Nigeria and do or die politics.

Democracy is supposed to be a government of the people,for the people and by the people but in Nigeria, the case seems to be the reverse.It has been studied that every Nigerian head of state or president that assumed office have always have this mentality of getting himself intoxicated with power or claim self aggrandizement,This phenomenon also applies to African leaders and third world sovereign nations.The sudden emergence of Goodluck jonathan as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria was no suprise to many given the fact that the then president,Late Umaru Yar'adua was critically down due to health complications.But the Nigerian Polity after the death of yar'adua and under the new leadership of president Goodluck Jonathan have provided a fair improvement in governance than his predecessor.For the fact that President Jonathan made petrol/fuel available at a Uniform price of N65/litre in all the federation is a plus and a sign of Good leadership because since 2002 when I came to the South east,I have never bought fuel in a private station at the market price,it is always being sold with a difference of over N15 to N30 higher above the market price.Now the election is here,and different candidates are begining to emerge for the office of the presidency and counting down to the finale,We the masses should block our ears so as not to hear the empty and gigantic promises of the desperate politicians and go out to vote the candidate you like."Nigerians have come of age of listening to conmen who call themselves politicians and leaders and will vote whoever pleases them,it is our right to vote and we will vote"Chukwura Chukwuemeka.
