OF late the political survival of the children of that mythical man called ODUDUWA has been in focus. President Jonathan, perhaps in one of his unguarded moments, started it by advising (according to me) the South_Westerners to guide against their zone from falling into the hands of political ‘rascals‘.

Many lovers of Nigeria, indigenes and foreigners have advised Nigeria to get it right this time. At the approach of all elections in April, the assumption is that the elections would be conducted in such a transparent manner that the votes of the people should reflect absolutely their choices. But this is one aspect of the problems.

If politics, devoid of its absurdity, is regarded as the art of governance or the science of state organization, politicians would be regarded as those who are interested in understanding the nature of a State (Country), how it is being governed and by which method. Since according to a Greek Philosopher, man is a political animal, the assumption is right, we are all politicians.

I CONCLUDED my last week‘s contribution with an advice that the government should adopt the option of a ‘Cheap Money Policy‘ for Nigeria‘s dormant economy.

NOT for the first time in our recent political history, the country appears to be heading towards an unknown land or uncertain future. The reasons are quite simple but very clear. None of the issues that could make Nigeria great are being adequately addressed or raised either by presidential aspirants or gubernatorial and other contestants for political posts.
