2015 GENERAL ELECTION; NIGERIA, IS MY CANDIDATE.

                   With a power generating set I  was privileged to listen to Mrs Toyosi  on Sunday night 15th of march at the event hashtaged GEJwinsIT , where she said she will support her candidate and every other person should support their candidates in the fort coming election. brilliant, absolutely brilliant and this got me thinking who exactly is my candidate? 
 Monday the  16th of march, two weeks to our presidential election i was also privileged to witness the " INVASION OF OPC IN LAGOS" and this, again reminded me of this same question of  who exactly is my candidate in the coming general election? some Nollywood actors came up with an advert which is on major television stations with the theme "FOR THE LOVE OF COUNTRY" this again strike a chord in me once more and L have decided to bare and share briefly, my candid thoughts of the situation.
NIGERIA my country, a country blessed beyond reasonable doubt, a country literally flowing with milk and honey. this is a fact no one deem fit to argue. 
let me remind us that this year election is about you and I that make up the entity," NIGERIA", it is not about the candidates or the about the parties but it is about our security, our economy, our businesses, quality of education, basic amenities, jobs,our diversity,our culture,our beliefs our health, and everything that bring about development. Nigeria, is the  key and most important element here and let this ring on in our minds. politics, politicians and policies are tools and equipments meant for nation building, leaders of selfless services but when these present itself to be otherwise we simply replace because it should be for the "THE LOVE OF COUNTRY"

I have come to realize that the power of poverty is like a two edged sword cutting through the flesh and mind of a person and NIGERIANS happen to be a guinea pig in these case study because we allowed it  and this happen to be a special tool in the hands of some politicians.I once said it that if you want a practical definition of poverty all you need do is go on the streets of NIGERIA. leaders will come and go but NIGERIA will always be here, it is our home, it is our land and we ought to care for it. We are responsible for the people that we choose to lead us and we must always hold them accountable for every of their act and actions.
Is this the NIGERIA of our dream? is this the same  NIGERIA that became independent in 1960? 
let us all ask ourselves this truthful and sincere questions and most importantly what do we need do about it; do we want to CONTINUE with a government that is romancing corruption that happen to be the foundation of our problem or we want a CHANGE in ways our NIGERIA is been governed.
