The Decision - NIGERIA

What up people?

Been a loooooooooong time fam. I can’t remember the last time I actually blogged come to think of it. I missed throwing my darts & conversing with the people but I just ain’t really feeling social media these days. Too much WACK S**t & far too many Attention Seeking WHORES (Men Included) for me.  So really the motive to write today simply came down to nothing but the power in knowing I can write, publish and say how I feel UNFILTERED on my own platform. Now that is control and decision-making power we all have everyday but routinely fail to exercise. So since I don’t know when my next verbal thesis will be stated on the blogspot I want to make this one worth your time.

Let me get focused…...................

Today it was announced that former President General Muhammadu Buhari (GMB) running under the APC political party will resume his post after defeating incumbent President Jonanthan Goodluck aka…the man with the RUN DMC hat.  Like many Nigerians I believe I have been following the election outcome since Saturday morning. That is my first RED Flag right there. So in a country in which the average Nigerian can barely make say $5 a day but everybody and their momma got 3 smartphones we still are counting votes on paper? WTF!!!! I mean yes this one na serious Na Wa O! Another troubling concern is all these people talking about the power of the vote, democracy, change has come; do you know that in a country of nearly 180 million people it took less than 30 million votes in total to determine who our next President will be? Omo Kaaaaaaaaai this one too no be small Na Wa O! And of the 25 plus million voters how many of you did cast your votes solely on the promise of a sack of rice & goat to feed your belly? (I am not making this up). SMH

So I will close out my rant today on one the out-going president and two on my commentary on the in coming newly elected.  I was not in Nigeria over weekend so therefore obviously I did not have a vote. However; I do recall it was only 5 years ago or so that all of Nigeria hailed “Mr. RUN DMC” as the Messiah abi? The Nigerian Obama! Sey una forget? The one that will “FREE” us from our Military past & disconnected leadership. These were all the sentiments put out there when it was rumored that IBB was considering the idea of running for the highest office in our country.  But now only to fast forward 5 years later and all the characteristics and traits in a leader we so vigorously shunned “WE” the majority is now saying is what our country needs in order to regain solid footing and slowing down Boko Haram. How FICKLE many of you out there are.  You stand for NUFFIN.

I want to wish Mr. Buhari the Best of Luck in his term as our president and leader. His job will be daunting and very difficult in the days, weeks, months and years ahead. I wish for him good health as we have already succumb to the experience of losing a president in the past to bad health and being left to be lead by a village idiot with his RUN DMC hat. The themes and messaging of GMB’s campaign easily resonated with commoners such as myself as well as other Nigerians but gone for me are the days for euphoria over change. Change is a constant in life good or bad so I do not see this as life changing like so many others. If you really want to see leadership and learn about Nigeria’s greats who have been internationally respected and revered by heads of states all over the world just go on youtube and watch documentaries on men such as Alhaji Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa official visit to USA 1961. If these types of past Nigerian leaders don’t give you chills and pride in our country then you do not know the standard we should be upholding in our highest office.  One quick question before I exit, how many of you that even voted knew the policies of GMB before electing him as the next President of Nigeria? If you do or do not I recommend you educate yourself as the expectations should be that we hold him to his promise and vision for a better Nigeria.

UP NAIJA & UP NIGRIA
