Recent happenings in Nigeria have geared my attention to look into our peculiar circumstances and discern the factors that may hinder the emergence of a strong United Nigeria built on the ideals of democracy, good governance, and respect of the rule of law, humanity and advancement from grass to grace.

Nigeria is a country where almost anything goes. The political aspect has been hijacked mainly by a political party that has weakened the sub structure (economy) since the inception of this democracy in 1999 till date.
The drivers of the politics are high on their ludicrous ideas, which are so fundamentally flawed, that it is impossible for their followers and apologists to give reasons why a leader deserves a second term having performed below expectation. These days the agents of government swarm all over the place lacking superior logic.
A statement was credited to an octogenarian Chief Edwin Clarke that nobody can stop the reelection of Goodluck Jonathan come 2015. The octogenarian, a former Federal Minister in the First Republic just like every other Nigerian is entitled to his opinion as enshrined in the 1999 Constitution but forgot to give reasons why Nigerians can’t stop Goodluck Jonathan. He should engage us on how stable our economy and power supply are? How equipped our hospitals that is if they have ever visited one for medical checkup? What is the standard of our education? Are they being given a new look with proper and adequate funding as required by UNESCO? How have they been able to curb the menace of corruption with strong laws to prosecute criminals? What are the collective efforts of the Federal Government to protect lives and properties with senseless killings ranging from bombings, kidnappings and ethno religious conflicts? etc
Is Chief Clarke oblivious of the fact that sentiments is gradually fading out in Nigeria? Issues based arguments are the order of the day on who gets what, when and how?
Chief Clarke is bereft of the fact Nigeria is so big that this new world of Social Media is availing the conscious, progressives and particularly the apolitical to be political on contemporary political issues.
Realistically, can we have free and fair elections with the unfortunate remarks from those heating the polity including the opposition parties? I strongly believe we can because we are living in a fast changing world of primitive to modern that is beefed up with grievances.
Can we continue to be chained to devil’s devices? Can we continue to be chained to all kinds of crises? Can we continue to live in perpetual fear courtesy of insecurity? Can we continue to tolerate corruption of the political elites and the adoption and imposition factor? Change is all I am waiting for from every Nigerian because I represent Nigeria
Sequel to the above questions, I charge you all out there to stop this nation from crashing as predicted by the US THINK TANK Group in 2015. Let’s wake this sleeping redundant Giant country. Let’s uproot all evil plans so as to celebrate with fireworks not bombs. The ultimate power of any democratic government lies with the people. Resist to be chained and pinned down with the wrong choice either at your local, state or at the national level for any elective post they are seeking for.
