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.

Wannabee Prime Minister that is Denigrating her Native Country... for What?

Omo ale lo maa hun fi owo osi j'uwe ile baba eh - it is a BASTARD child that uses the left hand to describe her father's house.... We should speak honestly about our country, but when you hold a position like Kemi does decorum is essential. She could say the same thing in a way that will not impact the lives of ordinary Nigerians who live and make a honest living across the globe. She is an opposition leader for crying out loud... She is dragging her native country deep into the mud to gain cheap popularity.... She will need the votes of Nigerians if she will ever be Prime Minister one day. Every letter of her words will come back to hunt her... I trust Nigerians in the UK will not only mobilize against her, but they will also mobilize other Africans and Carribeans to shun her...

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...
