NOW COME CHANGE IN NIGERIA – GOOD OR BAD

We heard the violent riots that ensued yesterday in major parts of northern Nigeria, it was a sober news and demand urgent attention from the Federal government, so that similar events will not brew in the later days to come. Allegation from all quarters pointed to Buhari as the chief cause of this riots and rascality from those misdirected youths who perpetuated those dastardly act of internal terrorism and mayhem. He himself said it, that if he loses he's going to support the new administration, and won't go to court.

Again as regard the outcome of the election before it was even won or lost, he said CPC can go to court. In the light of this mayhem he did everything in his power to collaborate with the government by also doing his part to quell the crisis. So for that reason, the action of yesterday was uncalled for, but remember that everybody always read between lines; and are sensitive to many issues. My problem is that Nigerians forget too soon so much, and its regrettable that we have contracted collective amnesia, making us an aberrations to ourselves. But this must have to stop now!

If only we can remember vividly our actions and inaction over time; we will see the North has been scammed. I am of the Opinion that the Ex-Military men should rule no more; but if this country must go forward, it is time to demarcate fables, fabrications and lies, and perhaps be sensitive to truth and justice. Didn’t we say we need Justice and equity? Yesterday or issues arising prior to yesterday, people have been taking it down into themselves.

From yesterday's barbaric acts, it appears and is glaring that we are in a cross-road. We are aware that for many years now satanic men posing as Military Generals , Nationalist, Religious demagogues, ethnic Chauvinists and their ilks have held us to hostage in this country, and it must not continue to be so. Somehow, Buhari has taken to his faith, but some evil men are not happy that Freedom is back, this is where I really want you to know that my nerves is surely calm. I hope that this administration will form a new government.

Are you Happy that we have exiles scattered all over the world, and yet can't come back home? The exiled wants to come back home. Surely happiness is returning to Nigeria, and we must embrace it. The winner and President must call all the losing parties together immediately and sue for reconciliation, incorporate them into the new government and let us forge ahead. The great day is almost here, and we must embrace it if we want Nigeria to move forward; I am indeed happy that the great day is almost upon us.

We must all be ready, I am not trusting anybody with anything this time around; these old quacks have fooled us for so long, and we can't take it no more. The ilk of OBJs, Ciromas, IBBs and their cohort should immediately join the new government and/or leave our natural space if they want to add more days to their years.

My statement may sound naive, but it is the truth of the matter. Now that Professor Jega has announced the result in favour of Mr. President Goodluck Jonathan, this election  must not be annulled as they did in June 12 1992, this is still fresh in our memory!

Anyone who is not comfortable with the way the election was conducted should head for the law court. There has been a lot of nonsense over time, and we must not continue in this manner, else we fail ourselves and make our votes irrespective of who it was given to irrelevant.

Nigerians must decide henceforth what should happen to them, and their collective WILL must be expressed hitherto the way the new Nigeria is to be structured. The era of Polyarchy should be a thing of the past, and returning should therefore be resisted by all and sundry; it should not be business as usual.

We want our gifted men abroad to come back home and help design a new Nigeria of our dreams, they should come and transform this country into a thing of envy where the Hausa/Fulani, the Ibos, the Yorubas, and all ethnic groups will truly say this is true "Federalism", this is my roll call.

I once believed that Buhari will make this happen, now that he is out of the equation; in no matter of time, we should rally support around the President elect; or if some feel to call it "Select", and chart a new course in the progressive altitude of Nigeria's destiny and endeavour to put her proper place in the comity of Nations.

No one man, or group of men have the right to hold this country in bondage for so long. Enough is enough, we cannot allow our nation to be taken for a ride any longer or be hijacked by criminals and political butchers who know nothing other than bombing innocent souls.

President GEAJ must scan through the plate-log of Nigeria, and pull out as soon as possible the best men on the job; not by recommendation as it has been known before; but the best men on merit, intelligence and scholarship to do the job of reconstructing Nigeria to suite our dreams. The status quo must change from now on.

Everyone in Nigeria needs a decent life, and no man or group of men have the right to take this away from us. Since we are already at the cross-road, the maze is almost turned; and should continue to tilt in favour of the people.

The checkmate shouldn’t pervade its original point of boxes; the pawn must be there; and the King and Queen must remain alive. The knights, which are the gifted while working should demonstrate their zeal to move this country forward and return her to her proper footing.

In the coming years, the non-violent revolution has peg its tent in the heart of Nigeria and Nigerians, our conscience must weed out the thorns in our hearts, and the filthy poverty, marginalised and corruption ridden attitudes of an average Nigerian. This must change henceforth, it is my hope.

I do not think Nigerians, especially the youths can be intimidated any longer, and it was this election I discovered that the Nigerian Youths actually had their own freewill whether known to them or unknown.

Irrespective of the brigade of military dons that has rule this country over time; unfortunately Buhari has been scolded for his inactions while as President; and with what he knew, the better part of the demons are still fallible and won't allow him. Yet the past as we know it must be allowed to die with those who created the ambiguity.

Nonetheless, Nigerians deserve to be heard. My opinion in this is, General Buhari should obey the rule of law, which he has promised to do, and let's proceed towards the proper development of Nigeria. If there is any interception, we shall then hold those who made such promises accountable for their lies and deceit.

For Now, let’s go to the next chapter!

God Bless Nigeria!!!
