It’s officially official that the democratic practice in Nigeria has gone AWOL….
welcome to the era of VAR….
What’s VAR….?
It means, Video Assistant Referee which is currently used in the game of Football.
In the game of football, the credence to any goal scored does not solely lie on the hand of the Central/officiating Referee (INEC) but on the VAR team (Judiciary)
The Referee might blow the whistle for A GOAL situation and the player or team who scored the goal would waste about 10 minutes rejoicing for a supposed goal( election win at the polls) only for the VAR team (Supreme Court) to upturn it regardless.
This has caused the players to save their jubilation after scoring a goal 🥅 not until the VAR team decides it was a goal. The stretched joy or celebration after this often look waned.
Prio to the emergence of Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the new occupant of the Aso Rock, the democratic processes though wouldn’t be adjudegd as perfect or anything near it but it was making some effort towards attaining normalcy.
Tinubu and his “snatch it and run away with it team” have destroyed the last that’s left on the democratic linings in Nigerian political space.
Did anyone notice that, after the Presidential election which had Bola TINUBU Ignore any form of Public debate nor engaging the press for questioning on how he inteded to lead Nigerians, The post gubernatorial elections that followed suit : ImO, Bayelsa and Kogi, none bothered to go for any debate?

Haahahahaahaaa…… Yes, they have seen that actually, you don’t need to convince the electorates on why they should vote you rather, find a way to consolidate more power and money đź’µ for the task ahead…
Win at ALL COST and head to court (VAR)..
Such a shame….
I remember one of the off-cycled Election that Brought Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo of Anambra State in, all the participants engaged twice in a public debates where the entire Anambra people tuned in to watch.
Whether they would gone ahead to implement all they had said they would do is a talk for another day..
It only shows afterall that they believed in the power of the electorates to choose whom to govern them.
In Imo, Bayelsa and Kogi….. Did you see any of such?
What happened in Imo state in particular, does it in any way show that VOTING actually matters in Nigeria or that Electoral laws are being adhered to in Nigeria 🇳🇬?
CAPITAL NO…..
EDO state election is coming….. Is anyone in anyway hoping to see the candidates engage in any robust debate?
The campaigns would be about money and violence….
The one with the highest and dangerous thugs would win… Head to the VAR AFTERWARDS.
How did Nigeria get to this level?
Tinubu Must have done all he did and manoeuvred the entire systems both locally and internationally but a faulty foundation cannot stand..
The repercussions for all those illegalities are what’s playing out now.
It was Bishop Onah who Spoke Truth to Power after warning Nigerians of a possible One party State (video) that insisted that, no matter the rascality of how the Judiciary forced the current government on Nigerians, majority of Nigerians know who actually won the presidential election.
Did you see the joy from Abia State voters when Prof. Nnenna oti pronounced Alex Otti Governor of Abia state?
The joy was organic….
Not everyone voted for Alex Otti but the majority did which would certainly show from the optics.
You wouldn’t say that in Most of other states in Nigeria where Judiciary became the VAR….
It has come to that stage in Nigeria where winners of elections are going to be decided in the Court but not the electorates any further.
The Judiciary should rather replace the INEC…..
It doesn’t matter whom ever Nigerians vote going further but whom the powers that be wish to install…
It’s finished….
To your tent Oh Nigerians….!!!
From Democracy to JUDIcracy…
Nonsense and ingredients.
