I write in this article as a contribution of my
personal thoughts regarding moving Nigeria forward. In
other to save time and space l will like to go straight to the
various ways by which we can move this great nation forward. President Olusegun Obasanjo being the no. 1
person today has the responsibility to conduct a free and
fair election. This can only be done if he comes out and
humbly tell the nation those things he has done wrong and
ask for forgiveness on them. To err is human and to forgive
is divine. He should be totally (100%) sincere with all
government policies and their executions. Awareness must be created among the common
man on the streets that most of the present and past leaders
of this nation do not love them and so if they give them
money or material things to win their vote, they should take
the money and vote according to their conscience. They should
keep vigil over the counting of votes-if necessary with
weapons to defend themselves. The present revelation between the president
and his vice should be allowed to go on (that is, if both of
them will tell us of the billions and not just few millions)
because at the end of it, Nigeria and majority of Nigerians
will benefit with the very few corrupt ruling class ending
up as losers. This is the time the press needs to
seriously
identify with the common people of Nigeria for they will be
doing themselves and the unborn generation a lot of good if
they rigorously expose corrupt people ruling us at all tiers
of government. This is no more "if you cannot beat them
join them", but if you cannot beat them, confuse them,
scatter them and disorganise them. Tunde Onadipe © Copyright
