Those who are familiar with how madness begins to manifest in a person, will tell you that no man becomes mad in just one day. Madness fol...
But for the ordinary folks like us, we also some times notice this sequence more so when the subject is closely related to us. Signs of mental illness may start with the subject being unusually moody which could represent depression or in some cases the subject may become unusually aggressive and hyperactive called hyperactive disorder.
If the subject is subjected to treatment at these early stages, psychiatrists tell us, the mental health can be corrected but if not, the situation could deteriorate. Soon the subject begins to neglect his personal hygiene and then may begin to speak incoherently similar to what is called psychotic disorder. I am told that even at this stage the situation can still be remedied if urgent medical attention is sought and the patient can be persuaded or compelled to take the prescribed medicines.
When this is not done, the Patient may leave home and begin to walk about aimlessly. Soon he may begin to tear his dresses and could even begin to inflict injuries on himself. At this point, he may be said to have become schizophrenic. Again those who heal mental people tell me that even at this stage something can still be done to save the situation.
But when the subject goes down to removing his clothes completely and arrives at the Market place( particularly on Anyigba market days) the situation is regarded as very grave and at even at this near end stage, there remains a slim chance of reversal. However if the subject finally dances to the music played in the market place by both visible and invisible drummers and singers, the matter is declared hopeless and the madness fully grown . In igala it is call, OGA KIMAGBOGWU. Only a miracle can now reverse the madness.
Our kogi state has been going through the rites of insanity in the last 4 years since yahya bello assumes office some how we have failed to take remedial actions to restore the state to sanity. One of the earliest visible signs came when some guys decided that nobody can survive without supporting the government of yahaya bello and then began to attack homes and latter offices , killing and maiming innocent citizens What is the problem?
What do they want? We letter detect that their madness is to return bello to the seat but today there succeeded of doing it becouse the messiah call Muhammad buarri we both vote in as a president turn to something else and turn against us, Psychologists and psychiatrists tell me that when people begin to act in bizarre manners and you can not relate their actions to remote or immediate causes, then insanity is a probable diagnosis.
We lost many innocent souls to government of Apc in kogi state, thugs, kidnapper, day light robbery, cultist, kogi state have the highest number of crimes in Nigeria do to the bad leadership..
#GOD INTERVENTIONS IS OUR LAST HOPE.
