Celebration time.it is the season of merry
making.brothers and sisters,fathers and
mothers let’s jubilate.as my people in the
yorba would say e ja ka shaye,ka tun jaye.
In negation to marxist postulation of
class specification in virtually most issues
of life,the celebration should be for all of
our people.starting from the performing
big men and women in abuja who fly
with private jet like birds of the sky,to the
babas and mamas in our state houses
who don agbada, suits, babriga with
matching cap to the the rich men on our
estates:men and women who own
houses in victoria island,lekki,the big
houses in kano,abuja,enugu,porthacourt
and in every other states of the
country.then to the king of all; the
ordinary man on the street.let the
celebration begin to roll.it is the season
of jubilation.lets pop champaigne.lets pop
something.we can also take it local.eje ka
mu nkan.e je ka shaye.
This is the season of elections.posters are
here and there on our streets.the adverts
are on our screens and radio.politicians
are again telling us they can buid bridge
in the cloud.they re no telling us they can
turn the sand of our land to pure
gold.indeed this is the dispensation in
which political gladiators and lightweight
try to influence our choice of leadership
with their campaigns of capability to
govern and give us the dividends of
leadership.in this economic downturn
and security challenge in our
country,some have looked forward to
this time for long to see what the
politician who abandon his or her
constituency as soon as he or she got
their mandate would tell them about his
ability and prospective chances.some
have waited to see the outstanding
achievement of their ‘son’ as we call them
in this part of the country rolled out in
form of documentries on tv,radio and on
campaign grounds and other
medium.fortunately both are back to us
again.for us voters and performers in
government and people with great
pedigree and administrative sagacity to
go into governance,it is the season of
jubilation and blissful reunion.
As we celebrate and listen to what plans
they have for us, we should not also
forget that the ones who ran away after
getting our mandate the first time like
thieves after getting a piece of clothe off
the wire are back to us.they are on
television telling us they would be
roads.that they would represent us well
on the assembly.they are again swearing
to god that that they would give us
everything we demand.they ahve
money.their jingles are
everywhere.t.v,radio,newspaper,
billboards,social media and every where
including our walls.nowadays,they dress
like us.the agbada,suit and babariga are
gone.now they are on the street in shirt
and touser even nicker and buying things
we buy on the
street.plantain.groundnut.orange.maize.
yam.sugar.fish.akara.bread and other
things.
Likewise the other men who believe have
performed so well and those we belive
are good to make it as new office
seekers.they are now every where.they
are attacking one another from all
angles.religion,ethnicity,deleberate
chauvunism all in a bid to upstage one
another in their bid to get the golden
fleece of the next four years as our leader
at various levels.
In this season of the advent of election; a
tool of democracy to knock out the boxer
af any failed leader or give a leverage of
continuity to those politician who have
churn out sterling performances in
governance,we should not however be
away or offer urselves to be manipulated
by the antics of politicians who throw up
baseless,cunny and tricky premises to get
our support irrespective of their failure
or inability to govern.
It is these antics of politicians i would
examine in the next issue of this same
topic.by the grace of the maker,the giver
of knowledge,i would highlight and
break these tricks down and give citation
where necessary.
In the meantime stick with this blog and
help spread the gospel wherever you
go.bookmark the page.among your
friends,your foes,tell them about http://
tunerwords.
it is the blue fountain where words flows
like rains though the eye of the sky.till
next issue.peace out.

GEJ till 2019!!!

NOTE:this article was originally published on http://tunerwords. i saw it online and have decide to share it here

