Egede Lawrence casts media light on the purposes of election failures in Nigeria.
Any political Candidate who wants the sympathy of the electorate must be cocksure that the Security of lives and properties in Nigeria is a guaranteed priority promise.
The issue of spending money first, for the mass support and solidarity of the electorate is an old story, not a guarantee now.
If you are a political contestant in any party of choice this time, don't quite rely on your present ability, or a few group formations for the public mobilization process and support and solidarity.
I am not discouraging your effort, but I advise you to link up with God, to teach you the way of using wisdom to get people to support you in elections.
Watch what is at the back of your mind, and be careful that you will not disappoint people later on when you succeed.
In this piece, mark you that if you are a good politician you are free, but if not you are the exact target of the discourse here.
Be reminded that I am not an anti-political advocate, but an anti-political injustice crusader of the first order born to be so.
I admire a political leader and promote the good works done by him or her, then douse every abusive publicity against such a person. That's my media aim.
We should all hate harmful and abusive politics, which has its origin in the pit of hell.
This piece is a long-standing reality of what had made Nigeria a very risky nation, because of political neglect of the masses after elections by self-centred politicians who are in power.
Today Nigeria is under threat with all sorts of political, social, economic and militant security challenges that are stubborn to address because of ignorance.
I believe that God is the overall decider of how things should be done if we agree with Him.
But to agree with God is a far cry and that's the danger in it because politics has virtually represented human survival in Nigeria with acute afflictions.
Except in some cases with a politician, who has a very clear conscience to achieve golden goals for the masses, it will be futile to trust politicians who are accessible at first, and later on, become inaccessible after clinching the seat of power.
This kind of habit of those illusive politicians has been responsible for igniting the fire of discords, discouragement and hostility amongst the people.
With the little I understood about politics in the history of Nigeria, it has been like going to a mechanic workshop to repair a breakdown vehicle, without moving the mobility object to the location of maintenance.
In this situation, nobody will be able to assess the real damage and the cost of repair that the vehicle will undergo.
It is oftentimes the hidden agenda of fictitious political masters, in the background that causes public disaffection and confusion under probabilities.
About the breakdown vehicle in which the damage rate is unknown, it could be difficult for the mechanic to estimate its cost effect by relying on mere guesswork.
Guesswork is the name of an egocentric Nigerian politician, who keeps the electorate back to the previous fears of tricks and pretence in false politics.
Most Politicians in Nigeria mindfully cultivate the habit of engaging themselves to fool people around.
They pretend like Angels in the beginning, confuse the masses in the process, and at the end of it, they force the electorate to live in probability and confusion.
About the breakdown vehicle, there will be confusion if the mechanic tries to give the cost of repair, which should be done if the vehicle was taken to the workshop for attention.
Frankly speaking, hardly will most of our politicians take the electorate to the harvest point, after they have used them to sow the seeds yielding later rain results, in their electioneering campaign reward farms at the end.
As far as I know, Nigeria's style of politics represents making an end to confusion, conflicts, chaos, neglect, pride, ignominy, arrogance, misplacement of priorities and miscalculations.
Politics on its own in Nigeria is being miscalculated, to mean nothing in return to the people used to gain access to the seat of power, after all the hassles.
Many Politicians in Nigeria can conduct their priorities, to mean a personal projection business of the mass's responsibility to win elections, with futile aims.
With the exercise in futility, we discovered that the politician did not tow the breakdown vehicle to the service workshop, neither kept the masses surely informed nor told the mechanic what went wrong.
For this reason and knowing not the actual problem with the vehicle and the cost of repair, it became a misdirection of the purpose and everything failed.
In the analysis, the question is how many Nigerian politicians ever kept or gave an accurate account of their stewardship to the masses after power in their respective offices of service?
The breakdown vehicle is like Nigeria conveying the masses, the driver is the politician, the mechanic is the service bay man, and the location of repair is the politics of using the people, who have been disappointed, abandoned, frustrated and aggrieved oftentimes in the past with futile attention and without rendering account.
Now in reaction to the futility, the aggrieved electorate has developed different mindsets against the politics of wrong purposes and choice-making.
Under these circumstances, the driver, the passengers, the breakdown vehicle, the chances of repair, the unknown cost and the possibility of movement are lost in the miscalculations.
That's why Nigeria is difficult in politics, forcing people to be under confusion all the time.
The above enlistments are the only bone of contention, which forced the electorate to develop different mindsets against the politics of the day and elections in Nigeria.
The above report is telling the politicians of today not to think it is business as usual now, but think about changing their styles, not in futility after all said and done, to avoid changing the mindsets of the electorate into fury after political elections.
To God is the glory forever.
