Abstract

There is an aesthetical and intuitive plank or link between morality and governance. Also there is a phenomenological bridge among existential questions and semiotics of immorality, bad governance, lawlessness, food insecurity, un accountability, lack of transparency, religious extremism, insurgency, inflation, corruption, mismanagement, domestic violence, misogyny, gender problems and political instability. Most of our Nigerian writers and dramatists have no virtue and the knowledge. They wear ethnic cocoon or biases that could not allow them to discern the truth, say it and ready to die for it as Socrates did? One is either an Oracle of wisdom or the oracle of truth like Socrates or not; there is no halfway to it, it is an absolute confession otherwise it is not oracular.
