KWANKWASO, AMAECHI AND OSHIOMOLE PREVENTED FROM TRAVELLING TO EKITI STATE: MY TAKE By Kingsley Muoneke

While I do not support avoidable gallivanting and frolicking of the breadth and length of the Terra firma by supposed suzerains of the new found democratic ethos and ethics in the vanguard of the APC- and any other party-, it is my thinking that what President Jonathan has done in this case and in many other cases involving Amaechi and other seeming 'troublesome' governors in particular is to increase their popularity and make people have positive affection for them as the President continues to hunt them down even for matters that can go without some hullabaloo. And, in most cases, the hunted is hunted just for the stupid reason of being in the opposition!
Starting from the persecution of Amaechi as the Chairman of NGF by the President, something every right thinking person must kick against except of course you believe that 16 is greater than 19, the President has from that point put Amaechi as someone who is hunted down for no good reason and that has earned Amaechi the peoples' affection.

The point? The President drags himself into many avoidable and needless fights with perceived enemies. Worst of all, the President has not won any of the fights with Sanusi, let alone Amaechi who is a fish bone in the President's throat. It is a waste of time. If your opponents or enemies waste their time and resources in unnecessary travels, must you dignify and popularise their 'efforts' with such hunt downs that even require state resources to effect? Why not leave them to the rebuke and lashing of the citizens of their states? For Goodness sake, you have Boko Haram to deal with, yet you have turned APC into an Haram of sorts- APC Haram- that you now continue to chase which is a milder and less malignant problem. Rubbish!

The whole civilised world is laughing at us (Nigerians) - Adejumo

If anybody thinks we are practicing what are meant by POLITICS and DEMOCRACY in Nigeria, such people need their heads examined
.
Politics (from Greek: πολιτικός politikos, meaning "of, for, or relating to citizens") is the practice and theory of influencing other people on a civic or individual level. More narrowly, it refers to achieving and exercising positions of governance — organized control over a human community,particularly a state.A political system is a framework which defines acceptable political methods within a given society. (For more, see Wikipedia)


And of course, we know what the definition of Democracy is; but is that what obtains in Nigeria? Not even 1% of its requirements.

"We are never deceived; we deceive ourselves, said Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

When we are finished deceiving ourselves, let me know. (I might be dead by then, anyway)
