It is a pity that weeks after the presidential election, the election which was generally agreed to be fair and free; Nigerians would still be under the feeling of uncertainties about the structure and composition of the federal cabinet and also the security of life and property of the individual. Unfortunately, if feelers are reliable, President Jonathan might disappoint his numerous admirers as to his ability and that of his ruling party (PDP) to forge a new Nigeria.

It is observed that since the May general election in Nigeria, events seem to have been moving fast as being expected by many patriotic citizens. The new rulers, both at the state and federal levels, have been ushered into their elevated chairs with costly dinners, sweet wines and pleasant launches to marked the beginning of a new era.

Last Sunday saw the inauguration of the President and Governors of the twenty states (some new) with joy and radiance, satisfying new hope and expected transformation. Adherents of the Christian faith would see the colorful event as ‘Baptism’- of the death of sin and the rising of hope.

It is no senseless assumption to believe that many Nigerians would prefer a great and prosperous nation under any favorable condition. The lovely song before Independence had a sonorous chorus – we prefer independence with danger than servitude in tranquility. However, since 1960, Nigeria had the desired freedom but with undesired misery.

There is no doubt that President Goodluck Jonathan is at the moment thinking deeply on the structure of his government for the next four years. His party, the victorious Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as expected now, must have submitted the names of those who would benefit from the spoils of electoral war in the usual selfish tradition of‘winners take all‘. I am sure that the election victory was Jonathan‘s even if the party through which he won is the PDP.

As expected, INEC under Prof Attahiru Jega has performed above average in giving millions of Nigerians a credible election which has become satisfactory to both domestic and international observers.

THE other funny Saturday when I witnessed an election that never was, saw a funny side of me. In utter desperation to conquer my anger over the days‘ incidence, I threw myself carelessly on my bed with windows open, not minding any intruders.

Many patriots and some friends of Nigeria are still doubtful of peaceful co_existence of the peoples of Nigeria even if Prof. Jega and his INEC, by divine help could hold successful elections in April. The reasons are obvious, even for the blind to feel, if they could not see.

It is generally accepted that Nigerians are queer people with unpredictable responses to events and often, indeterminable responses to events.

After series of articles by many Nigerian patriots and having listened patiently to many commentators on the country‘s problems and after I have analyzed carefully the solutions profered by experts, I am back with a vengeance. The problem the present position or the predicament of our country, named Nigeria by a sweet damsel of a British administrator called Flora Shaw is defying solution.
