BACKGROUND TO THE FUNCTIONS

By Tony Wajama

The Millennium Development Goals is a policy made by a group of developed communities in order to promote the relegated face of our economic, social and political status to the level of quality advancement. The use of thuggery during elections has rampaged the little development which has been achieved through this policy.

The policy on its own is useless without the right framework to execute it at the right time and in the right place. The process of electing, these leaders into the various political offices has been a major problem we are facing in Nigeria in general and in Oshimili local government, in particular due to the nature and practice of politics in these areas with great demand, and threat on the innocent citizens to comply with the game of rigging.

Before the advent of political thuggery Nigerians have been conducting unsuccessful elections with response to rigging and other electoral, misconduct.

It must be put into cognizance that no policy and true development which will promote our socio-cultural, economic and political values will take place without giving the citizens the right privilege and practical right to vote for the person they feel best to lead them and also control the use of political thuggery through more ‘’iron hands’’

The millennium development goals policy will work for Nigeria, Delta  State and Oshimili local government area if only the federal, state and local government, should take security on the priority of their agenda during and after election for this insecurity, has caused a lot of human and material damages, to our society as a whole.

We could have complimented this massive silent, and open murder if we are practicing the military systems of government where legal and illegal force is used without questions.

But to think of this barbaric and disputations, act of so called bloody armed civilians who act as military men under the core of democracy is a political sympathetic discord .On this note, I referred to our democracy,  a tyrant democracy that is force and unity.

There is need to work hard towards the practice of real democracy whereby these will be an atmosphere of free and fair  election that will enhance the implementation of policies including the millennium development goal policy among other which will result to true development (Bottom-top) and changes our identity from being in state  of under developed country instead of being a  state  developed in the countries  among others.

The millennium development goal are series of eight time bound goals that seek to address the issue of poverty, education, gender quality, health and the environment among others to be achieved with a unified agreement by the international community at the United Nations Millennium submit, held in New York on 8th September, 2000 within a specific time frame (2015 till date) programme to enhance development but the political nature (instability) and politics in the State  with the use of thugs/rigging  stand as an obstacle to the achievement of these goals since  1999 in Delta State  which the outcome, will produce a historical landmark development; as such, the government should do all they could to eliminate the use of political thuggery and rigging during before and after elections in Nigeria and in Delta State precisely.
   
 STATEMENT OF FACT
        Ordinarily, the Millennium Development Goals policy is to eradicate poverty which is the central focus of the policy and along side improve the quality of education, health and improve agriculture, through modern farming but the use of thugs in determining who gets what, when and how (political office and power) has reduced the effective implementation of this policy at grass-root level which has also affected the national implementation process.

Furthermore, equitable men who are mentally morally, socially, and politically advanced who supposed, to be elected to execute this policy are avoided and neglected without reason since they are hard to crack or they are  openly killed without questions, security and government intervention while those that shall remain stagnant or dormant in the office without carrying out these duties are giving Commissioners,Special Advisers ,Special Assistance or Personal Assistance.

They are there just to occupy the sit but busy enriching their pocket and selling out projects on sale to make more money.

All aggrieved pray without season that come 2019 ,the Table of Political Leadership must turn around for the better.Please can anyone find out from Delta State Person in charge of The New Millennium Development Goal (NMDG) what he has done especially for his people Ndi-Allah ,what Government presence has he motivated and introduced in his Community ?

The time is running fast and the tenure will end when all shall come give account of Community total negligence or Community total selfless services to humanity.It's either a good political leader is always welcomed and celebrated or a bad political leader is disdained and avoided by his people.

Una do wellooo ooooooo .....
