It is really unfortunate that Nigeria has not moved an inch from thé challenges and troubles Wole Soyinka portrayed in Thé Dance of thé Forest in 1960.Thé issues remain thé same and wé keep going round in circles as thé years roll by.
Ethnic postures and contemporary idéologies have continued to make things worse. Pardon me , but some of our intellectual discourses on various platforms, this inclusive , portray us as a people who have indeed 'fallen in love ' with our troubles ,pains,dilemma, woes among other misfortunes and a people who consistently pontificate upon , clarify, analyse, investigate and narrate thé maddening expériences that are really unjustifiable.
Save for a strong désire for peace in thé nation, there is nothing to look forward to in thé forth coming élections.Nigeria and Nigerians are yet to define leadership. From thé grassroots to thé top, (in political and non political structures) LEADERSHIP is often undefined, misunderstood and abused. People seek for power without any plan or préparation to add value to thé system- should they become empowered.Most of our great critics have no values and have not evolved a value system .
This is really thé bane of thé life of Nigerians and Nigeria.
Mr. Emetulu:--Are you implying that any sane Nigerian should vote for 4 more years of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan? Where have you been? Are you not aware of Boko Haram, Chibok Girls, Corruption, Crimes and Misdemeanors by government officials?I'm not an APC member, nor a Buharist, however, it is time for a change in Nigeria.From my unscientific sample of Nigerians, I observed that the Igbos insisted that GEJ is still the best for Nigeria. What is going on?It's imperative that Nigerians reject President GEJ during the next election on February 14, 2015.Funmi Tofowomo Okelola
