The problem of Nigeria since independence till date has been regarded as poor leadership.

Where did Nigeria got it wrong?

Conflict theory said "underdevelopment in Nigeria existed, because of the nation association with the colonial master that dictated the pattern of her social political and social economy life.

" The people of Nigeria cannot forget in a hurry the outcomes of the aforementioned above that led to the civil war, and also created the gaps for serious errors chains of leadership in Nigeria resulting to various forms of military interventions.

What is error chains? Error chains means a breakdown in a system or breakdown of safeguards in a team, or by a member of a team with serious consequences.

1999, saw civilians rule returned to Nigeria, people dance, prayed, remonstrated that the darkest era in her history as a nation was indeed over.

The new PDP government promised hope; hope; hope; hope and still more hopes. Our people waited forthe realisation of hopes and believing the fact that hopes never fails.

The government of obasanjo took off with restructuring of the armed forces in the country and promise of sweeping economy reforms. The outcomes of the first4 years of PDP are:

1. An appetite for more power
2. Divide and rule principles on the alter of ethnicity and religion beliefs.
3. Massive corruption
4. Lack of internal democracy
5. Lack of freeand fair elections.

Election after elections came and gone, PDP held on to power using the same tactics. They teared opposition apart by refusing to make a level playing ground to all parties.

The same period saw PDP on spending spree that benefited some political interest, while leaving the rest ofthe masses in squalor.

The political divide continued and language were used to verge anger, word such as "marginalisation" took over the regional space, and PDP switched their jingo from hope to "dividends of democracy." The same period saw the price of oil on the increase and the amount of petrol dollars in the nation encouraged corruption and kill competition.

The government lack the political will to diversify the economy in the non oil sectors.

PDP rule came to climax, when the Niger Delta militants first struck, and Yaradua was able to manoeuvre with the use of "amnesty" before his demise on the throne, and this paved the way for the emergence of King Jonathan as the president. He was a man without shoes, he promise to see the nation to the promise land, the whole nation rallied around him from the north, east, west and south.

The man who has no shoes won in an election that most people believed was far from free and fair. PDP era continued with spending spree and financial recklessness. The learning curve of poor leadership and experimental democracy continues both in the executive arm and parliament.

Corruption was at the highest level of government and even celebrated.
GEJ became the biggest political error in Nigeria political history, he blow away every opportunity to write his name in gold, he blow away over 21 billion dollars in excess crude oil account in 8 months.

The leadership errors became a chains under his watch, boko haram emerged and waxed stronger, killing the masses from state to state, and the president even said boko haram are in his government. GEJ appeared like a drowning president ruling a drowning nation and yet want to hold on to power until the nation disappears. Under his watch:

1. opposition was branded terrorist without evidence, and no action had been taken by his government to prosecute them, despite an open invitation by the opposition for full investigations.
2. Obasanjo risk his life to meet with leaders of boko haram, so that the issue can be resolved and GEJ was caught up in denial and blame games that everything was under control.
3. The president said people where making the nation ungovernable for him, and yet he was commander in chief.
4. He became president of Ijaw nation only, instead of president of the federal republic of Nigeria.
5. He turned church programs into political campaigns for his second term bid.
6. He advised his followers to do the same in the mosque for his second term bid.
7. Kangaroo cases was sponsored and verdict where given by political judges to clear the way for his second term bids.

Is he the kind president Nigerians really needs? Some people said yes and others said no.

Most of those saying yes, base their argument on religious and ethnic grounds. A social commentator wrote " if you believed GEJ has rule Nigeria well so far, type amen. if you want God to rule your life in the same way GEJ is ruling Nigeria." Nobody was bold enough to say amen.

The people knew the PDP party is a bad brand and yet afraid of change. Are the masses guilty of the offence of PDP? The numerous sins of PDP are as follows.

1. Spent billions of dollars on electricity and nothing to show for it.
2. Stealing is not corruption, so what is corruption?
3. Failure to diversify the nation economy.
4. Corruption at every level of government.
5. Failure to build infrastructure
6. Missing chibok girls.
7. Misappropriation of annual budget
8. Failure to guarantee the security and safety of ordinary Nigerians.
9. Failure to defeat boko haram.
10. Failure to fight unemployment
11. Failure to fight poverty.
12 the missing 22 billion dollars.

While some of the sins listed above are impeachable in other civilised parliamentary democracy around the world, the Nigeria PDP parliament are deeply engross in the same sins, leaving the masses with only one option to VOTE FOR CHANGE COME 2015.
The nation must not allow this political error chain to continue to ruin the future of Nigeria.

The opposition party may not be the perfect change for the nation. Let the people utilised the power of change now and reserve this power for future changes. PDP came to existence in 1999 and the people didn't made an everlasting covenant with them.

No president and no party can claim to have monopoly of power. We as individuals will die and Nigeria will out lived us, let us seat down and reflect the future of the next generations and what their fate will become.
