Fellow Nigerians of strong patriotism,
carefully and objectively read the write up below, then make your decisions
concerning the March 2015 election.
Let us assume NIGERIA is a University named
“WAZOBIA University” and the citadel is
made up of staff, students and the larger environment made up of various tribes
in Nigeria: Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, Itsekirir, Ijaw, Issoko, Urhobo, Kaba, Kanuri,
and so on.
The citadel had elected by majority votes
(assumed) a Vice Chancellor who is from the South South region of the nation. During the six(6) year
reign of the said VC, the University had witnessed economic downturn, chaos,
downtool of staff activities, non profit yielding ventures, close down of
plants, killings of staff, student and other community members of the citadel
of learning, also certificates issued by the school had lost value, result of
so many students, current and past are missing, the power of unionism had been
so weakened (that it had now become a toothless bulldog) during the leadership
of the VC. The chaos of death, abductions, bombings, had been suffered majorly
by the Hausa speaking members of the community.
A school of thought and the VC himself
believe the Hausa community had always been at the helm of affairs of the
school since inception and are not happy to have the power relinquished. Thus,
this school of thought including the VC believe that Wazobia University
environment had been made insecure, unhealthy and unfriendly for the community
members, the suspects especially are the prominent Hausa leadership.
Now the opportunity to elect another VC is
here, equal opportunity is given to all the qualified members of each tribe to
be elected. However some schools of thought believe the equal opportunity was
subjectively handled at the primaries giving birth to two(2) major competing
aspirants for two powerful tribes in the school, one is the incumbent VC and
the other from the Hausa community.
To the incumbent VC re-election will give
him the opportunity to make good all the suffering of the community members
either due to his own few human errors or the evil cabals frustrating his
administration. To him, failure is not determined by mere short comings,
inability to move on and improve on past errors is failure.
So to avoid being a failure and prove to the
entire community of Wazobia that he is capable, he is desperate to run for a
second term in office.
But analytically, if the real or suspected
brains behind all the calamities of Wazobia University are the Hausa in the
Academic environment, the tribes Yoruba, Igbo, and so on should have ensured
that someone from their tribe would run for the seat but rather the Yoruba’s,
Igbo’s and others have all agreed to bring forth just one candidate from the
Hausa tribe who is knowledgeable, intelligent, religious, and highly
enlightened politician.
