HUMAN NATURE FROM THE LENS OF NYAKIYAISM-Nyakiya Nyakiyaism(Political Scientist, UoN)



As a social scientist, I have deposited some reasonable  amount time in studying the diverse human orientations. Dissecting the human specimen into biological, religious and politico-social components I have assembled groups of multifarious traits to redefine human beings as important constituent elements of the planet earth: Generally human beings are caring, charming, considerate, funny, excitable and polite. But they can also be belligerent, boorish, cowardly, cruel, dangerous and defiant. These behavioural manifestations are fully depended on the environment in which they find themselves. As a keen psephologist, I have come to conclude that human beings are political puppets in well organized power punch and Judy shows. As a political puppet, man/woman is a creepy, finicky, flippant, furtive, jittery and erratic being. He/she is selfishly cunning and unpredictable, openly denouncing despotism while entrenching saprophagous democratic structures. As a servant, he/she rebukes graft and impunity but meticulously ingurgitates public wealth as a master. On a religious lens, human beings are rapidly eluded, egocentric, irrational, seeking, narcissistic and hopelessly optimistic. Left to his/her spiritual convictions, a human being is a perfect incarnate of a demogorgon. Biologically, human beings are programmed to be perpetually greedy,nihilistic and ignorant. But they can also be lovable, sweet -bitter, proud and conscientious. Again whatever personality they exhibit is usually in response to an anticipated or existing situation. I have taken time to monitor the inharmonious interactions of humanity and I can conclude with finality that the sociocultural landscape in which man/woman finds him/herself as a capricious learner and actor is destructive, sporadic and violent. Such an evil set up, intoxicates the mind which is at birth, a pure tabula rasa. The result is a defective process which renders man/woman a persistent saint and criminal at the same time. Forget romantic categorizations, human beings, after all is said and done, remain twisted, deceptive, stupid, stubborn and curious..Turbulence and wrath which encircle their surrounding have made them reactionary beings.
