In situations like this, it is obvious that Nigerian democracy is quasi and upturned to the extent that the people which makes up the government do not count. A position as a Julian as the presidential seat is no small feat. Those needs a personality with a scalable and realistic agenda to fill. Issues concerning a state involves high level thought, progress, policies, walkable and democratic structures and above all a leader ready to bear the aforementioned as their obligation. What Nigerian needs at this critical stage of existence is a leader who is capable of dragging it out of the dungeons of a current existence to a place where it can sustain herself and implement her national and foreign policies as key players on what stage. Political parties should not be carried away by the over monetizing of seals or forms for political aspirants. Rather emphasis should be made on seeking aspirants who can understand and promote their values and ideologies for all run national development based on their respective antecedents or past achievements including professional and social credentials. Because not everyone can and should be presidential or even a political aspirant. Regardless of the several politicking parodying the forthcoming 23 general election the following are some of the issues that should be paramount and not to be seen as a common manifesto but as a responsibility. Tackling insecurity, addressing inflation, investing in educational system, revamping the healthcare system, encouraging foreign investments, supporting local small and medium scale enterprise with good policies, enhancing transportation system and food security. These aforementioned issues are non-partisan and affect everyone regardless of their parochial or political identities. The end point of any political process should profile sustainable solution to them. In conclusion, as political parties prepare for their primaries and the nation with in anticipation, let us meditate on this word of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 34th US president. The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all. Here we are again. We've said so much about the monetization of various forms and values and what we should expect political processes in this forthcoming 23 general election. This week we will determine the flag bearers of boots while political parties will determine the flag bearers so what does the future holds for Nigeria's? The election is not different from any other election we had in Nigeria. So what we need to do is to, we say have the old people, the old sets of people, the same people. No, we need, I don't know, there was a time, somebody was talking about bringing in a young person and even today we see that the youth are not even ready to support that young person. Like Mr Tolu mentioned that Nigerians are not ready. We're not ready because the same people, the same old people, the same old policies and it's just like a recycle of the same old need that we had. We're not ready. I think what you mentioned about the fact that these issues, insecurity, inflation, education, healthcare, these are not supposed to just become a political mantra for politicians. These are real issues we're faced with. It's not in those days when you come out and say part of your campaign, words are, I'm going to provide you with good roads or provide you with education just so that people will, these are real issues that we're faced with. On the back of that it's important that as we begin to question the aspirants, we need to drill down, ask them real questioners on how they'll be able to address these issues that are facing us because it's not just one Nigerian that is facing it or it's just a selected few. There was a time it used to be just a selected few but now it has extended beyond the selected few. It's across the nation. Everyone can, one way or the other, at least I've heard or either I have heard it is a victim, has known a victim or has a victim in his family that has faced one or more of these issues. So these are real issues that we're faced with as Nigerians. These are the questions that we need to begin to ask these guys to know how well they will address it as they vie for these political positions. You know, I saw a video on Twitter and I think it was a Sean Wooloo food project somewhere around Owaranshoki and those Owaranshoki boys aren't smiling. It just came out and they destroyed the canopy, everything, and they're saying, you know, it was a woman that was presiding the whole thing and I think they would have beat up if it was a man. So they probably just gave her that respect because she was a woman but they had to scatter all the umbrellas and they kept shouting, we don't need any food this time around. No food, don't give us food. You know, take your colours, we're not hungry. I mean these are like roadside people you know, the regular towns and all. And for me it's a good light, it's a good information. I mean, of course like Ruth said, we're beginning to come up from that learned, in fact we're already in learned helplessness where you just get into that space, they tell you we're going to fix the road, we're going to give you electricity but you've heard that it's not like cock-and-boost stuff and then you're beginning to now come out of learned helplessness and say, you know what, I'm going to start doing something in my own space but it still boils down to what Touloud always keeps saying, I think, and it has also said that on the show is values, right? When you say, I'm not after young people getting into power, it's not about young people, old people, it's about having the person with the right frame of mind. The person could be 60, I don't care. Right, so, I mean we all know that before you get into the polity, it takes a lot of huddles to climb. I mean, I can't just get into the polity and say I'm vying for the president except I just want to joke around, right? So, it takes a lot of huddle and if we're going to get a chance at the seat, that's supposedly we young people that believe that we can make a difference. I think we have to start like immediately, you know, getting involved at grassroots, you know, local level and this is me saying it openly. I mean in these coming elections, I'm probably going to, I'm not running. But I'm probably going to get involved more often, you know, get attached to a party, understand how it's done, just get, understand the process flow really. I'm going to get, I mean, I reside in Yabast, I'm just going to get involved in the whole Yabast stuff, understand what's going on there, how are they getting the local government, what's the process, asking questions. That's like my first shot at understanding what's happening. Maybe by next four years I'll get, you know, a bit deeper into it but I just want to understand how this thing works because my own way of saying I want to start paying attention to things like this. That's good. For me, I would say politics should not distract governance. We need good governance to fix this problem. So, when they are talking about manifestos, manifestos are not just sweet talk, we in us, we are not we in us. It's not a romance scene. We are not in any business. So, let's find how to get people that will approve principles of good governance to solve the problem. All right. We thank you for your attention and the programme lasted.
