An Open Letter to theTribunal Judges

 

Dear Tribunal Judges,

The ongoing election tribunal is very important in the history of Nigeria. It will define how good or how corrupt Nigeria judicial system is. The 2023 general elections, especially the presidential elections has been tagged by Nigerians and the rest of the world as fraudulent, corrupt and violent election. The people’s elected President, his Excellency, Peter Obi of Labour Party was denied the victory given to him by millions of Nigerians and was asked to go to court by INEC and APC after declaring Bola Tinubu of APC the president select. Ever since, Nigerians all over the world have been crying, agitating and calling on the judiciary to do the right thing. It has been very disturbing whether or not the judiciary will fail us too. It will be shameful if the judiciary will allow a few number of witches to keep holding Nigerians to ransom. Many Nigerians went to vote on the national Election Day against all odds. I was very sick on that day yet I managed to find my way to my polling unit to cast my vote because the coming affliction that I see, is far worse than the bodily affliction that I felt then. To deprive Nigerians of the president they have chosen is therefore not acceptable.

The evidences of who won the election are very clear starting from the campaign period to date. The enemies of Nigeria tried to dig up faults against Peter Obi, and when they failed, election violence and rigging became their only source of false victory. There were so many manual and electronic evidences that revolve around collation and transmission of the presidential election results that are too obvious to be denied. I therefore urge you to look beyond money and threats, and save your integrity as well as the face of Nigeria and Africa.

It is not possible that a proven drug lord, liar, ruthless killer and a terrorist will become the president of Nigeria just because INEC and few Nigerians that are indebted to him said so.  The only thing that is possible is a new and better Nigeria where students will pay school fees and enjoy the wealth of knowledge without interruption of frequent strikes, where the youths will have an enabling environment to thrive in their entrepreneurial endeavors devoid of hostility, where Nigerians will pay for light and water and enjoy same in adequate measure, where federal character will truly be implemented and where labourers will no longer labour in vain.

It therefore lies in the hands of the judiciary to make sure that justice prevails and that a criminal shall not be sworn in as Nigerian president come May 29^th. We implore you not to manipulate the law and thrash the hopes of many Nigerians, hence giving God a hard time using other means. Enough is enough! May the Almighty God, the greatest judge see you through!

Enemies of Nigeria

 

From the North and down to the South, Nigerian enemies have continued to increase over the years. They can be found in every nook and crannies of Nigeria and their fangs have continued to grow because they eat fat and suck the blood of many Nigerians. They have turned the green fields of Nigeria to red with blood of innocent citizens. They shake hands today, they exchange fists tomorrow. The more we watch their movie titled ‘chameleon,’ the less we see. Their only agenda is to impoverish Nigerians until we all see them as gods to be worshipped.

Enemies of Nigeria are not only those who embezzle public funds and divert it to their personal gains, they are not only those who bury money at their mansions, they are not only those who divert our natural resources to their private businesses, they are not only those who create artificial scarcity, They are not only those who starve and destroy our institutions because they have stolen enough money to get the services they want anytime they want it and anywhere in Europe, America or Asia, they are not only the greedy politicians who can destroy innocent lives to get to the seat of power, they are not only the greedy politicians who engage the services of contractors but refuse to pay them after doing the job, they are not only the selfish politicians who sponsor election rigging, they are not only those who rig elections or manipulate election results, etc.

Enemies of Nigeria are also those who applaud those wicked politicians, they are those Nigerians who help the evil politicians to carry out their nefarious activities, they are those Nigerians that help the wicked and selfish politicians get to the seat of power, they are those Nigerians that do not have PVCs for no good reason, they are those Nigerians that did not collect their PVCs for no good reason, they are those Nigerians that have their PVCs but have made up their minds not to vote on Saturday, the 25^th of February 2023 for no good reason, they are those Nigerians who go hungry because they cannot access their deposited money and still think that what will happen will happen whether they vote or not, and bla, bla, bla.

