The Presidential and NASS elections may have come and gone, but wasn't without its drama and unfoldings. Below are some of the impression the just concluded presidential election has left on us:

(1). President Goodluck Jonathan was only a ceremonial head.

Yes, you saw that right. Nigeria is no Britain, but you would be forgiven for thinking such. Or how else does one explain that a good, kind-hearted person runs a bad, corrupt government?... Split personality? The president's sportsman-like showing yesterday has left many chanting him as man of the year. The statesmanship act shown by GEJ has left Nigerians and foreigners alike in awe of the person of Jonathan--a remarkable person surrounded by sycophants. FFK, Okupe, Abati, Diezani, along with Patience Jonathan among others, ran the show, while Mr Ebele was more like the chauffeur following directions. Yesterday was evidence enough that mr president was manipulated and made to make decisions he wouldn't have of his own volition. Whatever their reasons were, they did bring a good man down along.

(2). Nigerians are beginning to rise above religiosity and pettiness.

Some may have voted along religious or tribal lines, but a majority of Nigerians' votes were devoid of religious or ethnic bias. The Arab world marched and killed in order to achieve revolution; Nigerians did so by means of the ballot. To the majority, Saturday and Sunday's votes for the general were not of people who merely wanted a change in government, rather, they were marks of the strength of a people who have risen to take the bull by the horn and demonstrate that political power truly resides with the electorate. Nigerians have stood to make their votes count. A Christian in opposition party won the senate against a sitting Muslim governor in a Muslim dominated Niger senate... Speaks volume of people whose outlook to things are changing. On top pf that, add other sitting governors and big shots who lost in this election, then you will get the picture.

(3). It takes just one moment to destroy what took a lifetime to build.
Or should I have just termed the whole phrase "Orubebe"? One moment of insanity and 30 minutes of madness has hung the man's fate in the balance, irrelevance trails him like they had a deal. Orubebe lost his way and lost it. He might have later apologized, but that's like medicine after death. So watch your tongue while you are in control.

(4). Nigerians have turned the tides by their own hands.
Nigeria's stock is rising. Barely 48 hours after the elections, news has it that the Nigerian Stock Exchange had increased by more than 170 billion naira. Who would have thought! Nigeria and Nigerians are being poured encomiums from all around the globe. Funny how just one day changes things. What once looked like grey sky is turning into white cloud for Nigeria. This was because Nigerians changed the course of events by just those votes. More so, we shamed the world by voting peacefully at a time when the world expected things to have turned out the exact opposite. 2015 was termed "make or mar" for us as a nation, Nigerians MADE it. Here is thanking President Goodluck Jonathan for making that speech that has changed the course of things.

(5). Failure has no friends.
Ok, he did not fail in truth, because for me, he is the hero for just that one act. Asari Dokubo's "I'm a friend of anyone in power" tweet confirms the fact that people will always only stick around when the going is good. When it gets bad, its then that they remember that before you, they were.

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria!

All thanks to gej the hero of our time who in all honesty and humilty chose not to rig the election as it was been done by OBJ and tinubu so that nigeria will not divide. Yet the gworo chewing master and their perpetual slaves still voted him out.
