The word fascism comes from the Latin fasces, which denotes a bundle of wooden rods that typically included a protruding axe blade. In ancient Rome, lictors (attendants to magistrates) would hold the fasces as a symbol of the penal power of their magistrate. The first European fascist, Benito Mussolini, adopted this symbol both to recall the greatness of the Roman Empire and to reinforce his authority as the eventual dictator of Italy. Fascist regimes like his required their citizens to be as unified as the tightly bound fasces.
Fascism was born in Italy during World War I and came to power with the ex-journalist and war veteran Benito Mussolini in 1922. Since the 1950s, dozens of top historians and political scientists have put fascism, especially the Italian and German versions, under the microscope. They’ve come up with a pretty solid agreement on what it is, both as a political ideology and as a political movement, factoring in all the things its progenitors said as they ascended to power.
Nobel laureate gave Peoples Democratic Party the name"Nest of killers" after series of politically motivated assassinations during the inglorious era of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, the name stuck. Now he's given a new name to the"Obingos""Nattering nitwits". His coinages always have deep meanings and huge impact. No wonder Gani Fawehinmi of the blessed memory said he always had a dictionary on standby anytime Soyinka speaks.
It is instructive to note that ObiBients are like IPOB with similar trajectory and templates. IPOB are insane and senseless bigots and hypocrites. It's good that all sane and sensible people are now seen their madness. Prof Chukwuma Soludo, called them:"Headless mob" thereafter, the Nobel laureate Prof Wole Soyinka validates that of Prof Chukwuma Soludo and described Peter Obi's ignoble movement called ObiBients as"Nattering nitwits" also Prof.
