From Presidential to Gubernatorial Elections: The Political Divide. by Haryohdeji1: 6:33pm On Apr 07, 2015
Nigeria "a great nation bound in FREEDOM, PEACE and UNITY" or so our national anthem says. But are we really leaving as one nation?
2015 election might appear peaceful but the divide it is causing among the people is not good for the future of our beloved country.
The headlines of d presidential elections was about APC and Buhari trying to Islamize Nigeria. If u ask a christian "why Jonathan and nt Buhari?" U will hear response like;
(1)Buhari is a wicked man
(2)He was the one that brought the sharia law
(3)He is Hausa (this answer is popular to the southeastern people) etc.
I know a lot of christians who says Jonathan's Admin is worst we have had but they still prefer him to Buhari. How about d Lagos gubernitoral elections which is turning out to be a tribal affair.
All this is not gud for democrazy and the devolopment of Nigeria. When we accuse one another about being Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba(ethnicity) or being a muslim or christian(religion), lets not forget dat we have frnds, neighbours, classmate etc who have in one way or the other made a positive impact in our lives and no matter which part we originated, we are all Nigerians.
Do not let these politicians nor election to get in the way we relate to the lovely people who have played a part in how our life has been and who will still be around us after the elections. These are people that will come down to shake hands with us now, sweet talk us and then use escort after we have voted them in.
Fellow Nigerians lets vote for who we think can make our country better and not based on religious belief nor ethnicity. #VotenotFight

GOD BLESS NIGERIA.

Truth be told....until JK started his campaign, Lagos didnt have Igbos, Yorubas or Hausas. All she had were Lagosians. The hussles and buzzles...the hard life...the struggle for survival...from the bus conductors..to the bus drivers...passengers...commuters...agbero...bla bla bla...they all spoke a common Lagos language...with the common Lagos sharpness...common Lagos alertness and a common Lagos vision...the vision for a better developed, peaceful and greater opportunities Lagos. This bond had built their drive for prosperity...from Tinubu to Fashola...working hand in hand with a very ethnic rich cabinet...made of pat utomu, joe igbokwe, ben akabueze, and a host of others, lagosians had always been lagosians. But like I said...that was until JK started his campaign.
Just like PDP is known..taking devilish advantage of our differences... Religious differences on a national level, ethnic differences on a local level..and even academic differences on certain occasions...this has been the hallmark of pdp.
Lagosians should look beyond these difference as always...vote for the party that has always offered the best. Feel free to vote Ambode or JK ... But keep tribal diff out of the way...because at the end of the day...everyone shares the same struggle
