So,I get to choose amongst IBB,GEJ and atiku(my guy,try and get your three lettered initials ready,Nigerians wont vote for you till you have one) for president.Yummy!!!!It's like being told that 'You know what!For lunch today you get to pick from our wide assortment of garri dishes;garri with sugar,garri with salt and uh uh uh..the world famous and tongue gratifying garri and groundnut'.Nigerians are being offered a buffet of things we would rather not eat.
Not one of them represents a new beginning for this country and neither do they bring a blueprint to the table,The two malu men represent all that is bad in the past of Nigeria while my fisherman brother represents the emptiness and lack of zeal in the new Nigeria.
We live in a country where the youth have been denied the eye opening qualities of education;young Yoruba boys have resorted to being bus conductors,the Ibo's have shunned the classroom for the markets while the Hausa's,(i really have to praise them,they seem to have been the busiest of the lot)have all turned to murderers,religious zealots,daylight killers and also okada riders.Education makes a man rational,illiteracy breeds a brute!
If the votes were cast tomorrow,my vote would be for Ebele for the simple reason that in a country where common sense were inherently common,International Bad Boy(IBB) SHOULD BE SPENDING THE LAST TEN YEARS OF A 30 YEAR PRISON SENTENCE and the university owner from adamawa should now be buying provisions(don't forget dettol oh,heard the water in prison ain't that jolly) to join him there.
Anyways,i watched the formal declaration of Uncle Jo on telly the other day and it was damn near hilarious.Watching all the Governors coming out to show their support in their well starched agbadas and their round overfed faces.When Jo came up on the podium to join them,the picture was complete;AliBaba and the 36 thieves.
P.s:A vote for Jonathan is a moral revolution but not a vote for national development!
