I hope his visit will give Nigeria's political/electoral process some relief
I hope so too. They really need such relief.
ReplyDelete88% waste of time. Even if Jesus comes to address Nigeria on this, what they will do is what must be done. They've made up already.
ReplyDeleteDon't I just love kofi Annan, the former Secretary General of the United Nations .
ReplyDeleteNo wonder he has bagged a Nobel peace price
I hope this aim and objective of the conference will confer a peaceful electoral process.

ReplyDeleteI hope so too,the election shuld come n go self!the drama don too much btwn PDP n APC
ReplyDeleteStellonzo, his visit wil not give any relief to election or political process because corruption has eaten deep into d fabric of our society, it is very hard for any election to be free and fair here without any magomago, it will be difficult to see change in nigeria because most Nigerians dnt want change, forget the government now, there are ppl who hold this country to a ransom. As simple as having stable electricity in Nigeria, there are ppl who have the contracts to supply generators to d country nd who own refineries and they feel they would lose if there's stable electricity in d country cos they wnt b able to supply generator or fuel.. Some Nigerians are d reason we are backward and they dnt want change because of what they are benefiting, their own selfish reasons
ReplyDeleteI hope so too.
ReplyDeleteSecurity and sustainable development is much needed in our dear country.
ReplyDeleteThey should listen and I hope this helps atleast..
His visit will not change anything,the heat will be too much for him to handle
ReplyDeletethe heart of out politicians are filled with bitterness and at this time in our nation; all God can save us; but sir you are highly welcome; but doubt if they will heed to your advice
ReplyDeleteI just love Mr Kofi Annan
ReplyDeleteFather Lord let his visit not be a wasted effort
