Age old wisdom admonishes us never to be enslaved to the past, no matter how glorious or inglorious it might have been. We are also cautioned to be mindful of what we do in the present, as the present dictates the future.

Way back in Aug 1985, IBB was "Nigeria's present". He had just taken control of a people who were adjusting to the hard disciplined life that they were coerced into by the then "immediate past", Buhari. Nigerians gave him (IBB) many chances when he was "their present" and he experimented with many ideas. By Aug 1993, when he ended being "our present", Nigerians had become more corrupt, more confused and more divided than ever before. He successfully purged us of any discipline Buhari/Idiagbon might have inculcated in us.

Now in 2010, we have a GEJ who we see as in-experienced for being too plain, not cunny and expressing his opinion too fast on state issues. This can however not be held against him as it will be unfair to refuse to employ a qualified fresh graduate for lack of experience. It will only be fair for Nigerians to join hands with GEJ, our first Phd holder Executive President and a man whom destiny unfolded as "our present" to achieve our much desired "glorious future" No matter how glorious or inglorious IBB's time was, it is wisest to consign him to the past where he belong. We should allow GEJ, "our present" to take us to "our future"

While IBB has repeatedly reminded us that Nigeria is not a united entity by emphasizing that we should only be happy when someone from our zone is in power during "our turn" for good or bad, GEJ has encouraged us to think as "one people" and forget the accident of our different places of birth. If indeed we are "one people" our concern should be for the best sets of President/Vice President and Governors/Dep. Gov before we apply Federal Character principle to select the best from all other parts of the union to fill the other posts. This surely is the path of wisdom.

Any serious contender desirous of leading us from "our present" to "our future" should stop yelling that we should sacrifice merit in the name of zoning. We are in "our present" condition because we have always in "our past" jettisoned merit to make way for zoning.

meaning?

Meaning that GEJ is our present and best so far (among the other crowd) to take us to our glorious future as a nation.

Wat a terrible terrible past and a terrible present

future ?

[size=8pt]Are likening someone who has been Governor, Vice President, Acting President and Incubent President to a fresh graduate. Take note that GEJ is the only one who has passed through these stages. He has been specially prepared by destiny to take Nigeria out of the woods. I had just finished watching his Town Hall meeting with the people of Plateau State. All his responses were open and sincere unlike the maradonic style and arrangee questions others would have organized.[/size]
