Wow! Finally the much awaited Decision Day in Nigeria is here. Many people thought this day will never come.
There were accusation and counter accusations that the ruling party and president is planning an Interim Government. Most pessimist said the president will use the Military to ask for more weeks to totally wipe out Boko Haram, coz he's afraid of the elections.
Some other group were of the view that the President will remove the electoral body's helmsman(Prof. Atahiru Jega). Which would have attracted wide condemnation and probably violence.But the goodnews here is that all that has been buried now, coz the much awaited Election Day in Nigeria is here.
This is a key indicator that Nigeria's democracy is here to stay. And I will therefore hail the courage of Mr President for putting together all machinerys in place to make this day a reality.
I hereby advice all Nigerians to go out today and vote, conduct themselves in peaceful manner and shun all acts of violence. Do not allow yourself to be used as an instrument of destruction or violence. WARNING!
The period of Campaigning has official ended, therefore you are not expected to:
1. Form any political gathering around any polling booth.
2. Chant party Slogan any where around any polling booth
3. Wear party T.shirt or anything similar to voting center, to avoid embarrassment or provocation
4. Move out with your party customized/painted vehicle.
5. Canvas for votes around the polling center.
March 28 General Elections In Nigeria is for Presidential and National Assembly seats.I pledge Peace and Equally employ you to do same.Peace! Peace!! Peace!!! All Over Nigeria.
United we Stand Forever!.Nigeria! Good People, Great Nation.
JUST MY OWN VIEW.
It will be on your own interest if you take the following advice seriously. Your Vote or Your Life, which is more important to you?
1. It's better to cast your vote and head straight home.
WHY?.
A. The polity is very hot
B. You can't even defend your vote unarmed.
C. Political parties and Politicians have armed their thugs with sophisticated weapons...if anything goes wrong, u may loose your life on the process.
D. ECOWAS, AU, EU, UN election observers, local and foreign journalist are also going to be on ground to monitor the elections. Even political party agents are also going to monitor the exercise, so what else will you be doing there?.
E. 2 Police officers on a polling boot can not withstand the pressure of 300 to 500 people. And if the game gets dirty in a polling center, I bet you the police men will disappear with their gun and you will be left on your own to defend either ur vote, life or u loose both.
2. Never you attempt dying for any political party, coz they are all one big family. Just that once the whistle goes on it looks as if they are at war, certainly not, coz after the elections most of the politicians will still JUMP OVER to the other party for appointments and contracts(don't be a fool).
3. If any politician gives you money and arms to go kill anyone. collect the money and arms/ammunition, keep the money for yourself (it's national cake) but hand the arms over to the Army(coz I trust them more than the Black Uniform Force).
Vote and live to enjoy the good of the land. A dead you can't see the Nigeria of your dreams.
Be Wise, Be Careful, coz I Love you all so much and I don wanna miss or weep over any of you.
SUCCESS TO NIGERIA.
The Friends, Family, Sympathizers, Sponsors and Supporters of the BoKo Haram terrorist group, sees no gains in the 6weeks election postponement to recapture and restore Peace in the fallen cities in the North East
Even a blind man in the North knows that the Nigerian Military has done a great job in last 5 weeks. Almost all the territories held by Boko Haram has been re-captured by the gallant Nigerian troops.
So why should any sane person say that it was all about the president and plans to frustrate and further intimidate the opposition?. Why are you so interested on holding elections when some part of the country has been taken over by terrorist?.
The military has been waiting for modern sophisticated military hardware to arrive Nigeria for a very long time. They needed it to take the battle to the Boko Haram, they needed it to protect the Sovereignty of Nigeria and just when they took the delivery of a good number of It, was about time for the elections.
The military ask for just 6Weeks to flush out the terrorist Boko Haram, many opposition figure said it was impossible... No wonder they are yet to come in terms with the reality on ground. The military has given a good account of themselves and I say Kudos to the Gallant troops of Nigeria.
The opposition media houses are giving credit to Camerounian, Chad and Niger forces...what a biased reportage? Why deform the people if you can't Inform and educate them? Are Sahara Reporters and their likes actually partners in Terrorism with Boko Haram?.
I will allow you to judge by the reality on ground now...If you think the 6Weeks Election Extension has not been worth the sacrifice and pains
"Colo mentality" by Fella. Colonian Mentality is simply the biggest problem facing Nigeria as Nation. It is also the major cause of the depreciation/weakness of Naira to the dollar KOLO/COLO MENTALITY is:
1. when we reject locally produced goods and opt for foreign ones.
