Election 2019: If you show up, they can’t rig - Saraki to Nigerian youths

- Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki has urged Nigerian youths to participate in the forthcoming 2019 elections

- Saraki, in a video posted on his Facebook page, told the youths that their participation in the polls will prevent rigging

- Saraki is the director-general of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council

Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki has urged Nigerian youths to participate in the forthcoming 2019 elections, stressing that their participation in the polls will prevent rigging.

Saraki who is the director-general of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council, made the plea in a video posted on his Facebook page on Sunday, February 10.

The Kwara-born politician called on all young Nigerians of voting age to see the 2019 election as a test of the strength of their numbers, adding that with 51% of the voters on the register being youths, they make up the most crucial voting bloc in the country.

His words: “To the young people of our nation, I want you to know that you cannot afford to just sit on the sidelines any longer. All across the world, young people like you are deciding who will lead their nations. The youth of Nigeria have an opportunity this time around to become the deciding factor.

“On February 16, you must come out and vote. To sit at home is not an option. You have a big say in your future only if you vote.

“I have read a lot of comments about young people saying that they won’t vote because their votes do not matter and that people want to rig the election. Here’s my answer: 'If you vote, they can’t rig!'

“The more people that come out to vote, the less likely it is for those that want to manipulate the results to do so - its a simple mathematics. It is the numbers of registered voters who failed to come out and vote that the riggers seek to manipulate in inflating votes for a candidate or group of candidates.

“I urge you all, take this election seriously, and together, we can make history together by saving Nigeria’s future.”

Meanwhile, a pan-Yoruba pressure group, the Agbekoya Farmers' Society has pledged support for the PDP presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar in the forthcoming presidential election.

In a meeting with the deputy chairman of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council (south), Otunba Gbenga Daniel, the group expressed their interest in the presidency of Atiku, saying his developmental policies especially the issue of restructuring, will allow every zone of the country to develop at its own pace.

In the words of the national secretary of the group, Dr. Moses Ogunsanya, “The Buhari-led administration has been the worst period for farmers across the southern and Middle Belt of Nigeria. Forget all they are saying about making gains with the agricultural sector, the present administration supervised an assault on us with the herdsmen attacks. While we were crying, the government looked the other way.”

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...

TYPES OF DRAMA II

Comedy: We use the words 'comedy' and comic to describe something that is funny in our everyday lives. These include a joke or a fantastic story that is full of nonsense, or an absurd appearance that makes us giggle, smile or laugh. Comedy is not inherent in things or people but the way things/people are perceived. Comedy is a deliberate presentation of events/experiences drawn from real life but not the same with real life. We should therefore not expect dramatic comedy to be the same as real life. Generally, the plays have good endings or resolutions, so when a play ends happily, we refer to it as comedy. In most comedies, the principal characters begin in a state of opposition either to one another or to their world or both. By the end of the play their opposition .is replaced by harmony. Aristotle in-.his “Poetics” insisted that in tragedy men are shown “better than they are”, while in comedy “worse than they are”. For him it is an artistic imitation of men of inferi...
