NIGERIA, INEC, AND YAKUBU

Conversely, the world is made of Black and White people. The continent of Africa is famously known as a Black continent. Nigeria is a country situated almost at the center of Africa. It is the most populous Black nation in the world. This literary mean that the average Blackman has his root in Nigeria. Nigeria is more like a Pride of Black nations or the Black race. Nigeria is the symbol of the Black nation. Every Blackman looks up to Nigeria as the emancipation or rallying point of the Black race.

I was taught in Primary school that the future of the Black race lies in one country, Nigeria. Meaning that when Nigeria sneezes, the whole Black race shakes. When Nigeria is on the Right Trajectory, the whole Black race is in progress. But whenever Nigeria slips, the Black race slips.

This just-concluded 2023 general election has once again projected the image of Nigeria and by extension the Black race to the world. Mr. Mahmoud Yakubu [my conscience cannot allow me to ascribe 'Professor’ to him again] told the whole world at Chatham House, London of his Guidelines, Regulations, and Acts for the conduct of the election by INEC headed by him. He re-emphasized his readiness to give Nigeria and the world the freest and fairest of elections. Enough resources and time were given to him.

The election has come and gone. According to Mr. Yakubu, the outcome has emerged.

My Questions Are:

1. Is this all we can offer to the world at this era?
2. As a Nigerian and Blackman, can you proudly tell the world that this general election was the best a Black race can offer?
3. Is Nigeria moving forward or backward?
4. What hope of faith do you still have on Nigeria as the Symbol of Black race?
5. What does your conscience tell you about the election?
6. Do you still have trust in Nigeria, INEC, and Yakubu?
7. Above all, was the Black race truly cursed or Nigeria is the cause?

All eyes are on the Supreme court to give a final definition of Nigeria to the world.
