2007: Nigeria At Crossroads

It is obvious that the Nigerian politicians and our so-called leaders of thought care no less about the affairs of the people they were elected to serve. 2007 is about 10 months away, sadly though, we are daily bombarded with news of politicians at daggers drawn all because of the much talked about "National cake".

We have a President who is bent of serving out another third term or possibly serving for life: the wishes and aspirations of the people he was elected to serve is not regarded anyless. Hence all "bottle necks to this clearly over-ambitious tendency must be crushed.

No wonder the Bayelsa and Oyo State Chief Executives were all sacrificed on the altar of personal aggarandizement. Indeed 2007 portends a a dangerous trend for this country, especially with the proposed introduction the electronic voting system in the polity: it is then apparent that the infamous rein of electoral rigging will return.

God save Nigeria.

There is always rigging when it comes to voting: just ask Bush
