POSTPONEMENT OF NIGERIAN ELECTIONS, ANOTHER BIG SLAP TO OUR FACE

  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.

  1. 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
