NIGERIAN POLITICS: THE LUCKILY LUCKIES, LUCKILY UNLUCKIES AND THE UNLUCKIES

 By: Ekeledo Kelechi Hart   If you are conversant with people and politics in Nigeria, you will agree that some people  are luckily lucky, some  luckily unlucky while others are not just lucky. Examples of the three categories are hereby delineated below. (Note, this is base on observations and personal opinion of the writer). LUCKILY LUCKY 1. Chief Olusegun Matthew Aremu Obasanjo. He needs no introduction. Arguably the most favoured politician in Africa. Twice, he has been the number one citizen of the most populous back nation. First as a uniform man, second as elected. And all recorded a huge success. Failure has never known him as he retired from active politics without losing any election bid. He has also seated and unseated Presidents and Governors. Best still, he is alive, hearty and healthy. What an uncommon favour. 2. Chief Theodore Ahamefule Orji.

THE MANY SINS AND MINUTE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF BUHARI

By  Augustine Kanu and Hart Ekeledo With one year gone, and three more on for the first tenure of President Muhammadu Buhari, many Nigerians have expressed a similar sentiment of  total dissatisfaction with the policies of the present government over the last one year. The All Progressive Congress led government within its first year in power, appeared to be more of sluggish in tackling the enormous challenges confronting the nation as well as forgetful of its numerous promises made to the masses during the electoral battle back in the days, prompting critics to put it vehemently to the ruling party that they caught power unprepared. Simply put, overstressed yet, worrisome issues like unemployment, insecurity, poor electricity, and dwindling economy seemed to have worsened within the last one year. There was nothing concrete the government could boast of except for flimsy excuse of lack of fund.
