2007 Is REAL

Fellow Nigerians,

This is not a voice from Dream Land. This is not a hype from the Political Wilderness. This is a take from a stakeholder. Believe.

I have never been so optimistic about our democratic endeavour since the 1993 annulment saga. There is enough to make us doubt. There is enough to send us to sleep. But I say to you, get on the plough and work your dream for fatherland. The time is now. Both old and young are now burning with angst to save Nigeria. Watch.

Predictions: The political space will be opened up in May 2007 by a combination of positive forces-for-good, including the collapse of the Third Term Agenda. Political realignments will see prominent players jumping ship, and spilling the beans. Anti-corruption progress will consume some unbelievable names from unlikely sources. There will be media onslaughts among friends and public amity among foes for Nigeria's sake. News from abroad will sink some party chiefs even as several communities will disrobe/disown their erstwhile "representatives". The era of "withdrawing awards/honours" from disgraced/discredited holders is at hand!

Predictions: Some ministers (past & present) will pay executive price from the due process drawers of betrayed bureaucrats, and the private sector will be hammered by both the CBN and the fearless media. The Banks Consolidation Story is yet untold!

Predictions: The Brain Drain will yield its fruits in the 2007 season. And Rural Nigeria will hold the political lifeline of our democracy.

Keep a tab.
