Our Polity

In recent timess alot of political tension and uncertainty has clouded the air of Nigeria's social space...yet you wonder who the REAL actors are and what is probably going through their minds as we all await the Hand of God or the Hand of man in our polity.

A pressing question has been on my mind this January and it is 'are we being played the showbiz approach of perception and deception?'

If Mr Goodluck were to take over the helms of affairs of this nation, then it would mean that the people who own the economic might of the country also control the political might...invariably...the season for our southsouth brothers has arrived...
BiIG Question. Is the timing completely right?

This I ask based on the fact that the Southsouth were bound to come into power after the 8years of our northern brothers...please forgive my assumption but the very fabric of our Politics and Constitution is based on the seemingly unseen hands of ethnicity and therefore power rotation.

So would our northern brothers do anything to keep the power play for 8years....including the possible hostile take over?

Or would our southsouth brothers up their game and claim a right that i believe ....is theirs..or shouldn't it?

Or is the clamore for Goodluck from the camp of "his enemies" who can foresee that the current situation will destroy him thereby ruling out his ability to contest come 2015?


When will the power players finally agree on the next 'thing'? because to kid ourselves that they donot exist is to exist in Nigeria but not live in it.
