According to Mahatma Ghandi, "In matters of conscience, the law of majority has no place". And for me this is a matter of conscience and not swimming with the tides.
Partisan politics is a thing i greatly abhor, I am neither an Anti-Jonathan nor a Pro-Buhari; but I believe the truth must be told.
Perhaps there's freedom of speech; one is shielded by my many laws; once what one says or writes is not defamatory.....one of the provision is ARTICLE 19 of THE INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION ON CIVIL AND POLITICAL RIGHTS OF. 16th December 1996 which came into operation on 23rd March 1976...d subsection (ii) has it that "Everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression; this right shall include the freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art,or through another media of his choice".
Therefore I express my heartfelt grievances that:
I have found myself in a country where we generate our electricity ourselves(using generating set),healthcare? Same thing, Education? We pay a sky-rocketting amount to get it, you travel by road, you are not safe as a result of d deplorable state of d road, you see manhole, u fear God, travel by rail u'd use ages before u get to ur destination, our airspace is one of d most dreaded; Housing? You get to some waterside part of d country you'd glorify God u still av a safer place to rest at 9t.
Insecurity appears to be the order of d day bullet flying everywhere, houses turning to dust, people runing helter-skelter, displaced families, deserted towns and malnourished children.
"Mannapping" here and there, even kids are alittle bit safer to b kidnapped, older people are being held for ransome.
The security agents who are expected to be the law enforcers are the main law defaulters, respected institutions are broken; sanity has disappered into the thin air, our youths walk on the street virually uncladed, obscenity is pervasive.
Minor are being defiled by near-grave elders, youths have turn drug addicts, harrasment has got no home; it could be unleashed on anyone anywhere and anytime.
Should all these continue in this 2015? NO! We can change it for good, the elders in yorubaland would say "owo eni lafin tun iwa ara eni se".
If someone was given 6years and could not fix it, definitely giving him another four years is a sheer wickdness and directiolesness.
He might av tried in his capacities but the best is what we desire, we don't settle for mediocrity rather we celebrate excellence; I can never forget my devalued naira, will you ever forget the first day of the year yu were greeted with FUEL SUBSIDY? Imagine the number of businesses that must av gone crippled as a result of that; where are our over 200 girls? Are they dead or alive? Enslaved or sex-machined, malnourished? What about the over 50 students killed in their lodge? Where they not borne like were borne? And to our brothers nd sisters being maimed in the north are they not human? Have you forgotten so soon the numbers of time our Universities and polytechnics were shut?
Alas! Are you aware that Nigerians now pay a cut throat PHCN bills for poorer services? Are you aware that those companies were sold under the guise of government can't finance them enough? So why have we continued to pump money in selling companies without results? I thought those guys felt they had the money to invest. Security is a no go area. The fact that 10% of our land mass is under the control of some rag tag militias is unacceptable by any standard. Worse still is the fact that our soldiers are being court martialled for daring not to fight without proper ammunitions. Mind you, those soldiers have families like you and I.
Sadly enough, some people are still gunning for GEJ, I wonder if they live in the same Nigeria am living, let's do the count: ASUU (6 months), ASUP (9 months), COEASSU (12 months), NLC, TUC, PENGASSAN, Judiciary Staff & JOHESU (currently on strike), NMA, and so many others.On economy,the unwillingness of d FG to reduce d price of PMS despite d global fall in price of crude oil, our dwindling foreign reserve and excess crude account under GEJ is unprecedented and has taken a negative tow on our economy resulting in non-payment of govt workers salaries.
It's time for change, in my own world and opinion,I'm voting General Muhammadu Buhari; he may not be a saint but he is surely not a JONATHAN; let's make it all a FEBURUARY wit BUHARI....... SAI BUHARI d peoples GENERAL. I wish you all a Blissful and eventful year