2. When we contract foreigners to do the job that can be done by Nigerians.
3. When our politicians run to US and UK to speak on issues of national interest.
4. When our politicians travel to US and UK to campaign for election that will be held here in Nigeria.
5. When they continue to tell us that our health sector is getting better, while they continue to run abroad to treat malaria?
Ask yourself this simple questions.
Has any Ghanian politician (lets not talk about South Africans, US, Uk... )been here in recent time to campaign or criticize/condemn their government?.Are we indirectly going back to the colonial masters to enforce another colonial regime on Us??
When will this KOLO MENTALITY be over???.
Nigerian Youth Awake! Stop being fooled
How on earth do you think Rt. General Muhammadu Buhari will say or even imagine this?.
These image are really contradictory, but i will allow you make of it whatsoever your mind tells you. I think both are good comic relief.
I saw this on Linda's blog and decided to ask if this is actually the Truth?
Has APC indeed conceded Defeat or could this be another political propaganda...??? This is said to be a Press statement from Ekiti governor, Ayodele Fayose.
"The Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayo Fayose, has said the ego of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been deflated as it has tactically conceded defeat few days to theMarch 28presidential election.
The governor, who spoke through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi, in Ado-Ekition Thursday, said that the sudden u-turn made by the North which had realised that General Buhari would be made to shortchange the North had rattled the party.
Fayose also disclosed that the issue of health of the former general had become worrisome to the Northern caucus which did not want to forget in hurry the Umaru Musa Yar' Adua saga.
According to the governor, the APC was forced to cancel presidential rallies in Kaduna and Enugu because Buhari was not yet physically and mentally fit to go for any rally." This is like a kind of confirmation to what the governor has been saying in the past few months, about the health condition of the retired General
According to the report "The governor said that while Buhari was still recuperating in a London hospital, he had to come back home due to pressure mounted on him by certain leaders of his party who wanted to calm the growing apprehension by Nigerians over Buhari's state of health.
Ayodele Fayose also noted that former Vice President Atiku
Abubakar and his supporters were already retracing their steps back to the PDP and that the North had seen the deceit in APC South-West leaders in pushing forward Buhari, even against the man's interest.
"We thank the APC for conceding defeat in the coming elections. At least, they, for the first time, appear realistic. General Buhari's insistence that he must be allowed to attend to his health is commendable." Attend to his health? Is the general really sick? Is there something about Buhari that the APC are not telling Nigerians? Your guess is as good as mine.
The report continues... "It is glaring that he needs to rest and not waste energy on a failed project. (failed project?)The man has been abandoned (abandoned?)by those who claim to be his backers and Buhari's people have told him the bitter truth. That they would prefer to wait for another four years (wait for What? Are you kidding me) than to get trapped by some selfish South-West leaders for eight years.
"The preoccupation of the APC now is how to retain the APC- controlled states and prevent the PDP from capturing them.
"The tactical withdrawal of people like Atiku, Kwakwanso and the battle for survival by Tinubu and Amaechi in Lagos and Rivers have woken up General Buhari to the politics of deceit that some are luring him to.
"While PDP leaders are confidently traversing the country meeting Nigerians and getting their support, APC leaders are held up in their hideouts. Who among them is canvassing support for Buhari now? Tinubu, for instance, is only pre-occupied with his aim of maintaining his stranglehold on Lagos' resources by putting another stooge in the Government House, Ikeja, but this time around, he has failed woefully.
"Kudos to patriotic Nigerians and Northern leaders who have seen the deceit called APC and refused the bait flaunt at them. APC is a dead horse, no amount of flogging can wake it up," he concluded. Am sure that the APC will issue a press statement pretty soon to backup or to dismiss this submission but until then let's keep believing that this is the Truth. 
In Democracy, almost everything goes, they call it Freedom Of Expression/Speech. What will make a sensible adult, called elder statesman descend so low to dancing to the tune of opposition just to remain relevant?.Only a fool will take Obasanjo's claims and accusations as a fight for Nigeria or fight to defend Nigeria's democracy. For God's sake what does this old man want from this great nation? Why has he decided to make Nigeria his private business where he issue all forms of orders and it must be carried out?. The last time I checked, Obasanjo wasn't the only past head of State alive, and he wasn't also the only elder statesman in Nigeria. So when did he became the mouth piece of the God of the land? When did Obasanjo became the all knowing and all seeing god?Who ordained him the High Priest of the land? Who anointed Obasanjo and declared him "wiser than King Solomon"?
