A brave new world

I watch the news daily, waiting to see the new development over night as the Middle East revolt against current system of governance, from Tunisia to Egypt and now Libya. All the uprising happening in the region would make a lot of other countries running similar system of governance, begin to worry. I personally think it is about time for change in that part of the world. Which brings me back to my favourite topic, Nigeria, is there any chance something like this happening? A revolt in the north of Nigeria, where the Islamic fundamentalists have a huge influence. And use their religion as a form of intimidation against Nigerians, who are not Muslims.

The burning of churches and the attack of non Muslims has always happened in the north of Nigeria over many years, it is nothing new at all from the 1980`s all the way to present, it has always happened, the current elections happening in is a step forward but with all the political manoeuvres that has happened it is becoming clear that there is in fact a religious element to the selection of candidates. It could be said that is a simplistic view of the situation on the ground concerning the Nigerian issue. So if ever there could be a revolt, would it be against the leaders who over the years propagated this system of using religion as a means of selecting the leaders from the north, or would be a revolt of the poor against the leaders that have failed them in the last fifty years.

 For me I think the future is bright for Nigeria and maybe there is a chance a different kind of revolt would happen, a revolt where the young who are fed up with the status of development of Nigeria, most especially in the north of the country, they would decide to participate in the political process and change the way the way thing are done in that part of the country, by keeping state separate from religion and make a step forward to a more democratic nation. I say good luck to all as you all go to the pole to vote and hope we can bring into the next century a brave new world of which we could be all proud of as Nigerians.

Motor show at excel 2006

The motor show at London docklands excel was a collection of new cars, concept design and all the new innovation in car safety on display; I was very impressed with the safety aspect of the French manufacturer Renault . This motor show had a collection of cars worth about £10 million, which in my opinion was not enough with the apparent absent of was some manufacturers of big super cars such as Ferrari, but still there was a decent collection of cars on display.   One of the showstoppers for me was the new Cadillac Escalade 2007 it looked slick and a bit longer than the older models, the interior was awash with the latest gargets needed to get around in your very own sitting room on wheels, as we well know the American manufacturers have the best in technology and comfort build into their cars, and here in this show the American car manufacturers made a impressive showing of the muscle they can muster.
