My Vision of the 2019 Presidential Election in Nigeria

Before the 2015 presidential election, I had a vision of  a hand from the sky giving Gen. Muhammadu Buhari a baton and telling him to remove his military belt and then I knew that he would win. I related this dream to Mallam Garba Shehu and the details  are in my book, "The Victory of Muhammadu Buhari and the Nigerian Dream", that has become the highest priced book on contemporary political leadership in Nigeria.

What Will Be Your Legacy?

What Will Be Your Legacy?

It is only in a primitive society that people rank having children, houses and vehicles as achievements.
No. None of them is an achievement.
Animals too have children and you don't even need intelligence to have children. All you need are functioning reproductive organs for procreation.

Having a house is not an achievement. But designing and building a monumental edifice such as the Pyramids of ancient Egypt; having a house for a unique library, art gallery or an institution for an outstanding purpose will make it an achievement.
The world is full of abandoned houses that will end up in ruins and most posh cars end up in the junkyard.
Having any vehicle is not an achievement, but inventing or making a unique vehicle is the real achievement.

2019 Presidential Election: Corruption Fights Back To Return To Power

The most corrupt President and Vice President in the political history of Nigeria want to stop the incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari from reopening the files on their looting of the national treasury; misappropriations of revenue allocations for pensions; round tripping used for tax evasion and money laundering; illegal sales of NITEL, shutting down of Nigeria Airways and other corrupt practises from 1999 to 2007. They will also be investigated for the Odi Massacre carried out on November 20, 1999, by the Nigerian military on the predominantly Ijaw town of Odi in Bayelsa State. The attack came in the context of an ongoing conflict in the Niger Delta over indigenous rights to oil resources and environmental protection.
People generally say that the massacre was ordered by the regime of former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

Two men fighting the fight of their lives; what I predict is their last fight.
76 year old vs. 72 year old.
Pro poor vs. pro rich.
Hard core Muslim vs. Soft core Muslim.
Image of incorruptibility vs. Image of corruptibility.
Pro blood and civil unrest vs. Pro power and general protest.
Less internal divide amongst his powersharers vs. major internal divide amongst his powetsharers.
Pro blood loyalists willing to die for him vs. Pro verbal loyalists willing to run away from him and from bloodshed.
In the face of these oppositional standings real or near real,  I hypothesize or predict that Abubakar not Buhari will miss the presidential mark.
