Man and Power

 Opinion news

               My opinion news of the day is on Man and Power, no one is against a power of any kind, when a man get in the position of power most of the times their behavior change, and certain views are no longer the same, however let me try to give the meaning of Power and Man, first what is Power? there is many meaning for this word but I prefer this one, Power is the capacity or ability to direct or influence the behavior of others or the course of events, what is Man? according to theology anthropology man is a being or person with 3 part which is Body, Soul, Spirit. by this meaning we will understand the relationship between Man and Power. 

               Let me put this in perspective, God who He is called the almighty which is all powerful, and his power has no limited, however let me say this He has control over his power, that is where the difference is between God and man, there a movie which was play by Jim Carrey and Morgan Freeman. Jim Carrey play as a man, Morgan Freeman play as God, when Jim Carrey became God, he did used the power anyhow, that show how when man have the power can he behavior, I will like the put it clear that not all man can not control the power. Now in the context of the world of the influencers how do we see power in the man, how can a power in the man control or direct the events? Can the power in democracy especially in Africa manageable? what about the strong man power?

             In today world it is like a cancer every men want to have a power of the sort any way He is, look about footballers without naming names they go with how many followers the have in their social medias that make them to be super stars, it goes the same with musicians, actors, politicians, and preachers of the word of God, also check the movies on the super heroes, all of these movies are all about power with one man who will come to save the day of the doom of the world, there is another power which is in the negative and which the movies and tv series portray it as villain, in fact it is all about power.

           I observe these, they are countries which are in the competition and try to make the rest of the countries to submit to them, example you will hear the American said their country is the most powerful on the earth, can we say no to that I do not think so, why they have the money, the influence the world and the event of the world easily and what they want they will get it, they have also the most powerful army in the world, all of these aspect make them to be the powerful country in the world, of course Russian and China may said no to this but they will concede that the American economy is more powerful than their, therefore they are powerful, also by they have manage to impose their way to many of the countries and they became the bunch mark of the rest. There is also the power one man imposing his influence on the rest, A man like Vladimir Putin the Russian president or let me call him the president for life, he have the capacity or the ability to influence the behavior of others or the course of events, today he has manage to put fear on the Russian and make them think He is the messiah which will bring the old great Russian back, it is like without him they will be no Russian, same with XI Jimping of China, these people control and direct everything in their countries, no one can dare say anything, in fact the notion of accountability is not for them until death set them a part. if you want to compare the Russian and China ways with the democracy ways of the west there is great gap between, I am not saying the west is better, because even in the west we have those who called themselves as the extreme right wing whom also want power at all cost by being racist, in Africa we have the combination of both which they called themselves as strong man, these one started since the down of independence of African countries, until today in the so called democracy, the question us African we must ask is which one can be great for us, a powerful man who call in all of us to toy the line for the better the life of all of us? or dictator with to much power and he can not better the life of us? or a democracy power that we can not master because of the way we are with ethnic and tribe? in conclusion I can man and power are called to be hand in hand with a proper guidance otherwise it will be a disaster, a man with to much power he is a danger to himself and society as all.
