RE: Nigeria and the coming 2019 elections... Who will get your vote in 2019? Pt 3

in #politics6 years ago (edited)

Here's my decision matrix for you, the Nigerian voter:

  • Perry Brimah looks the most sympathetic of the bunch. Runner up is Atiku Abubakar. There's nothing better than a good smile - but then again, it's politics. Perhaps staying away from that is better for the two.
  • On the other end of that spectrum there would be Adamu Garba. He's definitively not the guy to buy a used car from.
  • Omoyele Sowore is aging too fast, so he's out as well. (And besides, the lower half of his face looks exactly like the one of Tiger Woods, a notorious womanizer, so: Hands off!)
  • Thomas Ikubese looks intelligent. Not sure though if this holds up with his glasses off.
  • Mohammed Buhari doesn't even look intelligent with glasses on.
  • The plus for Sule Lamido is that he reminds me of a rich uncle - which is an advantage if you think of it. But then again, what if he runs out of money for me because he has to give money to everyone as president?
  • In contrast to him, Ayo Fayose kind of seems like he just got out of bed. That could be his hat, but his face looks like he's watching his mom preparing breakfast and he can't wait getting his bowl of cereals.
  • Then we have Bukola Saraki who looks 20% too cool for this job. He's totally out.

This leaves a fight between top hair still there and top hair replaced with shiny skin. Interestingly, all four are wearing very nice suits.

  • Not sure why, but Fela Durotoyes image looks as if it was cut out of a bigger picture. One, on which he's on his knees, holding a big rifle in one hand and the head of a dead tiger in the other.
  • Ahmed Buhari looks like he was the photographer of Durotoyes photo. And who also handled the hunting party and does that kind of thing for money.
  • Obviously, Kingsley Moghalu was on Buharis hunting party, too. But he doesn't approve of the photo taken by Buhari, which explains his look. Could be disgust for killing such an animal as a trophy, or it could be that he thinks Durotoyes might be blackmailed with the picture of him with the rifle+tiger.
  • Last but not least, there is Donald Duke. Donald doesn't care for hunting. He cares more for hair products and thinks he's got it all because of the first name, the alliteration with the last name and everything else he has. What he does not have is a Trump Tower. But give it time..

What's the lesson learned here?

Don't pick your vote based on superficial impressions. Look at the details like competence and integrity.

Given the information @ejemai gave, I'd say the best choice would probably be Kingsley Duke, a non-politician expert with plenty of experience in the mix with a young politician who earned his spurs on lower levels of administration.

But then again, who am I? I'm living in Florida handling problems you would probably smile about having. Anyway: Best of luck with the elections!

This is really educative. Can I make a post with this comment of yours? I like the way you analyzed this and I think more persons have to read and digest it.
The process of elections in Nigeria is really unfair mostly and we end up seeing the very wrong persons taking the lead.
Once again, nice analysis and I was just chuckling.
Stay awesome!

Thanks for the compliments and sure, go ahead!
