The 2019 General Elections

Nigerians ought to distinguish between political fixation and political awareness in their overall search for candidates, especially the forthcoming 2019 general elections. Political fixation causes unreasonable thronging to the ruling parties (PDP, APC, APGA, etc) at the expense of political awareness that should have helped the citizens to choose good politicians who are desirous of serving the people but are not known due to their less attractive parties —- non-ruling parties. Nigerians should break away from PDP, APC, APGA, etc, and vote new politicians in some of the newly registered parties. This is called a mass break from political fixation and an embrace of political awareness. For sure, if applied to the 2019 general elections, Nigeria would grow again and would also work again, and this might restore the hopes of millions of the citizenry who share with Achebe’s ‘There was a country’, and thus make Achebe to ‘smile’ that a country is evolving.

Nigerian nation in need of leadership

The Nigerian nation needs transformational leadership at all levels of the life of the country.
