True G.O.O.D: May 29

I was contemplating on writing this post after the governorship election but I could not exercise the patience.  Millions of people including myself were nervous, anxious and eager for the presidential elections.  The day came and people went for accreditation and subsequently voted.  I lost count how many times I goggled “Nigeria elections” on Saturday.  I was hyped to see the how the voters were going to decide.  That is the beauty of democracy and politics.  The biggest contenders were known and likewise the cheerleaders.  A certain candidate went to the Polling station with his wife and 3 other members of his family. The result for the Ward where he cast his vote returned only 1 vote for him. Better luck next time sir and file for a divorce sir.

The PDP would add another 4 years to the 12 year rule. Do you remember their 40 year rule prophesy? How did GEJ become the right man for the job within a year? Didn’t the people hear about him ignoring public debates with other candidates?  How about the obviously scripted interview with D’banj?  These questions I might not get answers to. The biggest news now is that we have a president-elect. Presidents across the globe are sending in their congratulatory letters.  In 2008, Obama preached change. He brought a new hope but 2 and a half years down the road many are disappointed and disgruntled.  In 2015, God willing we shall all be here to grade Lucky Jor.   Despite the hate for PDP, their candidate won.  Maybe our politics is moving away from party politics to the individuals.  Ribadu’s blueprint for change didn’t seem to have convinced too many people and the saying  “twice bitten, quite for life” didn’t register with Gen Buhari.  He is truly the cat with a million lives.  Congratulation Mr. President. 

Goodluck Jonathan

The election is over now. Everything being equal, Goodluck Jonathan would lead till 2015.   Nigerians have highlighted tactical issues that needs to be solved; Electricity, Unemployment and Public corruption.  I should also add the Niger Delta.  I also use this medium to speak against the post election crisis.  Accept the results or go to courts. Violence is never a solution.  God bless our Country.

On a different note,Governorship election is this weekend. Vote wisely!
