This can only mean one thing, VALUE. You pay for what gives you value. Can you imagine me paying to watch Buhari speak?. Nowadays, I no longer read those press release by Adeshina and Garba shehu. They are just hollow and full of junk. I also can't be reading junk press release by aides of Tinubu and Atiku. Thank God for giving us Obi.

A great man

Sunday Politics: The Christians And 2023 Elections by Passionnn: 10:35am
Whether we accept it or not, religion has been a strong factor in Nigeria's politics. Since returning to democratic rule in 1999, there has been an attempt at rotating power between the two major religions in the country- Islam and Christianity.
There appears to be a slap on the faces of christians this time around when the two major political parties, PDP and APC adopted Muslims as their candidates. To add salt to the wound, the ruling APC opted for Muslim/Muslim ticket.
The only glimmer of hope the christians have is the emergence of Peter Obi as Labour party presidential candidate. But the overlying political structure gives Obi a very slim chance to win.

HOW OBI CAN WIN
One obvious way obi can win is to fully mobilise the christian voters to vote for him. As it stands, it's 3 Muslim presidential candidates to just Obi the major christian candidate. If the christians were to unite behind obi, it would be an easy win for him as the other 3 Muslim candidates will have to share the Islamic votes among them.
THE HURDLES
One major hurdle is due to the politics of ethnicity. A Yoruba christian might likely vote for a Yoruba Muslim candidate because they are from the same tribe.
Also the teaching of Christianity does not promote disunity and hatred for non adherents unlike the Islamic teachings which promotes suspicion and hatred for non Muslims. Consequently, christians vote not on the basis of religion. But this needs to be reexamined because if we fail to do the right thing, Christian will be out of presidency for 16 years. During which time, more Deborahs will be burnt to death in the guise of blasphemy. More Leah Sharibus will be kidnapped and married off illegally by their abductors. More herdsmen invasion of southerners farms will occur.
IN CONCLUSION
Nigeria has survived this long because there have been deliberate policies to carry every segment of the country along. I have to whip up religious sentiments here because it appears the christians have been too docile politically. At least, we can express our dissatisfaction through the instrumentality of the ballot.
Happy Sunday.
