1. The corruption in Nigeria is systemic! Its already a culture! Before you boast of a sudden change, try to know the exact situation and status of things. Your Manifesto can manifest your incompetence.
2. That you are a strong opposition does not mean you know how to fix the country. Speaking hard at those on stage is different from speaking from the stage. If you perform well, claps will come. Don’t force us.
3. Get politicians to do the jobs of politicians. Get experts to do the jobs of high expertise & governance that needs high level expertise. Put square pegs in square holes.
4. Watch out for political candidates who run away from debates, trips off the question and give a wrong answer the second time! They are time bombs!
5. The Nigerian political class is older and stronger than the president. They silence the rule of law and any president that has a need.
6. Immediately you have a second term ambition, you are half-caught in their web. You either align or park well.
7. The Rule says “Routinely clear your rear guard” of rebellion. The more you avoid it, the more nepotic and compromised you become.
8. Until big thieves get big jail terms in Nigeria, corruption will continue to make sense to the poor. Nigerians hate long jail terms.
9. Your propaganda & buck-passing can continue to deceive some of the people all of the time, all of the people some of the time. You definitely cannot deceive all the people all of the time.
10. The more your excuses, the less your achievements. For the average Nigerian, the excuses are stories for the gods- Even some gods hate excuses!
11. Nigeria is looking for a leader- not a slow or incompetent man, not a man without integrity, not a man that is not aware and not a man that is not in a hurry to do anything.
12. A political party is already sick when it calls every scientific data, a lie, when it calls global entrepreneurs an opposition and apolitical experts are running away from honouring or fixing the nation.
13. Immediately you don’t honestly confront all illegal killings of your citizens as a leader or you respond sluggishly to it by failing to bring the culprits to book, your place before your citizens is already lost. Stop looking for it.
14. Corruption has existed from time immemorial. So leave the story. The inaction of your predecessor should be your shining edge-Not your poem. Have a plan. Face your work, fix the nation and pass your buck to your dog. No condition is permanent!