In the last issue i promised to highlitht
the tricks,and tools of manipulation of
the average nigerian politician especially
those widely used by mediocre ones who
have nothing to offer than noise
making,perpetual failure and ineptitude
in leadership.
I talked of the two categories who are
back to seek our mandate in this season
of election and celebration of
democracy.like the performer and
capable politician,the thief,lazy and failure
who ran away after getting our vote the
first time and who have nothing to offer
is also back from abuja,the varous state
houses and legislative chambers to the
street with us.they are now telling us
they are our ‘sons’.that they are our
‘daughters’.they are now eating
corn,banana,groundnut like the common
man on the street.they now wear shirt
and trousers like us.they blouse and
wrapper like ourslves.they are on the
radio and t.v reminding us they are
‘igbo’.they attack the performer and
capable hands on the pages of
newspaper and tell them ”my people will
vote for me because i am husa”.they now
sponsor internet warriors with our
stolen common wealth and instruct them
to cause ethnic division among people on
the social media on ethnic grounds for
selfish political gains.in retrospect in our
politity in recent years ethnic divison has
beign a tool in the hands of politicians to
cause hate and bitterness among people
for their own selfish and political gain.it
is every where.some extraction of the
igbo tribe would swore never to vote for
a candidate not because he or she is
competent but because he or she is from
another tribe or because he/she is
contesting under the platform of a party
that they believe have a larger number of
people from other ethnic group than
theirs as members.it is everywhere.some
yoruba would swore never to vote for an
‘igbo’ or ‘hausa’ likewise hausa would
swore never to vote for an igbo man
regardless wether he or she is
competent.it is everywher. but this idea of
voting on ethnic line must stop no doubt
historical and age long feud or rivalry
may exist between our ethnic groups,the
continuation of this dangerous and
failure template in choice of leadership
phenomenon of hate in this generation
especially among our youths,ethnic
warlors and opinion leaders portends a
great deal of danger to success not only
in our political life but also in our
personal life.it offers a an avenue of
manipulation to the failure who got our
mandates and ran away the first time to
tickle our ethnic fancy again and deceive
us for the second time or first time as the
case maybe to continue or start dishing
out ineptitude to us as dividens of
democracy and leadership.
What has begn a yoruba igbo ,hausa
niger delta itsekiri uhrobo efik or other
respectable tribes got to do with
performance.Governor sullivan chime of
enugu state was able to perform to a
considerable level not as a result of the
fact that he is igbo but because of that
nuance of leadership and ability in
him.governor theodore orji of aba is also
is igbo and one of the champion of
ethnic politics in recent years.but he
failed woefully.babatunde fashola of
lagos is a performer not because he is
yoruba but becuase he possessed what it
takes in leadership.we have had and still
several yoruba leaders who are failures
and disgrace to their people who gave
them their electoral
mandate.administrative ability is not a
question of where your from but a
question of what you have in you as
leadership skill and past records in your
field of speciality apart from politics.so as
ew celebrate and get ready as director
generals of the political destiny of our
leaders in the next four years,we should
dump the idea of choosing our
representatives in leadership position
based on the fact that they are from our
ethnic group or other ones we
love.leadership is about competence.we
should laugh at the thief and failure and
incompetent ones who may even go as
far as prostrating in front of our ethnic
leaders to gain sympathy and give him or
her the bitter pill of disappointment on
the day of election.
Also the season of religious show is
here.the thief failure who ran away and
the incompetent are all in the church and
mosques kneeling before pastors and
alfas and awearing shrines.we see them
on our screens and on the social media
say jesus has endorsed them.that
muhammad has finally support their
campiagn.they say we we should not
vote the competent men and women
because they are christians or
muslims.this phenomena unfortunately is
another appauling idealogy that has
characterize our polity in recent
years.now we look for christian/muslim
ticket,muslim/ticket and not competent/

protest against a prospective catholic/
catholic ticket by the anglican diocese.

The questions to ask this religious/
political warlords is if performance in
governance has to do with your religious
affiliation and if the effect of good or bad
governance differentiate between
muslims or christians.we have had
several muslim presidents in the past.has
their large numbers provided stable
elecricity in the houses of the
muslims.have they constructed to a
considerable amount the roads leading
to the houses of muslims.how good have
they being in delivering the dividends of
democracy to the muslims and the
populace in entirety.the answer is so
obvious.the current president is a
christian.has his beign a christian secure
the lives of nigerians even christians in
the north,has his beign carrying the
burden like jesus according to doyin
okupe stop the massive corruption in his
administration or reduce the number of
men and women acquiring private jet on
tax payers money.the same also goes for
past muslim leaders of our past.has the
christianity of theodore orji made aba
and abia state a pride of reference or did
the muslimity permit me to use that word
stopped babangida from annuling the
best and most credible election ever
conducted in nigeria.
My people as we celebrate and look
forward to this general election of
2015,lets be on our toes.political docility
should be gone from our dictionary.we
should watch out for the thief,failure
and incompetent ones.they would tell us
to vote for them because they are
yoruba igbo or hausa or naija delta or
other tribe.they will tell us to vote for
them because they are christian or
muslims or any other religion.they will
tell us to vote for them because they are
with us on the street and eat
corn,banana,akara,fried
fish,groundnut.they may even tell us to
vote for them because they are
black,yellow,pot belly,slim or whatever
irrelevant reason.that is the thief,failure
and incompetent.it is in their blood.but
we would do well to clear our eyes and
use our votes to land a master punch on
their faces so they can end up falling on
the grounds of defeat and eat our sand
they litter with their refue of failure and
incompetence
