WHY DON'T WE EVER LET THE BEST WIN?

The Voice Nigeria was just concluded and a winner emerged and so it is with many reality TV shows but my grouse is if the winners of these reality TV shows are really the best from the competitions.

Many times the unexpected happens and a mediocre winner emerges. A winner most truthful people would vouch did not deserve to win. Are we really letting the best win?
Or are we going with whatever is popular as at the time voting is taking place. Are we going with whatever the majority believes at that point and ignoring truth which is "Is she the best?"
Society is decadent and permit me to say their sense of logic and judgment is blurred. It's only in politics that one can really get truthful and insightful analysis from the majority because everyone including good men are speaking.
People who have no sense of wrong and right can hardly determine a winner based on merit in a competition but then it's not like it's an academic competition anyway so what does it really matter.
The people who regulate and are involved in singing competitions should put on their thinking caps in choosing a winner if not for anything then let it be for the sake of posterity. The criteria for choosing a winner should be potential and strength of cumulative performances.They should make sure the best wins.

THE GAINS AND LOSSES OF THE ABSENCE OF MR PRESIDENT: BY UWAKWE ROLAND.

President Muhammadu Buhari has been absent from duty since the last few months on a purported medical checkup in London. Good a thing he legally transferred power to the Vice President who is now the acting President, this is unlike the imbroglio that played out during Yar’adua’s time when the National Assembly had to invoke the doctrine of necessity so as to effectively transfer power to then Vice President Goodluck Jonathan. The problem is that even as an acting President, Yemi Osinbanjo has limited powers to fully assume responsibility as the commander in chief, this is because most of the big government functionaries may still owe their loyalty to Mr President, couple with this, Buhari appointed people of his like minds who may not comfortably work with the acting President that will want to bring his knowledge of law and practice into governance. Hence the long absence of Mr President may eventually result to a slow down of democratic dividends. The above ...

GETTING MARRIED AND BEING SUCCESSFUL AFTER 30

Many people see the big 3.0 as a landmark age. To them at 30 you should have accomplished all your goals, gotten married and had a few kids. This view although popular is sometimes unhealthy , because real success and achievements take time. Not everyone who is unmarried at 30 will marry late or unaccomplished at 30 is a failure. For short term goals and minimal achievements, 30 is fine. I even read about someone bragging on how she had a masters degree and was married with two kids at 30. The question no one asked her was 'what had she done with the masters degree and how her children were faring academically? ' It's not enough to get married and have kids before 30 or even finish a masters degree? Is she fulfilled as a person? Had she discovered purpose and was she on her way to fulfilling it? You see we all want to brag when it seems as if we better than the next person. Alas! Many of us are ignorant. Many Nigerian billionaires became billionaires only after 30, many ...
