GEJ: We’ve been buying, selling votes since 1960

President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday said that there had not been any free and fair elections in
the country since Nigeria’s independence in 1960, as what had been happening since then was that
people have been “buying and selling votes.”

Jonathan, however asked Nigerians especially the youths not to allow anybody to buy their votes
during the forth coming elections as this would not be allowed to continue. .

He spoke at Abakaliki, the Ebonyi State capital, while addressing a large crowd of party supporters at the Abakaliki Township Stadium in
the course of his nationwide wide campaign.

Jonathan who is also, the presidential candidate of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, wished that he would live to see a woman emerge as the president and as a governor in the country, pointing out that this was the major reason he had deliberately appointed women into prominent
positions to expose and prepare them for greater challenges ahead.

Almost every practitioner, if not all have had Ifa initiation, even those who are not practitioners find themselves initiated for a convinced reason known to them. However, some IFA initiates raise their respective voice, lamenting​ why their initiation is futile, no improvement, no progress or whatsoever of any sorts.  Despite the assurance of being wealthy (or any desire) after initiation, everything seems to remain stagnant, some even went from bad to worse. Some even have abandoned Ifa because of this unfortunate reasons. While experiencing​ this, numerous questions pop up in mind; among are: why is this itẹlodu not effective? why is IFA initiation overrated? Why are my problems not solved yet despite what IFA
