 It has been days after the highly charged 2015 election between President Goodluck Jonathan and General Buhari in Nigeria. It was very intriguing and I had been very philosophical about the fundamentals on how the whole game played out. I could not vote as I never got my permanent voters card despite over twenty attempts (not kidding) of checking different levels of INEC offices to get the card. I am also not affiliated to any political party directly or indirectly. However, there are hard facts about the message or the “gospel” of this election that I will like to share.

1. THE MORNING WILL COME.

There will always be a time of reckoning or conclusion to all our efforts. It’s always good to ask – where will this end? What will be the result of my efforts? I believe the Nigerian 2015 election was a direct referendum on President Jonathan’s performance. He tried but the fact remains that the atmosphere largely felt like a lot more could have been done. For the General, I remember the scripture that says Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. A life that does not have  or consistently follow clearly defined goals will always struggle. This man followed his dream and failed three times but kept at it and now its history.

2. FOCUS

I have never seen so much vituperation and foul language used in any electoral contest. This one was A+ when it came to that level of despicable behavior. Some borders were crossed by both parties that were extreme! Mudslinging and abuse reigned by agents of both parties. However, I observed that General Buhari kept his words few and kept his focus. Focus matters! Focus turns ordinary rivers to waterfalls to develop power to carve out mountains. Stick to the game plan. If you are sure that it is God’s plan for you – stick to the game plan!

3.  NO CONDITION IS PERMANENT.
