Religious Leaders and 2011 Elections

Blessed be the truth-sayers for they shall be in Nigerian Pantheon. Be they clergy or laity, especially CLERGY.

We have seen unbelievable scenes of religious perfidy and spiritual iniquities in this land, including lies, frauds, distemper, heresies and hegemony. We have endured murderous teachings and outright murders, incitements and  indictments, provocations and invocations, to our utter dismay and disgust.  We don see plenty for this kontry!

But see the beauty-in-the-beast: The truth-sayers never gave up! There they were in the minority, but they mattered to justice and God' Deal for the land. So, they stood for the masses, with the masses, by the masses. We thank them. Those who thought truth will never rise are now witnessing the big surprise. They must now arise and bear witness, become witnesses of the TRUTH: God do descend for Nigeria and Nigerians o - no magomago, no wuruwuru again! The truth-sayers are being justified, soon to be edified and publicly robed in "pantheonic glory"! Yes.

If I were Nigeria's religious leaders therefore, I will root for free and fair ballots and give my congregation the education, castigation and motivation they need to choose right. They must troop out and exercise their civic and democratic right to vote. They must take this duty seriously and perform it dutifully.

If I were these revered clerics, I will preach and protest against CORRUPTION - the core problem of the land. I will join in the crusade positively, privately and publicly. I will stand up to be counted, to be known and noted on the side of The PEOPLE!

If that be so, I will urge the clergy concaves to do same...PUBLICLY. What better time than 2011? And these ELECTIONS?

If I Were PDP on the Chairmanship Question

This is a friendly advice to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). The issue of chairman from Chief Ogbulafor to Dr Nwodo has been one big dent to the party’s image. Both suffered from the manner of their ascendancy - appointment rather than proper election.

The post is so crucial that party members must be allowed to VOTE in a special convention for all willing well-canvassed and well-scrutinized candidates. Let the best and most acceptable to the rank and file win.

If I were the PDP, I will give all interested aspirants ONE month to campaign and bring back the same delegates of the presidential primary election to come vote for a new chairman.

This should be over and done with by February ending. He/she will be sworn in at the venue, and preside over a NEC meeting the next day - to take full charge.

As the ruling party, for now, I will do no less.

If I Were President Robert Mugabe

The situation in Zimbabwe has gone beyond a crisis. It is now a catastrophe! The news are so horrifying that we must all be truly shaken and sorry.

It cannot be right to keep blaming the West for the plight of the Mugabe regime, nor can anyone justify the scandalous pains of the citizens on outside forces. The pictures coming out of this sister nation should turn our stomachs in Africa - if we are truly our brothers' keeper!

If our leaders won't act, we, The PEOPLE, must rise in one voice and shout them into ACTION.
Enough should be enough!

Now, to Papa Mugabe. If I were him, there will be no more delays or dribbles. I will make peace possible by announcing my immediate RETIREMENT from politics...in the interest of justice, Zimbabwe and Zimbabweans. That is not weakness. It is statesmanship.

I do not need anyone to tell or cajole or coax or compel me to save my country!

Dear Papa, as a patriot, time is running out...
