The election is catching international attention. It won't be long before they start acting

At the end of the day, the poor people of Nigeria who are supporting their oppressors to rig elections will also bear the brunt of it

International shame

Buhari just conducted the worst election in the history of Nigeria.

Is that all?

Nigeria is finished

Its saddening that after so many decades and attempts, we still cant hold free and fair elections (even June 12 was stage managed).

But then it is not surprising given that we cant conduct a true census, dont have reliable electricity and lack potable water in most of the country.

Yet many of my people continue to focus their efforts on stoking tribal and/or religious sentiments, which only serve to facilitate the incompetence and corruption of the failures that some call leaders.

A very sad nation - smh.
