Just curious but positive change brings about or is a sign of progress. This trend of having either OBJ, GEJ, OR GMB or any other big wigs only showing ambition for ruling our nation does make things boring and makes our politics stale. Only persons who have ruled before have the ambition or nerve to rule again. Why cant we just have a change?

thats y its called ...politics....its a game that the known few can play......not everyone plays d game!!!!

The game is for the Mafia Junta... so who will bell the cat?

Sorry to say but most Nigerians are lazy when it comes to politics. Do you attend any ward meetings? Do you visit or write letters to your elected representatives? Do you follow up on the activities of your local government? I started out as an AD member and the attendance and quality of those who dedicate their time and resources to local politics still surprises me. But if they were not there, would you be there? Pointing fingers is pointless when we don't take any interest in our civic responsibilities. There is more to democracy than just voting in elections! Get involved.

@change2015, I think you have a point there. I have never been involved in politics in my ward partly because I have spent all of my lifetime living outside my home state. I recently got a bit drawn into thoughts of it when a close friend contested for reps in the last election. This must be the case for several other elite and well meaning people in our society who probably feel the game is too dirty for them. I must admit I feel that way too considering when I see the people who crowd the venues of political events. We need to change our attitude towards politics for real.

My brother, I understand what you say, but I still go to ward meetings in lagos, indigene or not. It is where I live. We have had an igbo councillor, and there are regulars from at least 4 other states some who have held positions as youth leader, women's leader etc. If you show constructive interest, you will accepted. Of course many times they may chose to speak the local language, something I consider archaic. Wherever you live take an interest, the quality of people who dedicate their time to politics must rise. How else can we get real structural change of the polity, if people think politics is beneath them.

The clueless imcompetent refuse to leave....why won't the 72years old general pick form?
