Nigeria conducted her Presidential election amidst so much chaos in the country. It has actually been one week since the election was conducted and just as expected, it was nothing short of a farce.
People came out to vote for their choice but the corrupt system had other ideas. However, unlike the past, people are wiser now and there's been a backlash.
Well, there's only so much complaining and agitating can achieve. An actionable plan and proper decisions are required to actually do anything worthy of note in the country's electoral process.
Right now, what we do know is that the case is in court and the politicians will battle it out with their expensive lawyers. I have very little faith in our judicial system, so I know the truth will eventually be suppressed and we'll end up with some bullshit ruling.
The one thing we can confirm after this election is that there's no system that can't be corrupted in Nigeria. It's not like we ever trusted the process but at least now we know for sure that the incompetence and rot run so deep that a body that's supposed to be neutral picked a side.
It sort of makes you wonder what kind of aberration of justice we'll end up getting in court. In any case, we'll just continue hoping for the best as we follow the case.
Naira is back
The Naira scarcity still persists but the information we got yesterday was that the old notes that were supposed to be cancelled can now be used as legal tender until the 31st of December. So, this means that the entire exercise was completely futile.
How can a government just tinker and play with the lives of its citizens like this? It is so frustrating to live under these circumstances, particularly because it is being done by individuals who are void of any level of integrity and will never accept their responsibilities because they're always blaming others.
I didn't have any intentions to rant in this publication but it is really hard not to rant when Nigeria is concerned. We keep going further into the depths of despair and discovering new lows that I didn't even know existed,
I don't know how this will impact the exchange rate but in the past couple of days, Naira has been gaining on the dollar. I don't know how long this will last and with all the craziness surrounding the election, I have a feeling Naira is eventually going to take a beating. Time will tell.
