Nigerian Presidential Election in 2023 on My Mind

I do not subscribe to the politics of ethnicity. It is not the best but in the context of Ngierian politics, it is what seem to work. Unfortunately, the political clime in Nigeria is not mature enough to stand on the personality of the candidate. The main parties zone everything from the presidential candidate to, vp, senate president and the speaker, even the service chiefs until Buhari's last 4 years where he broke

Presidential politics of 2023 will be very dramatic. I am just thinking of how the Igbo factor will play out. If neither of the main political parties who have produced an Igbo presidential candidate, and there is no formidable Igbo candidate from any of the other parties, it will be exactly 53 years that the Igbos have be excluded from the top job in Nigeria after the civil war in 1970, and 57 years after the last Igbo leadership. Tinubu is gearing up to be APC candidate in 2023 from the information being peddled. Maybe PDP will field an Igbo candidate with a northern vice. It will be interesting how this will play out.

Up till now, the political parties have played the politics of zoning. Buhari has surrounded himself with politicians of northern extraction to the chagrin of others. All the security chiefs but 2 are of northern extraction. If APC want to be and not want to be a madiator of chaos in 2023, they should field an Igbo candidate. The zoning formula should be in Igbos' favor in 2023 after 57 years of exclusion. We want peace in Nigeria.

THERE IS A SHORT WINDOW FOR PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST, CONCERNED PARTIES SHOULD GRAB IT WITH BOTH HANDS

Exactly a year today, the terror organization Hamas struck terror in the hearts of Israelis. Over 1200, mostly innocent people were murdered in cold blood in the most barbaric way. The evil wrecked by Hamas reminds us of the evil we are capable of as humans if we think there will not be any form of accountability. The attack is condemned in all of its forms. Such should never happen again. My heart goes out to families mourning dead family members, and those still waiting for their families taken hostage to return to them alive.   Since then, the Israeli army has unleashed terror of their own on Hamas, in the process killing so many innocent Palestinians in an attempt to exterminate Hamas, and their own terror continues, mostly on innocent Palestinians. Israel engaged in what some called genocide by cutting off water, food, power, internet, and major resources to over 2 million Palestinians in Gaza. The world has condemned the way Israel is prosecuting the war because they have bee...

When you discover the wisdom of the universe, it is as if...

When you locate the wisdom of the universe, it would be as if you have a magic wand... Your prosperity rolls over, you climb to the top faster and leave many behind... Funke Akindele's movie, "A tribe called Judah" remains the highest-grossing movie in Nollywood (Nigeria's movie industry). I saw the movie last week and could not make head or tail of it.. But something was unique about it. It was the first Nigerian movie that cast MANY actors from all the major ethnic groups in the nation.. These are top actors... For so long, Nollywood has been divided along ethnic lines... You have the Yorubas doing their thing, the Igbos doing their own and our brothers in the North, the Hausas doing their own. But this movie cast actors from everywhere, so, it became a must-see for almost all Nigerians ... Funke Akindele is a talented writer, actor, and producer. But she is also a shrewd businesswoman. She located the wisdom in tapping the talent of diverse ethnic groups in Nigeria...