When will this battle to remain relevant at all times and Cost end? What happens When the "Watcher becomes the Watched"? Or does he think all his Sins are Forgiven, what about the Prophecies of Tunde Bakare("Obasanjo will go back to Jail")?10 Reasons Why I hate Democracy
1. Democracy is very Expensive to maintain.
2. Democracy is too slow in getting things done(due process and waiting for approval).
3. Democracy is so wasteful (it encourages legitimate ways of wasting resources. Stealing)
4. Democracy makes the rich and the connected richer and the poor poorer (it widens the gap between the poor and the rich, especially in africa)
5. Democracy encourages thuggery and social unrest (the military will put an end to any nonsense without anyones approval)
6. Only under democratic setting will the military be insulted by a bloody civilian without severe punishment.
7. Only under democratic rule will you stone the commander In Chief of the Armed Forces without paying the ultimate penalty(Death)
8. Only under a democratic rule will you call a press conference or grant an interview live on a national television, speak ill against the Government or the head of State and walk out without being hurt, arrested or even losing your life on the process.9. Only under a democratic government will any individual threaten the State and the head of State publicly and still walk freely on the streets with his supporters.
10. Democracy has no room for one powerful leader who can take decisions as at when it is required without the fear of any law or whatsoever. Even the president of America is not powerful, coz he cannot take decisions on his own, the Congress has to approve of all his Policies and Programs.
The president of Nigeria asked his friends on Facebook to say a prayer for Nigeria. The opposition hijacked the post and made it a channel for criticism and Insult on the person of the president.Here is what he wrote,
"My dear friends on Facebook, I want to remind us all that we have no other country other than Nigeria and as we approach the election, it is wise that we speak good and peaceable words over Nigeria because we will have to eat our words, so let us make them sweet rather than bitter. We must see the coming polls as a contest amongst brothers and sisters from the womb of one Nigeria. We must avoid threats and desperation as we make our case to the electorate. Head or tale, Nigeria wins. Therefore, I urge all Nigerians to join me in saying it is well with Nigeria and by the special grace of God, it shall continue to be well with our great country Nigeria. GEJ."
Now I ask, 1. If you truly love and care about this Nation called Nigeria, you should at least say a prayer to Nigeria first before your criticism. I have come to realize that many who claim to care about this Nation are only fighting for their own personal interest, having no interest of Nigeria at heart. 2. If you are wise, are you not suppose to say "Amen" when someone (even if it's your Enemy) is praying for you in the LANGUAGE you understood? 3. If you claim to hate a man so much, what are you doing on his page? 3. Why have you decided to Vote and hand over power to opposition before the constitutionally approved date, don't you think that amounts to Treason? 4. The same people who are criticizing Mr President today for INEC's postponement of the election would have done worse if the election where to be held on the earlier scheduled date, and it favours the President. They would have alleged Jonathan impeded the distribution process of PVC to APC states (Lagos and Ogun) to favour himself. 5. Have you once asked the question, "why are we waiting for the military to secure election materials, venue and INEC personnel?. Who told you the military are the body constitutionally empowered to provide security for elections(that is the duty of the police my freind!)?. 6. What do we even expect of the military? They have been accused of not contributing enough foot soldiers to the multi lateral joint forces against Boko Haram, and that's why the neighboring countries had failed to commit their forces to fight with Nigerian soldiers. Now that we have all our neighbors supporting US to fight our common cause, you want the military to falter again(send soldiers to guard electoral materials and INEC personnel and abandon their primary duty, which is to protect Nigeria's territorial sovereignty)?. 7 point of correction! Some said elections has not been shifted before. In 2011, Professor Atahiru Jega shifted the Presidential and National Assembly elections by one week, and that election was proven by many observers to be the best in the history of Nigeria, so what's the big deal now?. 8. Will any election which is not conducted in all local governments in Nigeria be considered conclusive, will a winner emerge from such an election? What gave most people (opposition) the impression that Jonathan is trying to hold on to power, and not trying to give Nigerians the best election ever?. Think about all these, say a prayer for Nigeria Now and learn to be objective and constructive in your criticism, let's build our country NOT to destroy it with our negative utterances. The good/bad news is this, only those who believe in the true Peace and Prosperity of Nigeria will be able to eat of the good of the land. Many will see it with their eyes, but will not be part of it. God Bless NigeriaNIGERIA WILL FLOURISH AGAIN AND AGAIN
