Dear Nigerians, the elections are here again, a supposed time for our nation to elect individuals that will ensure growth and security. Having read various campaign speeches from some political parties I am amazed at why no individual, group or organization is asking for how various promises will be achieved, rather some people look back at what their candidate has achieved (which is a fair analysis as it shows what the person is capable of) rather than how their plans will be made possible in the present economic situation. The two MAJOR political parties involved in this presidential election are the PDP and APC, their candidates the DR Jonathan and Major General Buhari, the formers government saw 20 billion dollars vanish from the system(alleged), the latter ruled during the military regime where he was the law and the law was him. It is obvious that both men are called good and bad dependent on the point of view of the caller however, who they are or what they are called is immaterial to the prosperity of our great nation.(my point of view, whoever can get the job done, give him or her the job). It is already January a few weeks to the election day, if our media houses and journalists were pro active, various interviews should have been conducted where each candidate states their plans (how it will affect the nation at least 15 years after their time) or a paneled debate for various and all the aspiring candidates. My sisters and brothers it is with pain in my heart that I write this, unless tribalism is removed from the minds of men, we will be lagging behind in comparison to the rest of the world.
