MY RANDOM THOUGHTS on Nigeria's brand of politics
My Random Thoughts : For how long will this go on? Nigeria's brand of
politics is the most expensive in the World! Someone should say I'm
wrong abeg! Almost everyone is involved one way or another. Before one
becomes or get elected you go through hell and back expenses wise so any
surprise why politicians loot? Nawa woooo I thought politics is about
development? How wrong I have been. It's mind boggling this huge money
spent as vehicles of ensuring elected or reelected? All the
ward heads,community heads,family heads etc now expects huge amount to
be dropped before they in turn instructs or directs those under their
influences to vote is so dangerous for our democracy. People don't care
nor give a damn to what credentials you parade but much money you have
to give? In a poor state such as Taraba how and when do we catch up with
others in terms of development when an armed robber can get elected
simply because we are poor? This must stop. It can't go on like this. No
way this whole thing about our democracy needs rebranding. With our low
level development and high rate of illiteracy The Presidential System
of governance won't survive. Even if crude oil prices were $200 per
barrel!
