Okwy Okeke (on Behalf of Nigeria
Election iReporters)
| 29 January 2010
Nigeriavillagesquare.com, Saharareporters.com
and a group of committed Nigerians dedicated to
the entrenchment of true democracy have teamed up
to pioneer an initiative named Nigeria
Election iReporters. The group will use
human observers and electronic devices to monitor
elections in Nigeria and to document any instances
of rigging and other abuses of the electoral
process.

It is a shame that the election will hold without
any step taken so far to address the issues of
Electoral and Constitutional Reform. The election
would be conducted with the same defective legal
and operational framework that produced the crisis
after the 1999 elections. There is no hope either

Nigeria is certainly an embarrassment to its
founding fathers. No one is willing to take
responsibility for the confusion in the land. The
tragedy of modern Nigeria is that the leaders are
sick; worse still, they are unaware of their
ailment and they are unwilling to listen or
respond to public

My words seem rather prognostic (Excuse the
pun), when this article was first published
under the headline "Any given sunday" a few
weeks ago, a reaction to the ever predictable
sequel of a lack of governance in a multi
religious society. Then, the antecedent was
Boko Haram, today it,s Jos.

Many will consider this prayer callous,
insensitive and in bad taste, but let’s be
sincere Yar Adua’s death would be the best way
out of the political logjam created by his
stubborn refusal to hand over to the VP when
he is incapacitated by illness or travels out.

I do not know what works for him and how it

lost the Semi final match ag

pronouncement and practice, the fact that he

Atiku and Boni have together made a long

The Federal government is also culpable; in

This is the time for action!!! Writing alone

And so I said to myself: Why should I turn
myself into a pitiful defender of the
vestigial remnants of British linguistic
imperialism? English isn’t the “world

it’s the world language precisely because the
Americans speak it.

Governor Obi has been in office for over
forty months now and it is high time to score
him using his blueprint as an index to do just
that. He developed the blueprint I must
emphasize. It is his own document and not an
inherited piece.

Despite Nigeria’s obvious advantages as
reflected in our various GDPs, it is
