Following my modest research, I have come to the conclusion that the main reason for the postponement of the February 2014 General Elections might as well be the grabbing and/or renewal of Nigerian Oil Block Licenses. These licenses are said to be due for renewal in 2016. If this information is correct, it is obvious that whoever emerges as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the coming Presidential Election will have a major say in which oil block licenses to revoke and the beneficiaries of new licenses since he will still be calling the shots in 2016! Goodluck Jonathan is holding sway right now while Muhammadu Buhari is his main challenger in the battle for Aso Rock (a.k.a. Oil Block Licenses).

NOTE: Owning just one oil block in Nigeria is no joke... at least, so they say!

Come to think of it, has the issuance of these licenses been lopsided in the past? Is there a just way to go about it, now that everyone-in-the-know wants a share of the real national cake? Can it be done without any tribe (or region) feeling short-changed? Yes, there appear to be more questions than answers!

With this scenario, will a free, fair, violence-free and credible Presidential Election take place in Nigeria before the 2016 date of the renewal/issuance of Oil Block licenses? However, good governance is what Nigerians are yearning for right now. Who is going to guarantee this, I ask?

I rest my case. God bless Nigeria.
