The Oroko Ghost Protocols

Aside the customized cries, weeping, agony, pain and coincidental but enormous collateral damage already inflicted upon or suffered by the Oroko people, we have again been caught in the crossfire and an unending wave of brutal north-east winds of change.

Unlike the protocols of the learned elders of Zion whose literary touch reveals the signals running through the minds and blood of the Jewish and Zionist forefathers, this crossfire and unending wave of brutal winds of change are ghost protocols to the Oroko people. The socio-cultural stagnation, politico-economic backwardness and purported though genocidal development within the Oroko land are just vivid reminders of the Germano-Duala brutal winds of change which were still ghost protocols to the peace loving and hardworking Oroko people.

In my greatest astonishment and it beats my normal human understanding why during such hard times or that when these tragedies set in, contemporary millennials jump into religious fables Oh lord have mercy, only God knows why, God please save us or God please answer our prayers. From the foregoing, it is absolutely more evident that this is childishness in its highest degree. It would therefore be quite sane to concur that our education has been entirely based on a dogmatic fanatical religious scheme and foundation in which we were taught how and what to believe but never taught how to think responsibly. The powers of responsible thinking and pro-activity in crisis times were removed from the deepest parts of our consciences and replaced with feelings of powerlessness and resignation.

Yes, a few Oroko people have this critical, powerful and thought provoking mindset. Just like me, they are asking themselves and seeking answers to numerous unanswered queries and questions like what are our individual and collective responsibilities or roles in these ghost protocols? Yes, these are ghost protocols because the literary touch doesn’t reveal the signals running through the minds and blood of the Oroko people. We therefore know not what we can do to avoid being caught-up and entangled in the claws of this game of thrones neither do we master the art of blocking it from happening over and over again.

You may prefer to differ from my stance but I am of the opinion that in this game of thrones, what matters most is the shift or balance of power. Therefore, it is this balance of power that dictates which side comes out victorious. This power equilibrium usually tends to shift should policy makers choose the other side of the team be it the losing or winning team. 

The Oroko people now have to become solution oriented, take the responsibility of finding effective and efficient strategies on how to curtail and divert this policy makers’ obstacle. The Oroko people have to create and impose their own version of these ghost protocols, what is good for them, vision and future of today’s Oroko.  

This Oroko generation of super degree holders mimicking democracy on radio, newspapers, internet and television without the least impact on the Oroko people should be aware that, anything that effectively and efficiently works quickly draws mass attention. Let this virtual nature become real such that it will certainly push the so called Oroko policy makers or political class to review their position or risk rejection. If we start thinking this way and change to normal brain-wracking Oroko  people, we will become solution oriented and stop acting like victims of a situation we can’t change or transform. The art of cooperation enshrined in our culture and tradition would be enhanced, this efficient and effective system will take root, with giant and very bold steps, it will work if implemented, moreso others will follow to take the challenge.