The die is cast and this Saturday, Nigerians are faced with two choices: to choose freedom or continue to live in bondage. We have seen the handwriting on the wall and cannot continue to pretend we don’t know what is happening. In this season, God has caused a credible candidate to come out and contest for presidential candidate. The Holy Bible said by their fruits we shall know them. Peter Obi has proved himself as the best candidate of all the presidential candidates, if not for any other thing, at least by his past records when he was the governor of Anambra state. It is not God’s job to come down and drag Peter Obi to Aso Rock, rather, we only need to go to our respective polling units and vote for him and then allow God to finish what he has started in this election season. How Peter Obi will survive in the midst of enemies of Nigeria shouldn’t be our problem; all we need to do is vote for him and then keep praying for him to succeed and the rest is God’s job.

IdealOlive says a new Nigeria is possible! Vote for a new Nigeria, vote for Peter Obi of labour party as the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Remember, majority carries the vote!

The Political Revolution Ever

 

It Began with Corruption

The political revolution Nigeria has ever witnessed since its Independence in 1960 has been happening since February 2022 till date and there is no going back. Before now, it has been business as usual and corruption grew from Day Care to Post Graduate level until it was finally given a PhD robe and crown. Most Nigerian politicians saw Nigeria as their farmland, private business enterprise and their personal ATM and POS machines. So there, they mine treasures and mineral resources as they like, recruit who they want and sack who goes against them and embezzle funds as they want without thinking of the damages and consequences of their actions. No accountability of any sort! Why will they care? Why will they account for anything? Do they even have conscience? Who will they give account to when if one thief leaves another thief will take over and the circle continues?

They intentionally created a system that will protect them - a system that promotes criminals and imprison the innocent people who they consider a threat to them. They are the official criminals that recruited men and woman out of the masses they have impoverished to cause chaos and spread terror in all the zones in Nigeria. A lot of monsters they created have kidnapped and killed a lot of people to please their official criminal masters or at times to force their masters to look their way for their pay after completing a particular deal. Burning of churches and places of interest, kidnapping, robbery, mysterious eating of money by animals, rapping of women in their farmlands and destruction of farmlands by cows became the order of the day.

Life Became Unbearable

The innocent people were the worst hit in this tragic drama and political nightmare. Standard of leaving kept going down and all hope seem to have been lost. Some who can no longer meet up with life’s challenges joined the bandwagon through praise singing – they started praising the criminals to sustain themselves, hence, the list of criminals continued to increase. Those who could not join the ‘moving train’ continued to work like an elephant and eat like an ant then go on their knees to disturb God for their daily needs that He has already provided. When the available churches could no longer contain those who come in to cry unto God for deliverance from their enemies and those who oppress them, more churches were built and founded; both good and bad; for people to pray more so that God will deliver his children from slavery and poverty, and for those who hijacked our God-given resources to distribute it evenly.

Aside crying to God for help, Nigerians resorted to creating jokes out of every frustrating and depressing situation just to get on by. Comedians started increasing day by day and using their God-given talents to put smiles on the faces of people. Through them, most Nigerians learnt to overcome their sadness and sorrow with jokes and laughter.

Agitations Started

Some could no longer tolerate the nonsense going on in the county as a result of bad governance but many did not have the courage to speak out. However, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu took the bull by the horn and started attacking the corrupt politicians one by one in his own way. When he started many saw him as a ranting animal and did not side with him but as time goes on, as he began to open the eyes of many and as many saw in reality what he was ranting about, they started believing him. He became a threat to the evil politicians and they started searching for him until they caught and imprisoned him for no legal charges. Meanwhile, most of his family members and IPOB members have lost their lives in that struggle.

Youths were not left out in this, in fact, they were the most marginalized. They started losing hope in education and in Nigeria, since there are no jobs waiting for them after graduation. Not only did Nigerian leaders fail when it comes to job creation but they also failed to create an enabling environment for many industrious youths to create jobs on their own. They couldn’t keep quiet any longer when they were tagged ‘lazy youths’ and when government started encroaching in their private lives through security operatives, and then ENDSARS started. Youths started agitating peacefully for their rights and yet again, the shameless politicians dared to touch the lion’s tale by killing some innocent youths whose crime was to demand for a better Nigeria.

