Countries succeed or fail depending on the interplay of the types of political parties — whether they be of light or of darkness — that contest for power, get the power, and govern that society.
In two party systems, the society flourish when the two parties are parties of light; so that whichever party that wins does good to society.
If one of the political parties is of light, while the other is of darkness, the society can still prosper whenever the party of light comes to power, although each time the party of darkness wins power, the good deeds of the party of light are often erased.
But when the two political parties are of darkness, there is no way that country can succeed or make any form of progress. This last combination is the lot and bane of African countries, especially Nigeria.
But as a movement of light is born and takes root in the country, bringing about the disintegration of one of the parties of darkness, part of the supporters and promoters of the disintegrating party will repent and join the light, while the denser parts will naturally gravitate towards the darkness with whom they share affinities.
Ultimately, in Nigeria, it has already become a contest between the power of light and the power of darkness.
