I no reach? The whole country is<br/>currently agog with political rallies<br/>everywhere. Most Politicians/magicians are<br/>out with their jack knives, long spoons, guns<br/>and God knows what. As I lament over our<br/>obnoxious predicament, the phone rings, my<br/>uncle Chief OgbuaguUzukwuNsofor<br/>summoning me to his house. Unano go<br/>believe weytin we yarn! He called me to ask<br/>me to join politics and campaign for a<br/>political position. Haba! Me? Like how, for<br/>where? Who die? Kai! Tufiakwa was my<br/>immediate response.<br/>Why will I want to join the bandwagon of<br/>thieves and criminals with no pedigree or<br/>honour? But he went on to extoll all the good<br/>virtues that he believed that I had which he<br/>said was badly needed in the political arena of<br/>today. He said I was transparent, honest and<br/>dedicated to service so he was sure that I<br/>wouldn't get into politics to steal from the<br/>people. Of course I had a good laugh, but as<br/>soon as I got back to my hotel room, it left<br/>me thinking deeply.<br/>If the few men with integrity, honour and<br/>virtue avoid getting into politics because the<br/>arena is clogged with thieves and criminals<br/>who have no value for the honour in their<br/>words or their pledge to the people then how<br/>will Nigeria ever get better!! Biko tell me.<br/>Because the scammers, riffraffs, 419ers and<br/>those who are drunk on ripping off our<br/>treasury can never let go without drawing<br/>blood. God, are you sleeping sef ? Why do the<br/>vile and evil amongst us get away with<br/>murder?<br/>That night I got no sleep, I kept tossing and<br/>pondering and the answers I kept getting was<br/>why not, if not? Dem get two heads? Why<br/>shouldn't I delve into politics and create this<br/>change I have so badly advocated for since I<br/>became Charlyboy. After all, if change must<br/>come, the agents of change must be at the<br/>fore front of the struggle. It is not enough to<br/>be an armchair critic. If people like Fashola<br/>can make Lagos work irrespective of how<br/>diverse Lagos is and the known and unknown<br/>challenges he faces in the hands of the<br/>shylocks, then I Charles Oputa can do the<br/>same? Or can’t I?<br/>If it is aboutgragra , I have some measure of<br/>street in me to play, if it's about<br/>qualifications, I'm more than qualified based<br/>on the constitution of the country and of<br/>course you know my pedigree is<br/>unquestionable so why can't I vie for a<br/>political position?<br/>See me see matter, my thoughts began to run<br/>wild strategizing my plans, what party is<br/>credible enough for me to campaign under,<br/>what position do I want to serve in? How do I<br/>build a reputable team to work with? My mind<br/>was racing, my heart beating faster and faster,<br/>because in this game, it's do or die. I don't<br/>mind the dying but can I deal with the doing?<br/>Odiofele?<br/>All this strategizing is draining me mentally<br/>and emotionally. How can this change be<br/>actualized? All this thoughts are making me<br/>think about my father. I'm missing him badly<br/>and I wonder, if Justice ChukwudifuOputa was<br/>still alive, can he ever delve into politic as one<br/>of those change agents we need to steer this<br/>nation forward? I can categorically tell you<br/>that the answer will be, HELL NO! Knowing<br/>him, I know he would not want to mess with<br/>meddling into the murky waters that flows in<br/>our politics of today. But me, Charlyboy, am I<br/>not rugged enough to deal with some of these<br/>mother f..king assholes? After all a few<br/>Governors and ministers have experienced the<br/>soar taste of Charlyboy when they crossed the<br/>line, nonsense! I send dem?<br/>Don't get me wrong, not everyone in politics is<br/>corrupt, there are a few insignificant minority<br/>who are honourably serving the people they<br/>pledged to serve on the platform they have<br/>chosen, however their efforts get swallowed up<br/>by all the corrupt majority.<br/>My recent trip to Abia state was as a result of<br/>my conviction of one of these few good people<br/>who have made money through hard-work and<br/>now wants to serve his people in Abia state by<br/>aspiring to become the governor of the state.<br/>I'm talking of Dr. Alex Otti, former group<br/>manager and CEO of Diamond bank. For the<br/>first time ever, I saw myself standing behind<br/>someone I had faith in, someone who in my<br/>heart I believe could make a difference if given<br/>the opportunity, but he appears too much of a<br/>gentleman. And my question is, can he deal<br/>with some funny characters and charlatans<br/>already in the system?<br/>An ethical line has been crossed by our yahoo<br/>yahoo leaders. Governments can’t act freely<br/>without lying and democracy can’t function in<br/>this neck of the woods, sorry, we are not that<br/>sophisticated in our thoughts or mindset. Our<br/>trust in politicians has been damaged, over<br/>the years. Poverty and fear has weakened our<br/>resolve to build a better environment for our<br/>children. We no longer care about how we’re<br/>governed. Politicians and corruption continues<br/>unchecked. They are all interested in winning<br/>this election by hook or by crook, what<br/>happens after May 2015, what kind of Nigeria<br/>and Nigerians will they lead? For sure the<br/>violence after May 2015 will make Boko<br/>Haram look like child's play, because boys are<br/>angry, and for those whose duties are to<br/>protect lives and properties of the common<br/>man have failed because they couldn't<br/>careless, must know that even their protection<br/>with all the brigade of security operatives can<br/>never be guaranteed, they will be like sitting<br/>ducks, when the shit hits the fan.<br/>About my ambition in running for a political<br/>position? I believe I have always been involved<br/>in the politics of change. Showing young<br/>Nigerians that values like, hard work, honesty,<br/>focus, consistency, and believe in self are not<br/>outdated. They are the same qualities that<br/>have brought me this far. I thank God that I<br/>have directly or indirectly affected the lives of<br/>millions and will continue to do so, so why me<br/>and yeye yahoo yahoo area boys go deygo<br/>struggle anything. My tenacity, is positively<br/>affecting millions of Nigerian youths, can we<br/>say that much for most of our leaders? God<br/>punish Satan. Nonsense!