God’s Answer Came

It is clear from the political events of February 2022 till date that God has actually answered our prayers the same way He answered the prayers of Israelites while they were in Egypt, and that answered prayer was the beginning of the political revolution. An Eagle rose from the land of the rising sun and decided to be the answer to the many years of prayer. He refused to be intimidated by the ruling gods but became the reason why Labour Party, a party without a surname and structure became a popular party in Nigeria today, and is even shaking the ruling parties.

Power of Credibility and Competence

Like most politicians whose campaigns are characterized by intimidation, stealing, kidnapping and lies of what they will do and will not do when they assume office, Peter Obi started his campaign by telling the masses what he did as a governor which every true Nigerian has testified to. He has since changed the political orientation of people through his speeches on the state of the economy and solutions to Nigeria’s problems. He has been consulting great minds and politicians of developed countries to learn their secret, yet his opponents are busy using microscope to dig up irrelevant faults from him while criminality spews out of their mouths and prints on their footsteps.

While his opponents were sharing money because that’s what they’ve got, Peter Obi was busy enlightening many Nigerians and appealing to the hearts of many. Hence many Nigerians have come to realize that they have been selling their conscience for a peanut that can only feed them a short while and throw them into a more severe poverty. Since Peter Obi emerged as a presidential candidate, many crashed hopes have been revived and many people have believed again in a better Nigeria. Before now, many people believe that politics is for the corrupt; to them, vote doesn’t count, they have already chosen the candidate to be in power and casting of vote is for formality. Therefore, so many people don’t bother to get their voter’s card and those who have will rather stay at home on the Election Day and wash dirty clothes and clean their houses. Today, many people have decided to give voting a chance because of Peter Obi.  Because of Peter Obi’s enlightenment, many people no longer believe in party politics, rather, they have come to believe that every credible or competent candidate should be voted for irrespective of the party they belong.

Still Doubting?

Though there are still people out there who still doubt, who can’t still read the handwriting on the wall, still believing that it will still be business as usual, like the doubting Thomas, they will believe when they see, so we don’t have to crucify them, as they are still afraid of what the political bullies can do. Meanwhile, the political bullies who are threatened by Peter Obi’s emergence and credibility have been busy strategizing on how to rig the election to their favour, so they can finally sell off Nigeria. They should know that it is no longer business as usual and prepare for karma and nemesis. Some of them will run to exile, some will be confined on a hospital bed battling with many deadly diseases while some will go six feet underground. Our only prayer for them should be that whether they are on exile or on a hospital bed about to die, may they endeavor to make peace with their maker before death knocks.

Knock! Knock! Who’s there?

A new Nigeria is about to be born and no one can stop it. The political bullies may empower their tugs to spread terror and scare people from coming out to vote. This is not the time to be afraid because the only weapon against them is our votes. We should rather prepare for self defense and be at alert while we go to our respective polling units to cast our votes. Nigeria of our dreams is knocking at our very doorsteps and we should do our best to give it a chance. Idealolive says: Election is around the corner, Vote Peter Obi of Labour Party as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria! So go collect your PVC now!

RIGHT ATTITUDE TO VOTE CAMPAIGN

Election is a formal group decision making process whereby an individual chooses a particular candidate that will hold a particular office for a set number of years. Election is the means through which the offices of executive, legislature and judiciary, are filled both at the federal and state levels. 

The power to vote or not to vote during elections is in the hands of the adult citizens. The decision made by those who are eligible to vote goes a long way to determine how the nation or state will be governed. In Nigeria, those that participate in the voting process are usually few. The citizens can cue to collect their voter’s card whenever it is tied to their bank account but only few will turn out to vote with same when the time comes for them to go out and vote. 

The common Nigerians have many excuses and reasons why they will not vote but are the first to die in the hands of terrorists like boko haram, Fulani herdsmen, etc.; they are the ones who fill the hospital beds because of water borne diseases or diseases caused by dirty environment; etc. Some of their excuses for not voting are: If you vote them into power, they will not keep their promises; whether I vote or not, I will still suffer to put food on my table; Are they the ones feeding me? Etc. Flimsy reasons from the most affected Nigerians that will never take us anywhere. Yet, these are the people that have the power to shape Nigeria. Meanwhile, the Fulani herdsmen and other enemies of Nigeria will leave their cattle and their other engagements on the day of election to go and vote for those who will protect their cannibalistic desires. True Nigerians need to grow up.

