Nigeria is no more a lad when it comes to the area of electoral processes. Since 1960 when the nation has been wearing the sovereign garment which marked the country as the independent one. We manage our potentials, we govern ourselves and no influence as during the colonialism. With three tiers of government, four years in office, as it is written down, there must be poll to fix out the credible leaders. Is all our elections bring credible leaders?
In Nigeria, except the June 12 1993 election that was marked locally, internationally as the credible one but the credible leader was not on the chair of honour. Only thing we heard afterward was the deceleration of his death. The country managed to live in destitute. It so ironical that a nation that is blessed with both human and natural resources can still bite her fingers at the end of the day. With the aim to halt this, Nigerians have been looking for ways of getting out this awful condition. One of the ways is election. Like the one conducted on Saturday in Anambra state, the election did not voice the masses opinion-it had to be canceled by the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC due to its incredibility. But another poll is knocking in 2015, Anambra poll is the epitome of 2015 election.
Since the leaders are not ready for the masses, let there be a new dawn to appear in the new day. Arise Nigerians! How would you cast your vote in 2015 general election? If a leader cannot help you, help the leader.
Have you read or heard, About one Claudius Caesar, Of the Roman Empire? Who was both cruel and wicked, Germanicus who died at 30: But proudly massacred his wives; And children before departure except one. Was he just diplomatic? Not that alone; but also got proclaimed, As an adult at 14. Lately, in my own world, Have I seen the living replica of, The proud and dreadful Emperor. Like I remain battered, Shall you, be after your knowledge, Of these present Nero(es). My country has her Nero(es), As Sabina and Messalina had theirs, My home sits unhealthy, Despite many riches, The fear of dreadful diseases and death, Has become the days' bane, That which is caused by the holy Neroes. The Neroes are the known 'Heroes', The expert looters and SAVIOURS, In the extreme. The real Nero of the Roman Origin, Planted his seeds -...
Over five decades now, Nigerians have been living in a great political dire, without actual changes, the level of poverty increases every day like the wild fire but no government has made their dreams become a reality for the large percentage of the citizens living in the country. There is no how far the snake long, we cannot set fire to it, equally to with its height – only idea is needed to kill the devil. The idea is ‘if money is spent, money will come;’ if citizens are given salary per month, government will also gain more money. How? With the total population of 138,283,240 as at 2008, the people, average Nigerian found it difficult to acquire three square meals per day. Relating to the national income, as at 2012, Nigeria GDP,Purchasing Power Parity, PPP, 3 rd largest within Africa (behind South Africa and Egypt); PPP trebled from $170billion in 2000 to $451 billion in 2012. That is the estimate of size of t...
Trail is missing, doubt is heightened Perforated thought intertwining cobwebs of hope Sightless sight enveloped coloured shade of radiant rainbow Fields are green, but fruits marry thorns in juvenile jungle Voice would be enough to call the sparrow remains a cloud. Blunt edges of the cross are sharpened on a crying cliff Tears drenched the clamour of weightless purchasing power We want to be the friend of light, but it’s an abyss in embryo We belched in monumental comfort regardless of looming waterloo Our groundnuts are harvested on a tree and oranges from the ground. Let the passing shadows cleanse the surface of the rising moon And let sojourners in the dungeon lean on freedom of sword We can match across the bridge of morrow with dauntless empathy Let the west wind resurrect soiled flag of great voiceless strength And let night closed its windows for morning to open the blazing door. Our racing horses are at the Aijalon valley dancing to echoe...
