"NIGERIA IN 2013:ALL EYES ON THE ONLY POLITICAL PRIZE IN THE LAND ITS PRESIDENCY"

If Nigeria as a nation is truly working for all Nigerians in all reality as many Nigerians deceptively believed by pretending that all is well with their beloved nation. Why is every geopolitical zone and every major ethnic nationality today are all busy holding nocturnal meetings, forming political alliances, militants groups with political undertones and advocating for a President of Nigeria of an Igbo origin, an Ijaw root, a Southern Nigerian background, a South-South geopolitical zone, a Northern Nigeria extraction, a Muslim by faith and a Christian by religion? The Presidency of Nigeria is now fully based on the turn by turn basis that is not in the Nigerian 1999 constitution and never on meritocracy, leadership qualities, managerial abilities and sound political-economic visions for Nigeria. I see a political resolution in the convening of the much-needed Sovereign National Conference shortly.

As the all-important election year of 2015 draws closer in Nigeria in the midst of the highly divisive and explosive threats that are coming almost every day from the South-South region that produces the nation's oil wealth over President Jonathan Goodluck's political ambition to rule Nigeria for another term by all means and at all cost plus the deep division in the PDP and the desire of the Northern Nigerian political class to have the presidency back in the North in 2015. I see a major political crisis on the horizon in Nigeria that may finally forced all Nigerians to hold the much needed Sovereign National Conference in a political marriage that has failed to work since 1914 to date.

The convening of the much-needed Sovereign National Conference of her ethnic nationalities is bigger that the presidency of Nigeria or Jonathan Goodluck, the present occupier of this seat. The political situation in Nigeria as they unfold gradually with time will eventually make this conference inevitable and unavoidable if that nation will survive. Nigerians are poor students of their own recent history. They have forgotten that the political crisis in Nigeria in the 1960s that almost tore Nigeria apart made the Aburi Conference in Ghana inevitable and the final outcome from that conference was to implement the political system of confederacy or regional autonomy which the then military dictator of Nigeria, General Yakubu Gowon refused to implement when he returned to Nigeria from Ghana. Another history is about to repeat itself shortly in Nigeria because we have refused as a nation to learn from our bitter past history.