Nigerians need political education. We need to create a strong political awareness in Nigeria to sensitize Nigerians on the right attitude to vote. If we must change Nigeria, then well meaning Nigerians should embark on personal and group #RightAttitudeToVoteCampaign to sensitive the political illiterates in Nigeria. We will all die one day if we continue to keep quiet. This is not a matter of God forbid because our God is also the God of all those who have lost their lives to Boko Haram, Fulani herdsmen, those whose deaths are caused by economic hardship and environmental pollution.

God cannot come down from heaven and do for us what He has given us the sense and wisdom to do for our own good. If our employer in our offices or those higher than us gives us job to do, we use our brain to figure out how to do it in order to make them happy; or do we go back to disturb them at every move for them to tell us how to do the job they have given us to do. No, we dare not, if we do, then we are not relevant, and should be replaced. But in our case with God, we not only disturb Him to teach us how to live the life He has entrusted to us, which He gladly does by His daily guidance, but we also disturb Him every now and again to do that job for us. It is high time we stop disturbing God except for help and guidance. It is time we go ahead and chose a good leader using our votes and power as citizens instead of just praying and crying to God every time for good leadership. It is time to do our own part as humans, by so doing; we will enjoy God’s benefit and blessings.

Media workers; TV and Radio stations, Journalists and bloggers have a role to play in making sure that the people are well sensitized to vote right. They should make sure they educate the public before the campaign starts to make sure that the people are well equipped to overcome the negative spirit of politics that possesses people during the elections. Users of social media like face book, Twitter, Instagram, etc should endeavour to circulate or share every blog or post that will educate people on the right attitude to vote. We have to change Nigeria. People need to be enlightened and empowered before the elections. This is not the time to collect any change from the politicians because that chicken change never lasts for a day or month as the case may be. This is not the time for TV and Radio stations to campaign for their favourites because after the campaign and elections, when workers will be owed salaries, it will affect all. We need to stop trading our birthright for a meal of porridge.

If we campaign against APC or PDP, politicians are ready to recycle themselves through another party of our choice because they still have the money they stole from us. They not only have the money, they have connections and they believe they own Nigeria. So what do we do? It is certain that we must have to vote for some people and it is obvious that we no longer want to recycle leaders and their cabals. Already, they have started winning our votes with their sugar coated mouths. They have started to deceive us gradually. They are already using their weapon of lies to win our conscience and blackmail us emotionally. Their campaign groups will soon start their propaganda and jingoistic metaphors. They will soon start telling us that an opponent attacked them or said this or that against them in order to win our sympathy, and we, been so gullible will become their victim. That is why we need to equip ourselves with enough weapon of information to overcome their propaganda when the time comes. But who are those eligible for our votes?

God has given us common sense. There are three people we cannot lie to and they are; God, ourselves and the devil. We cannot deceive God and we cannot deceive ourselves. Devil on the other hand knows those who are his and those who are not. Those who we know that can serve as good leaders and can handle executive, legislative and judiciary offices live among us. Majority of them, if not all shy away from Nigerian politics because they cannot contend with the gorillas, baboons, etc that occupy political offices. 

We have the mandate to judge correctly and identify these men of integrity and intellectuals among us without fear or favour, and without religious or tribal sentiments. Not because they have favoured us individually but because their leadership will favour the masses generally. This will be a matured step to freedom for Nigerians. When we identify these ones, we should pressure them to contest and we should go ahead to support them by organizing a massive campaign for them without looking at the benefits, and then, going all out to vote for them when the time comes. By so doing, we will be voting out the gorillas, baboons, etc. and voting in those who are humans.

Another four years is too much time to live in fear and pain. Every blood that has been shed in Nigeria shows the irresponsibility of both Nigerian leaders and those Nigerians who have refused to do the right thing during elections. Should we fold our hands again and watch them spill more blood. Let us do that which we are supposed to do as humans and leave the rest for God. Who knows whose turn it will be, to be slaughtered if we refuse to use our weapon, which is our voter’s card. The time to act is now!
