Without any iota of doubt, all Nigerians must know by now that the vast majority of the people in this country are no longer ready to go on with all the lies and deceptions that had gone on in this country for all these past years. And even that statement is to put it very mildly indeed. The only surprising thing about this emerging situation is that unlike in the past, the young people that dominate this revolutionary movement have apparently agreed not to be violent about it; no matter the provocation they get from the erstwhile political brigands in this regard.

Now, following the long drawn, debated, argued and repeatedly reassured readiness to deliver a free, transparent, peaceful and credible elections in which our so-called “Independent” National Electoral Commission headed by another supposedly “independent” professor was chairman, it has turned out in many ways to have been a charade of everything that we had been promised and repeatedly assured of.
These are people that the Federal Government had held their salaries and starved for the eight months of their past protest for the proper funding of education. If there is anything that better means “adding salt to injury” than this silly treatment of the cream of our intellectuals, I will like to learn about it. Election materials did not arrive in time in many places for the elections on the very day of that presidential and federal legislators election.
In some cases, as in the past Nigerian corrupted elections, ballot boxes were still filled before being brought for voting, or afterwards. Some of the electronic recorders of votes also reportedly arrived with many people recorded on them as having voted.
The amazing thing about all these happenings is that uncounted pictures and another electronic recording of all these frauds were captured by the people at all these events. Yet INEC Chairman, despite all his promises and assurances that the election would be perfect, all these faults have followed it; by far more than we have ever had in elections in Nigeria, apart perhaps from those of the Wetie crises in Western Nigeria, of 1961-1966 January.
