Back to our vomit?

As the news began to trickle in yesterday from Ekiti, I began to wonder if while attempting to tame dogs, we picked one or two habits from the canines. It is said that a dog goes back to its vomit, but we seem to do that a lot too as a nation! If not, how can you explain the persistence of people who have proved to lack integrity in governance?

Why do we keep on recycling leaders ( rulers I mean)? Why is it that the same people that were in government when I was in primary school still stroll along ( or shall I say sit robust in) the corridors of power now that I am a corper?

Is it a lack of suitable and qualified young Nigerians? ( this is obviously not the case) or a lack of interest from the younger generation? 

Maybe it's the captivating effect that power has on people, such that they wish to go to their graves still holding on to some form of authority ( I laugh at their foolishness).

And when these people approach the populace I don't understand why we accept them and go ahead to support them.

 It has to be that plague of amnesia! Short term, medium term, long term, ultra short term! Name it! We are quick to forget the past! 

And this endemic amnesia plague brings along with it Myopia! Shwortsightedness. We can't see beyond now! The Nigerian populace get so carried away with instant gratification, that they mortgage the future. 

2015 is knocking, and we will yet again be served with a plate of our vomittus appearing  like a sumptuous meal. In fact, it will seem at that point that we do not have a choice. But I beg to differ! 

We have a choice. And we should and we will exercise that freedom to choose by asking questions, getting involved at the primaries of parties, looking at the records of candidates and making informed decision.

We will reason and forget the sentiments of religion, tribe, profession and what have you. 

We are not dogs! We refuse to go back to our vomit!  How much more we! The resolute and vibrant people of Nigeria! 

God bless Nigeria!
