At last, and thanks to past lessons and worldwide best practices, we should be having the long overdue entrenchment of independent candidacy for political office in the Nigerian Constitution. Bravo!
This is the chance to reduce political violence, money-bag evil and trecherous godfatherism in our electoral affairs. But the really exciting part is the opportunity to attract professionals and peace-loving candidates, who are otherwise discouraged by current practices, to the soapbox.
For me, it is golden. We can now challenge NIGERIANS in the Brain Drain DIASPORA to come make landmark contributions in our nation's quest for sustainable development. The most attractive being the Baby-Boomer generations who are stable, successful and soon-to-retire from their under&about-60 of age jobs. Then the business group. Plus the nationalists and patriots who have been yearning and waiting for years. Just imagine if this clan captures half of the local government chairmanship positions in 2007. That will be pounding prospects of some 400 well-run centres of excellence! Surely we can then find 40 of them ripe enough to migrate to governorship seats in 2011...can't we?! If we apply same possibilities to the states and federal positions, things would dramatically change from 2015 for our dear NIGERIA. Believe.
For these folks, this site will be a worthwhile tool in their kit. We will help equip them with home-truths and home-keys. It's about time.
