FRANK ONAIVI UKONGA'S ARTICLE: THE DILEMMA OF THE OPRESSOR/ SOPHIST

THE DILEMMA OF THE OPPRESSOR \ SOPHIST:
In political Philosophy there manifest a dilemma of the oppressor when the oppressor or sophist begins to suffer from the pains he inflicts on the masses he is oppressing and that is the simple case with the situation we are facing in Nigeria and  the 21st century mankind in generality.
Economists are thought the Adams Smith's Laws of Scarcity which invigorates and generate demand... but are oblivious of the laws of surplus and the aspects of Joseph Shumpeteriam polit- economy \ Maltusian theories of the laws of diminishing returns which manifest in virtually all spheres of this life... and it was that oppressive philosophy of looting the Nation dry by its leaders that has led to this problem of today but if the 7th Republic deliver on the great destiny before her, most of the reasons of violence , restive youth  etc will dissipate from our politics as  our democracy matures up and there should be no need to truncate its crawling stage and jump it into a full walking concept overnight.. we have to allow for the democratic dispensation to pass through all stages.
