The 1st of April 2015 was a historical day for me. For the first time in the post-military history of Nigeria, PDP was no longer in power. Whilst i have limited information on the agenda of the APC and their president-elect, i had the following response to a friend of mine who cautioned wisely that the devil we know may be better than the devil we don't know. Two things, number one when i was in high school in Nigeria, i remember we had to vote for prefects, some of them had been assistant prefects before. One particular notoriously mean girl used the slogan, the devil you know is better than the angel you don't know. The outcome was that everyone voted for her. Long story short, it turned out that the devil we knew could get even worse, especially when they knew they could be in power irrespective of their wickedness (or in President Jonathan's case, complacency and insensitivity to the plight of millions of human beings). That brings me to my second point, the only reason i was so glad that APC and not PDP won, is that it shows that no one candidate or one party should expect to rule forever, each one has an alloted amount of time in which to use their power wisely or be voted out by the people (or rigging by an opposition party). Whatever the case, i think the fact that an incumbent lost to the opposition for the first time in Nigeria's history sends a message to politicians that you can't just do whatever you like and expect to be re-elected, you have to work for the people in order to earn their votes. #Thasall Whilst it remains to be seen what Buhari's government will do, I am cautiously optimistic that it will be better than what the incumbent did. I hope he has the wisdom to find the right technocrats to move Nigeria forward. I hope that the change they promised will be delivered and for the betterment of the majority. Maybe we will be that turning point generation afterall. Maybe, we'd use generators only a few hours in a week? Maybe commercial agriculture will become a major sector in the economy. Maybe Made in Nigeria will be a thing again? Maybe we will see the type of change that a man like Thomas Sankara brought to his nation or maybe i am hoping for too much.
