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.

DARWANIAN Theory - The Driving Force Behind America's Capitalism Philosophy

Communism died, and capitalism survived. Capitalism is a supposed system that allows freeness in an economy - market forces in the hands of private owners control what happens to the economy with minimal influence by the state. Capitalism has produced enormous wealth in the West. There are so many millionaires and billionaires. The question is, what is the ratio of the stupendously rich and those who are just scraping by - living from pay check-to-pay check? The gap is huge between the rich and the poor in most capitalist states. When President Trump was going to deliver his tax reform, it favored the rich with about 80% of the tax benefits going to the top 1% richest people in America. The argument was that they create jobs, they should benefit more - money is being given to those who really do not need the extra cash but those who need it the most, aids is been taken away from people who are at the bottom of the ladder because of a few who lie on their social welfare claims.

Lagos - Calabar Coastal Highway, Another White Elephant Project by the Nigerian Government?

Except Nigeria changes its approach to project execution fundamentally, I do not see the Lagos - Calabar Coastal Highway project finishing in my lifetime. This project was conceived in 2006 by OBJ, 18 years ago. They are just starting today... 2024. If things are done properly, it will take 8 years - 8 years oh... that could be 80 years in Nigeria. How many decades since the Ibadan - Ilorin highway was conceived (since 1979) - it was restarted in 1999 during OBJ who conceived the road during his first stint in government as a military head of state. The road is yet to be completed, and the portion completed is already dilapidated, worse than the old road. Lagos - Ibadan expressway is yet to be fully completed 25 years since it was awarded. There have been several awards and re-awards since 1999 and billions of dollars have been wasted on a major road that links the commercial hub of Nigeria to the rest of the nation. There are so many other Federal highways like this, especially those ...
