We
all know that our great nation Nigeria is bleeding from corruption, bad
governance, injustice and mediocrity right now. One Nigerian is dying every one hour
in the north because of political laced religious militancy being faced by
millions of our brothers and sisters.
Thousands
have being killed and nothing serious is done by the authority to bring the
perpetrators to book.
I'm
one of the schools of thought that believe May 29 should never be our democracy
day; I believe June 12 is a better option.
Because
it was a day that Nigerians across the nation voted not based on their
tribe, culture, ethnicity or religious affiliations, many believed that the election
was the fairest and freest election we've had in the history of our nation.
June
12 would have been
the most justified and ideal day because every Nigerian from the North, South,
West or East could identify with HOPE 93 where millions came out to cast their
votes for the people's man "MOSHOOD KASHIMAWO
OLAWALE
ABIOLA"
but all their efforts were truncated and many died in the struggle against the
military in order to restore true democracy to our land.
At
least, if I was too young to understand the intricacies of politics then, now
I'm a great student of history because I've learnt alot about Nigeria from the memoirs of Nigerian great historians.
