Kindergaten rule

If you haven't heard, the whole of blogville is at Diamond's place enjoying themselves, so don't be left out.

Favouritism has really taken the centre-stage in Nigerian politics this time around. The ruling PDP have definitely read Geaorge Orwell's Animal farm. It's now in black & white, even pronounced by Mr. President himself that all animals are equal but some are more equal than others.
Abi what is the explanation for deciding to go ahead backing some gubernatorial candidates who have not ben cleared for misappropriation of funds? This our same government is the one that is "out to fight corruption with the whole of it's blood".
Can you imagine Obasanjo saying that "a known devil is better than a hidden angel"?!!! In a country where there's supposed to be rule of law? It just sucks. And this favour is given only to cameleons like Gbenga Daniels and not to the generally caught PDP thieves who wanna come back.

That reminds me of what Chief Gabriel Igbinedion said about his son after his first term in office as the governor of Edo State in Nigeria when he seeking for a second term. His remarks were that a son who fails a class should be allowed to REPEAT HIS TERM!! So they should give his son the chance to correct his wrongs :-S. So they have turned Nigeria into Jeleosinmi and Kindergaten where people experiment & learn how to rule?
God bless our nation. Where is Gani or Soyinka to lambast these people when we need them to?

I guess for OBJ it is better to go with the devil you do know thatn the devil you don't. Nigeria is so crooked from the top to the bottom. How to go about change is the question. I think they should stop recycling old military heads, people that have served before and bring in a younger corwd with more enlightened thinking. That is the first step in a new Nigeria.

@ C-girl - Remember what Fela said - 'I no want die, I no want quench, papa dey for house, Mama dey for house, I get one child.......' LOL

@ 9jadue - Yes oh. It's this our wonderful nation.

@Jaycee - Ol'girl for real o! Atimes we ask if it isn't necessary to have a higher thinking than the generality to be a politician.

@ Simply gorgeous - Great words. That sounds nice. My fear is if these political juggernauts would want to allow well-meaning youths have a share of the control. Pat Utomi is a real guinea pig in such a case at the moment.
