Nobody Should Vote In The Coming Elections- Etcetera Writes Again!
Some people have
accused me of not liking politicians, so let me set the record straight. I
don’t! They have done more harm to our nation than the military (their first
cousins). At no period in our nationhood has the opportunity for reversing the
dehumanising nature of a politically corrupt society like ours been greater.
Every Nigerian who seeks freedom should rethink all temptations to rush to the
polling station on February 14 in an attempt to further entrench corruption
with a transfusion of his or her energies. Let us instead participate in a
peaceful revolution to rescue this country from disintegration and death. It is
better for any society that has been shredded by corruption to undergo a few
headaches, fevers, and stomach upsets in the interim. It is better to rid
Nigeria of her sickness once and for all than continue our habit of suppressing
the symptoms which is exactly what we’ll be doing voting for the same crop of
corrupt politicians in the forthcoming elections.

General M.Buhari’s School Certificate: To Be Or Not To Be?
This was written by Mr. Adolphus Nwachukwu.
In the past few weeks the issue that has wrongly been in the
front burner is whether General M. Buhari is qualified or eligible to contest
the Presidential Election of 14/2/2015 having regard to the provisions of
sections 131 and 318(1)(a)-(d) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria, 1999 (as amended).
In other words, is it a mandatory constitutional requirement
for General Buhari to produce his school certificate or Its Equivalent to the
Independent National Electoral Commission (‘INEC’) before he will be eligible
to contest the 14/2/20015 Presidential election? Does the Constitution of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended) (hereafter ‘the 1999 Constitution’)
stipulate that a Presidential candidate or aspirant like General Buhari must
produce his/her school certificate or its equivalent before he will be eligible
to contest a Presidential election?
