"KNOW NO MERIT" Syndrome

Adverse Effects of "Impunious" Manipulations......otherwise called "PDP Syndrome"
Since the draws, matches and victories of UEFA Champions' League, I've (and sure most of U also) read many of analytical combinations and permutations on how FIFA via UEFA influenced the pairing of the teams towards maximising profits at the Final Match from attendance. Not a few Football-Loving Nigerians turned Analytical writers.
First, they cried "PDP!" when the two Spanish teams weren't paired to play in the Semi-Final. They accused FIFA via UEFA of trying to set up another "Classico" with the Final. When the 1st-legs of the crucial matches were played and the two German clubs won, these unfortunate analysts suffering from this PDP- Syndrome started calculating match dates; 23+4+13= 40 to them meaning Bayern Munich 4 and Barcelona 0. Same with 24+4+13= 41 which they also shared; Dortmond 4 and Madrid 1. All these analysis geared towards supporting that the fixtures were "manipulatedly" fixed. They never considered the word "Merit" because the illness our ruling party has subjected us to in Nigeria has made "Merit", Anathema.
We've been so subjected to this syndrome that many now think that everything is "Fixed" in every society and in all enterprise. Nigeria has been eaten so deep by this syndrome that our ruling party even has one "Mr. Fit It"as the Party BOT Chairman. Hence, almost everything; appointments, contracts, election results, JAMB results, crude-oil output, state governments allocations and even Violence are all fixed and manipulated by the party at the centre. It was in Bayelsa not quite long ago, had also been in Ogun and Ondo states, they have tried severally in Edo and Imo States but about succeeding in Rivers state.
Can any nation ever succeed with this syndrome that corrupts and eats that part of our human cells, which make us strive for "Merits"??? And with all our "Fixing and Manipulation", they can not stir this "God blessed" nation in the path of economic and technological growths for about 14years they've enjoyed power-syndrome. Instead, they've infested the masses with this "know no merit" syndrome.
