Today’s Politics, at its noblest essence, is envisioned as a sacred covenant of service, a deliberate communion between the people and those chosen to articulate their collective aspirations. Yet, in Ohuhu land, this covenant has been marred by an unwholesome culture of rivalry, envy, and deliberate self-sabotage. What ought to be a forum for progress has tragically degenerated into a theatre of internal hostility where ambition eclipses loyalty and bitterness overshadows wisdom.
The most disheartening phenomenon is the tendency of some Ohuhu sons and daughters to conspire with external detractors against their own. This spectacle of internal betrayal is not merely political; it is sociological and deeply psychological. It reveals a moral decay that corrodes the very pillars of communal identity. When a people begin to derive satisfaction from the downfall of their own, they erode their moral capital and relinquish their pride of place in the comity of clans.
History reminds us that no civilization, no matter how endowed, thrives under the siege of internal strife. Great societies are built not on the perfection of their leaders but on the unyielding solidarity of their people. When a community becomes a cauldron of envy and acrimony, it ceases to grow; it begins to implode. The true enemy, therefore, is not the rival across the aisle but the spirit of division that blinds brothers to their shared destiny.
This internal warfare has far-reaching consequences. Development does not germinate in the soil of discord. Investors and institutions are repelled by disunity. Governments hesitate to extend strategic attention to communities that appear fractured and self-destructive. In the marketplace of influence, a divided people are easily ignored because their voices cancel each other out.
It is time for introspection, a moment for Ohuhu to look into the mirror of history and confront the image staring back. Must ambition continually override reason? Must politics become a weapon of vengeance rather than an instrument of development? The dignity of a people is not measured by how fiercely they criticize one another but by how wisely they defend their collective reputation.
Ohuhu must rediscover the sanctity of solidarity, that ancestral virtue that once bound its sons and daughters under the banner of mutual respect and shared heritage. The politics of demolition must give way to the politics of restoration. The people must remember that unity is not a sign of weakness but a badge of wisdom. Only when Ohuhu learns to shield its own and silence the chorus of envy will true progress find its home again in the land of their fathers.
