NIGERIA NEED A MIRACLE THAT WILL BE ORCHESTRATED BY PURPOSE

Less than 300 days to the much anticipated election. This will be the 4th time I am writing particularly about FELA and his political adventure. In Yoruba land, they say; if a blacksmith is hammering a metal at one point repeatedly, there is something he wants to bring out.

Today, I want to advise FELA again.

I have followed you critically and being my type of person, I don't like to praise just to get excited. I know you have this vibe and territorial goodwill required to ignite strong motivation, but I tell you, what you enjoy within that your network is just a fraction too little compare to what is needed. You cannot go far enough with the strategic counsels of your proteges and those you have mentored all along.

They won't be able to face you with the difficult truth. They will hail every of your plans and ideas. They have always seen you as a better person and won't be able to fault your strategies to your face. This thing you just entered is no longer the business you have done all your life. Maybe you are making waves in Lagos I don't know. But Bro. You are not making here in Abuja o. And that Lagos sef is still politically in the pocket of one man who either we like it or not have paid his dues over the years.

In my previous writes, I said you were delaying strategies in turning your brand into a mass grassroots movement and that we have no time. Some of your proteges reached out to me and said I shouldn't bother that you had plans. Maybe you still have those plans but I have watched your games thereafter and nothing has changed except for your visit to a network of your friend's friends which you call town hall meetings in few cities.

Again, let me say this; Nigeria need a miracle that will be orchestrated by purpose. The speeches you are still giving aren't yet different from those you have been giving for money as a Coach. Fantastic speeches. But those speeches won't win my mother in the village or those everyday agbero and danfo drivers in Lagos or the very Igbo man or Hausa boy all of who constitute the voting community in Nigeria as of today.

My advice for the immediate time.

1. Constitute a new Think-tank away from your regular network. Raw people who don't know you as that Reverend Father and are bit experience in Nigeria political frameworks.

2. I think you should visit Abuja to have a time out with some tough minded young activists who never applied any of your teachings but have carved a niche for themselves. These guys will help you get a little uncomfortable but will sure advance your game.

3. I think you should be more Nigerian in your approach. You cannot win a Local Government elections in Nigeria if you play Obama political game.

4. Bros. You have to first think "winning" before "changing" because your dreams of a new Nigeria cannot happen if you are not on the table calling the shots. Let us first win. Do the Nigeria politics and win. When you win, you can now change it to Ghana or US OR China politics.

5. Finally, please do your prayers personally and with your team. Electioneering has got process and God love people who give their best judging that they don't claim to know it all.

For me. You are still my candidate among the standing options. But what difference does that make if I can't advice you.
