about you ask. What I’m saying is that irrespective of your physics or oblivion of it, it really doesn’t matter that time is an illusion if you are within that block universe and taking part in that illusion. That illusion is your reality and for you to survive in that reality, you must take part in that illusion.
“One thing I have learned in a long life: That all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike – and yet it is the most precious thing we have.” – Albert Einstein
This brings me to the topic. I have often asked people to participate in their own reality. When people don’t participate in their own reality, they leave a few
There is NOTHING happening now that has not happened before, this holds true for politics near and far, ditto peace, war and nation-building. Men will always try to cheat other men and people will always want to enslave others unless there is resistance. ALL OF TIME IS HERE.
IPOB is at the vanguard of freeing Igboland from the death grip of a murderous feudal and parasitic oligarchy in the north; fight began by General Ojukwu which got a hiatus after the loss of a rigged war. Right now, the people concerned have made the exact mistake they made that led to having to attempt a breakaway in the first place, many are refusing to participate in their own reality. Refusal to do this has left the determination of their reality in the hands of a few. Passion is only a part of the zest required for freedom, tact, education and wisdom make up the greatest parts.
The Yoruba majority are making this same exact mistake and doing so on a macro and micro level.
The same way they waltz into a Lagos state – and indeed the entire south-west – where criminals who rigged elections and became governors now make strange men from other clans the Kabiyesi(s). They watch still as radical, violent and tactless few are championing the demand for the independence of the Yoruba nation.
The Yoruba nation has two choices, be a free nation or be more violently enslaved by the northern oligarchs. This is not much of a choice for any rational person. To be rational, however, demands participation in reality.
We now have the likes of a certain Adeyinka Grandson that spews hate against the Igbos whilst in reality he is pandering to Pa Tinubu who himself sold out the Yorubas to the Fulani for his own greedy interests. This quest for freedom and nationhood which should be tactical, directed and sophisticated is now descending into idiotic movements and protests such as human beings demonstrating against the purchase of lands in Lagos by Igbos. If they are not stupid, how will you protest against people who BOUGHT the land YOU SOLD? So you have taken their money but you still want your land?. Area boys now determine who becomes your counsellor, LG chairperson, governor and lawmakers, yet you pretend you live outside the system.
This call is to all Southerners, specifically to the Yorubas. You need to come down to earth from your imaginary space location where you stare down at Nigeria like it’s a block universe. You are not outside the simulation, you are right smack in the middle of it, take part in your own reality!
It is clear that the Fulani elites see Nigeria as their slave camp. If anyone was in doubt of this prior to May 2015, Buhari the mad Mahdi has erased all such doubts. Nigeria WILL BREAK UP. I know this because ALL OF TIME IS HERE and everything that will happen has happened before.
What is the plan for the day after Buhari is gone? If you are not prepared for that day, preparations have been made for you to drive you deeper into eternal servitude, a slavery you fund! If you don’t actively join in the quest for nationhood and take a leadership role in it now, people like Adeyinka Grandson will become your new leader who will eventually call for your stoning or summary execution for daring to have an opinion down the line.
If you don’t want to be ruled, participate in your own governance!
As for those whom Nigeria was handed to in 1960; brave old men go down with their ships. They order the young men to abandon ship – saving their lives – so those ones can carry on fighting with new ships. Cowardly old men, however, order young men to sink with damaged ships whilst they jump ship. The latter are the vile men you call your leaders in Nigeria.
Good for you however, you now have the benefit of hindsight. No.., it is not a paradox. You have hindsight because you know what will happen because it has happened. The question is, are you willing to control your illusion or have your reality determined for you by lesser minds?
Time.., will tell but you can also tell time what to do.
