Default Re: Wole Soyinka: Debts Nigerians Owe Nigeria!



I Love Nigeria, may God continue to protect you from those who wants to physically harm you for refusing to demand that the last elections in Nigeria be cancelled.

Simply ask our "patriots-cum-political activitists" what they individually and collectively do to ensure that the last general elections in Nigeria was free and fair.

For example, ask them the following questions:

1. Do they ask the numerous mushroom political parties to form genuine, viable political parties?

2. Do they expose the shenenigans of the people like Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Gen. Ibrahim Babaginda and was is not a fact that both men were alleged to have sponsored many of the mushroom political parties which are all vying for offices?

3. Is it not a fact that over 50 political parties which were registered to contest last elections are an unnecessary burden unto INEC's preparation for the elections?

4. Was it not a fact, then, that candidates were being substituted left right and center by the political parties and some of the candidates were jumping from one political party to another sometimes a few days, hours and minutes before the deadline?

5. So, really, did Prof. Wole Soyinka and his "learned" friends expect the last Nigeria's elections to be free and fair when all of the major actors are all on each other's throat for one reason or another which has absolutely nothing to do with President Obasanjo's supposed desire to run for the "Third Term"?

As much as I respect Prof. Wole Soyinka, I would really suggest to him to reflect deeper on all of the events leading to the 2007 general elections beginning from the last controversial elections of 2003, and what role each and everyone of these present opposition players played in those events?

To Prof. Wole Soyinka, I ask: can a farmer sow onions and harvest sweet-potato? If not, why in the world is he and his friends are now demanding for cancellation of the last elections instead of seizing this present opportunity to demand the formation of at least 2 strong other political parties in addition to the PDP?

President Yar' Adua should ignore these electoral moral activists who wants him to violate the Constitution of Nigeria in other to proof his moral high grounds. They must me told that those who refuses peaceful, genuine and positive electoral reforms should not cry foul when they have been rigged out of office by superior hands.


Peace and Love.
