As Nigeria marks her 63rd independence anniversary, some Nigerians opine that the country has got nothing to celebrate with her faulty electoral system and ‘judiciary-for-sale’ syndrome.
They berated the Independent National Electoral Commission for conducting ‘the worst elections after giving Nigerians huge hopes’ in the last general elections. The nation’s legal system, they claim, is ‘bastardised by judges who desecrate the altar of judiciary’.
Jerome Okenwa is an Awka-based civil rights activist. He said, “Unless we are simply celebrating failure, otherwise I see nothing to celebrate. What is worth celebrating when our electoral system has turned into a bazaar! And when you run to the judiciary as the last hope of the common man, you are asked to produce the original certificate of the forged one? I can only celebrate Nigeria when the masses determine who govern them, and not the current administration of the wicked upon the majority.”
For Comrade Aloy Aji, Nigeria is a ‘giant toddler’. Aji said, “Nigeria at 63? The giant toddler of Africa at 63 with no feeding bottle or even a walking stick to really differentiate wither Our Heroes past or our no-show credentials.
“What a celebration for a country so distinguished in the past but so messed by gangsters with tendencies of ruin, deceit and subjugation of what remains of the already abused citizenry!
What a celebrant and celebration of falsehood planted on 419 antics and wicked dispositions and purposes! Yes, Nigeria, We hail Thee or what else can the docile mind classify it as?”
