This MARCH, we're MARCHING to our ELECTORAL Freedom!

In 30 days, we start the real electoral rights of Nigeria's democracy. We go to the vote! This is not our first time, dammit, it is the one time we hinge our hopes so strongly, so expectantly, so assuredly, on the final rites of passage: One Man One Vote! 2011 General Elections.

My firm belief is that this be our MARCH to our very own ELECTORAL Freedom! This March. All this efforts and effusions of the voters' registration exercise will pay us huge dividends soon. Very soon.

Prepare people, prepare. Pray, the jinx is in trouble - no, in its final throes. With the modified open ballot system, all them blighters are in trouble - no hiding place anymore. You need to be ultra demonic, mega desperate and, shall we say, utterly degenerate to want to dare the voters' vigil.

As March 2011 proceeds, we MARCH towards our FREEDOM. The freedom of the VOTE.

Dear MARCH, what a F-R-E-E-D-O-M!

VOTER-REGISTRATION Progress

I am not losing sleep over the ongoing voter-registration exercise. It will be ultra-successful.

We should be grateful that it didn’t take-off smoothly. The hitches and hiccups were a salutary baptism of fire for us all. And I love it!

Lessons: INEC now knows better. Take nothing on face value; take nothing for granted. Nigerians now know better. We have a role, crucial role to play, in this democracy. Register. Vote. Protect your franchise. Defend your vote.

Forecast: We will be proud, very proud, of the NYSC Members deployed for this momentous and monumental project. We will applaud and reward their service, and their patriotism.

Interim Laugh: I wonder how The “Great” Iwu feels right now!

Last Line: This INEC and Nigerians will succeed this 2011. No matter the odds.
