SENTIMENTS
WILL BEGIN TO FLOURISH AGAIN, LOVERS OF MEDIOCRITY WILL BEGIN TO APPLAUD THIS YET
ANOTHER GREAT NATIONAL SLAP; A NATION GOING ON ITS KNEES AGAIN TO BOW TO
TERRORIST AGENDA, A NATION THAT HAD 4 GOOD YEARS TO PREPARE FOR AN ELECTION, 4
YEARS TO HAVE TAKEN THE REAL FIGHT TO THE TERRORISTS IN THEIR CAMP BUT DECIDED
TO FOLD ITS ARMS WHILE THE TERROR GROUP OVERRAN TOWNS AND BARRACKS, DECLARING
CALIPHATES UPON CALIPHATES IN OUR COUNTRY AND DARING OUR NATION AND ITS GREAT
CITIZENS, DISPLACING NIGERIANS FROM THEIR GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATIONS IN THEIR
THOUSANDS WHILE NOBODY FORESAW THAT WITHOUT PEACE, DEMOCRACY IS A FARCE...
A
NATION THAT FINALLY ROSE UP FROM ITS READINESS SLUMBER IN THE VERY LAST MONTH
BEFORE THE SCHEDULED DATE FOR THE ELECTION AND DID THE VERY THING THAT SOME OF
US HAVE BEEN CLAMOURING FOR IN THE LAST 4 YEARS; TAKE THE REAL BATTLE TO THE
BOKO HARAM IN THEIR STRONGHOLD, THROUGH THE LAND AND THE AIR AFTER YEARS OF
PROPAGANDA, POLITICAL BLAME GAMES AND WHAT HAVE YOU.
A
NATION THAT WELL COULD HAVE ENGAGED ITS NEIGHBOURS TO CARRY OUT A JOINT AND
SYNERGIZED ATTACK ON THE ENEMY WHEN THEY WERE STILL VERY FEW AND WITH LESS ARMS
AND AMUNITIONS, BUT WAITED UNTIL THE ENEMY GREW STRONG, KILLED THOUSANDS OF
INNOCENT NIGERIANS, KIDNAPPED SOME AND DISPLACED MANY, OVERRAN NIGERIAN TROOPS
IN THEIR BARRACKS AND THEIR DEPOTS, SEIZING THE NIGERIAN MILITARY OWNED ARMS
AND AMMUNITIONS FOR USE AGAINST THE NIGERIAN MILITARY AND THE REST OF
NIGERIANS.
TODAY,
AFTER FOUR YEARS OF ELECTORAL PLANS AND SCHEDULES, WITH NIGERIANS FULLY GEARED
UP TO GO AND CARRY OUT THEIR ELECTORAL FRANCHISE ON THE 14th OF
FEBRUARY, AS FIXED BY THE NATIONAL ELECTORAL COMMISION (INEC) AND CERTIFIED TO BY
THE TWO NIGERIAN LEGISLATIVE HOUSES, THE NIGERIAN ARMED FORCES HAS STEPPED
FORWARD TO SAY THAT THEY CANNOT GUARRANTEE ELECTIONS ON THAT DATE DUE TO THE
INSECURITY IN 14 OUT OF THE 774 LOCAL GOVERNMENTS THAT MAKE UP THE NATION AND
AS SUCH THE ELECTION HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY POSTPONED FOR SIX MORE WEEKS.
CONSTRUCTIVELY
LOOKING AT THE ISSUE, IT BOILS DOWN TO THE SAME MEDIOCRITY AND INEPTITUDE OF
PUBLIC OFFICE HOLDERS, WHICH SOMEHOW HAS BEEN ACCEPTED AS NORMS IN NIGERIA, IN
A REAL DEMOCRATIC AND PROGRESSIVE SOCIETY, PEOPLE ARE OBLIGED TO RESIGN FOR
FAILURE TO EFFECTIVELY DISCHARGE THEIR DUTIES, IN THIS CASE, THE FOUR MILITARY
DEFENCE CHIEFS HEADING THE DIFFERENT ARMS OF OUR MILITARY SHOULD BY THEIR
FAILURE AND UNREADINESS TO DELIVER AND DISCHARGE THEIR SWORN DUTIES, TENDER
THEIR RESIGNATION LETTERS TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNTRY. THE INEC CHAIRMAN TOO SHOULD BY NOW BE RESIGNING TO KEEP HIS INTEGRITY INTACT, IF HE HAS ANY.
I
REMEMBER VIVIDLY THAT SO MANY PEOPLE CALLED ON PRESIDENT GOODLUCK EBELE
JONATHAN TO CANCEL THE POMP AND PAGEANTRY PLANNED FOR THE 54 INDEPENDENCE
ANNIVERSARY BECAUSE OF THE MISSING CHIBOK GIRLS BUT HE DIDN´T BECAUSE LOGICALLY
WHAT THE TERRORISTS STAND OUT TO ACHIEVE WITH EVERY OF THEIR ATTACK IS TO IMPAIR
THE NORMAL DAILY LIVES OF A PEOPLE AND OBLIGE THEM TO LIVE IN FEARS. WITH THE
POSTPONMENT OF THE NIGERIAN ELECTIONS, SOMEONE HAS UNKNOWINGLY OR KNOWINGLY BOWED
TO THE WHIMS AND CAPRICES OF THE TERROR GROUP, BOKO HARAM.
I
WANT TO IMPLORE ALL NIGERIANS TO PLEASE MAINTAIN THE PEACE AND KEEP CALM, EVEN
WHILE ACCEPTING THAT THE POSTPONEMENT OF THE ELECTION IS A GREAT DISSERVICE TO
OUR DEMOCRACY AND AN UNDUE PROVOCATION TO OUR PEOPLE. LET US ALL BEAR IN MIND
THAT DEMOCRACY WITHOUT PEACE IS A FARCE.
You are ignorant of what is truly going on in Nigeria because i presume you are not living in Nigeria but depend on the lies been fed to people in the media. Now you are saying its only 14 local governments that are been held by Boko haram,but previously, GMB,APC and all their paid media propagandist said the entire North east had been taken by Boko Haram and that they are approaching to take Abuja. what a twist of fate but remember THAT TRUTH WILL ALWAYS PREVAIL LIES AND DECEPTIONS. You are entitled to your pinion but never believe you are more intelligent than the entire ARMED FORCES of NIGERIA and INEC that saw reasons to postpone the election. MAY GOD BE WITH NIGERIA.FORWARD EVER
