When I  listen to the utterances of Nigerian politicians, I remember the song of one musician, Tony Wilson, entitled, “The Politician Man of Many Words”. In that album, the artist described a politician as ‘a man of many words going to so many places, talking to so many people, and telling so many lies’. Do we continue to accept this as the definition of the Nigerian politician?  The All Progressive Congress, APC, promised the Nigerian electorate several things during the electioneering campaigns. Not even one of the promises has been fulfilled except probably the over celebrated one-sided war on corruption. Even the so called anti-corruption war, the opinion of many is that there is more corruption now than before. The growing feeling is  that this Government might turn out to be the most corrupt in terms of perception. If politicians tell lies to win elections, one expects that after the election, the lies will give way to proper planning and execution of programm...

U.S. Poll: Clinton widens gap

Image
Hillary Clinton has created a 12-point lead over Donald Trump and has reached 50% support nationally among likely voters, a new ABC News tracking poll shows. The poll shows Clinton with 50% support to Trump’s 38%, with 5% backing Libertarian Gary Johnson and 2% supporting the Green Party’s Jill Stein. The poll comes on the heels of the third presidential debate, which a post-debate CNN/ORC snap poll showed Clinton won.  The ABC News survey’s results show Clinton with a 20-point advantage among women, and a 3-point edge with men — a group that has tilted toward Trump for most of the 2016 race. Clinton leads among voters of all education levels — but her 3-point advantage with those without college degrees is smaller than her 20-point lead among voters with college degrees. Conway touts Trump’s ‘drain the swamp’ message, admits ‘we are behind’ Trump’s strongest group remains white, non-college educated voters, who back him 55% to 36%.  The results showing Clinton ...
