The Devil and The Deep Blue Sea

I wish I didn't have to write this kinda piece but the situation of Nigeria, especially in the political space, makes one wonder if there is any hope in sight for the supposed giant of Africa. The moneticking that Nigeria has witnessed in the past few weeks is mind blowing, to say the least.

The structure or conduct of Nigeria's democracy has undermined the essence of the system. At this point, electorates are unfortunately at the mercy of delegates that are supposedly cashing out in the greenback. This brings back the major concern - are we voting for candidates or delegates? And more worrisome is the fact that most winners of the primaries across all positions in the major political parties did so thanks to their deep pockets. Therefore, it might just be another case of choosing the lesser evil, leaving the electorates the between the devil and the deep blue sea, a phenomenon that has led Nigeria to her current situation.

Meanwhile, have you gotten you Voter's card.

But what do I even know sef.
