The politics of now. The tragedy of the Nigerian country.

 Like it happened in 2014, another round or is in circulation, so  much money being bandied around amongst a few merchants of evil, all of them in pursuit of political power for very selfish  personal goals and gains. The front line parties remain the big, not only are they poised to takeover, they are also ready to by up or destroy of the smaller ones especially those that look a bit challenging in whatever manner, such is the lot of the labour party and the African Democratic Congress . the labour party has been able to climb out of that valley largely due to the personality of its presidential candidate and the resurgent Nigerian youth, whilst the African Democratic Congress has not been able to withstand the torrential impact of pressures from outside and so just this week the party that once looked and stood firmly rooted succumbed to the now Nigerian factor, it destroyed its chances in the forth coming elections by breaking into two factions, with the new boys   asking their national chairman to vacate office for he has stayed for too long, 17 years. As good as this argument sounds, one would have thought that the elections which are 6 months away would have been priority, but the new boys said no ,the house must dissolve, a caretaker committee put in place, a national convention held to fix a new leadership before the elections. How workable that will be is what we wait to see. But the main leadership maintains that it will hold its convention after the 2023 elections and so the country waits. 

With the cracked walls in the African Democratic Congress, no doubt the forces of destabilisation have creped in  and the centre can longer hold . the loser remains the Nigerian who feels  there should be an alternative to either the PDP or APC. 

As an unusual member of the political class, I watch with so much attention and care and can feel the looming danger, this country would have to travel through the river Jordan should either PDP or APC win in next years election. Except if God intervenes by any means, I fear for the merchants of evil are lurking around, they are strong and wealthy , their arrogance have no comparison, I will go to the book of psalms, I must read psalm 91.

FOR THE RECORDS AND THE CHOICES WE MAKE ! Vote for FREEDOM. Vote Effiong Nyong

Not that the PDP government did well, but not in our wildest dreams did we ever imagine, that things could be this bad. The cost of goods and services are on the the roof tops, the insecurity is alarming , delinquent juveniles have become normal as parents have lost control, like the falcon and the falconer in the poetry of WB Yeats's "Things fall apart" as the election of 2023 beckons ,it is back to the people to choose, collect #2000 and mortgage your future and that of your children, there are 18 political parties to choose from. The two so called big political parties in cross river state , know what has been happening to the Bakasssi stabilization fund of #500million monthly collection from the federal government, since 2008,a total of #84billion at #6billion per year, and there is nothing to show for it. This same individuals are campaigning in Bakassi and other parts of the southern senatorial zone pledging and promising all manner of things, and they know they are...

APC Rally in Calabar with a PDP Coffin

Image
Good day to all of us , these are pictures from an APC rally in calabar, which I presume a lot of us would have seen, there is even a video, which shows that the APC governorship candidate and the sitting governor of cross river state were present at the event.  I'm not a PDP member or sympathizer, I am Efik ,I am Qua, I am Efut, I am Kiong, and I am from cross river state and a Nigerian citizen.  I see us derailing and degenerating everyday despite individual contributions of some well meaning  persons.  I recall my last post  which I headlined as "Back to South" where I queried  the one sided execution of  the concept ,which I termed discriminatory , following which I had some bashing from some individuals who felt I should not have said anything in that regard, one "big man" even asked me to leave grammar and support whoever I care or choose. And i dare say that, we might be doing well as individuals, but as a people, we are losing it on the altar o...

The Obong of Calabar: His Eminence Edidem Ekpo Abasi Otu

Image
The story of the African Monarchical stool , which the very people and persons who are supposed to uphold , constituted the band of those wanting to bring the revered stool to ridicule.  From the days of former Governor Donald Duke and his adventurous show of power to the immediate past Obong of Calabar, the late Edidem  Elijah Nta Henshaw to the tussles of the present leading to the supreme court ruling. We have also been witnesses to the removal from office of professor Hogan Itam as the Muri of the Efuts and the creation of the seat called "the Paramount ruler of Calabar South.  The desecration and intransigence hurts. All on the altar of political expediency and over bloated egos. In Efik ,Efut Abakpa ,Kiong and other heritable or hereditary stools we know ourselves ,and we know impostors and they know that we know them. A true son does not need any announcement , the family knows and the ancestors bear witness. It saddens my heart each time we take our sacred matters...
