The unfortunate US and Western conspiracies in the shambles we call an election.
It's quite nice coming back to write again today in order to keep my readers up to speed with the recent happenings around town and in diaspora. But to begin, I'd like to ask if you all had some great night out there as did I?
Yes, in today's article, I will be revealing to us all some of the key things that happened in this part of the world(Nigeria precisely) where I came and all the sleepless nights such unwarranted act has caused us.
My heart bleeds and all thanks to @Read.Cash@Read.Cash for making it a point of reality for me to come here and air my view and my aggression using this undisputed read.cash platform to do that in the just concluded shamble elections that were held across the federating units in Nigeria in the month of February 25, 2023.
Long before now, we've always had and experienced a very flawed elections given what was known those days as a manual collation of election results but since the introduction of a more modern and rigging free Bivas machines, we were duly assured by our own electoral commission in the independent national electoral commission (inec) that with a big time investment from the Nigerian government, we will have at least for once a credible and flawless election whereby our votes will end up counting and our election results being counted and transmitted right from the polling units to the inec irev server.
That alone gave us all a lot of hope as many Nigerians in diaspora came back to observe what was to be supposedly known as the about to be the best election of all times given the implantation and applications of all the electioneering materials and well trained returning officers and other electoral agents to mention but a few including logistics.
With all that, the hopes and stakes were high enough as we all brewed in some absolute confidence for the election d-day to arrive when we shall all happily exercise our franchise in electing a government of our choice and by our choice given what we were told in the four corners of the class rooms during our tutorial days of the word democracy and the need to preserve it for a better now and a future society.
The day was set and I was so surprised to have seen all the old flaws return back in full force of the old systems and to even mention the worst case scenario, was the return to a manual collation of election results despite the presence of the bvas machines that was meant for an accreditation of the voters and then charged also with an automatic transmission of the polling units results collated at the polling units.
The second disappointing thing is the fact that the said election was marred by violence and all manners of ballot box snatching plus a direct confrontations with the political thugs and a willful disenfranchisement of a particular tribe in Nigeria (the Igbo) in places like Lagos being the former capital territory of Nigeria.
The worst did come and that was when even the so called security agencies like the army, the police, the civil defence and all other security apparatus were used to disenfranchise the citizens so that their votes for their preferred presidential candidate does not get to count as we are held Ransome.
Many video recordings were made of all those disturbing issues that raised so much concern, yet, the so called present government of the day did not take any actions as regards all those doings which indeed raises some high level of suspicion over the government of the day's stance in curbing elections malpractices and arresting all the thugs that were used to snatch ballot boxes and disenfranchise many.
We were all disappointed in the entire election systems that did produce a president elect at a time when everyone was still asleep while the election results as regards the said winner was announced by the so called inec chairman at the dismay of everyone. Yes, we all woke to the sad news of the announcement of a president elect and that indeed gave impetus to the yelling of the people for our votes to count and for the whole process which was termed flawed to be cancelled.
Our pleas could not go down well as the government of the day that seem to have conspired with the so called inec it sponsored in order to produce those shambles of an election, only paid a deaf ears to us all.
The dissatisfaction did lead some of the key contesting parties to seek a redress at the court of law that over the years seemed somewhat compromised without serving the real purpose for which they are known for being the the last hope of the common man, what a double standard!
The case is in court as I write at the moment but the people's fears are the fact that justice may be denied us as our collective mandates seem rather threatening than actualized over our lack of a trust in the double standard act of our compromised judicial systems.
The last straw that broke the camels eye is the the US and the Western allies conspiracies in Nigeria.
If you are reading this article as a Western or as a US citizen, then s feel free to read through with a positive mind and then help us advising your countries as against their unforgivable conspiracies in the issues relating to Africa and with Nigerian as the main mother of all African countries or the giant of Africa.
You may wonder why I did mention the Western and their US conspiracies and double standards and two faces right? Yes, it is and I have no regrets saying that in that we were so disappointed especially with the United kingdom ambassador to Nigeria and the US president Mr Biden with their congratulatory messages to the Nigerian president elect
who of course does not represent the with of the people given the process of a flawed, faulty and unfortunately unforgivable elections in Feb 25, 2023.
How sad that the so called world's biggest preachers of democracy could end up or turn out being the biggest witch hunts of our rights to a Freedom of movement, speech, association, critics and many more to the disappointment of many citizens and world viewers across the globe.
My advice
I wish to use this medium of communication in advising an immediate withdrawal of those congratulatory messages from the US president Mr Biden and those of their Western allies in the British high commission and many to the Nigerian president elect who does not serve our popular view and choices as regards what true democracy is.
