The way politics is played by the old and the young in Nigeria there is no hope for vast majority of Nigerians. It is stomach politics. No interest of the people. Just check the ministerial nominees. Apart from few it is those who put us where we are that are coming back. Those who pontificated that they were not interested in ministerial job lobbied to be made ministers. No opportunity was created and or given to son or daughter of nobody to become useful somebody in development Nigeria. We are back to political hereditary and rewards for rigging.

In all these how do we expect magic in development and improvements of our infrastructure and social life. Many of those parading in political powers are not fit to lead us to the promised land. They have no livers to challenge those who have ruined our lives and society. If we must lead and teach other countries the rules of democracy then we must be seen to be democratic ourselves. I have not seen Nigerians being sovereign in our democracy. We have despots masquerading as democrats in power. Many of them are political terrors. No democracy yet.

Any nation where the power that be does what it likes and there are no consequences is not fit to be called democratic nation. For me there is no rule of law in our nation Nigeria yet. If we do, no one should be above the law. There are many who are above the law in Nigeria.
