Well like I thought, in Nigeria democracy, elections and voting has been severely wounded! Time of recovery is really unknown. There is much to learn from the presidential elections that just passed. The will of the common man in Nigeria is of no consequence to those individuals who cling to power and bend doubly backwards to hold on to it. Violence, fraud, malpractice, lies and deception are commonplace here. Where is the way forward?
Though in Africa and Nigeria in particular respect for elders and folks of greater age is stressed, most unbelievable atrocities are committed by the older folks. What kind of example is been set for the future of tomorrow? Do these men and women even give a darn about tomorrow? As we move ahead in light of this grossly mismanaged "charade" called the April 21st presidential elections, Nigerians are in again for another four years of mismanged national revenue and manpower; the will of the people to survive has been dented yet again. I'm afraid this time almost to a fatal point !
The irony on April 21st was that France had also gone through the same electoral process of choosing a leader.
There is a difference between a people that know what it takes to survive and those that have no clue what survival means ! Can you tell whose whom here ?
I guess you can !
