The 2014 General elections are around the corner and this time, the 2 most prominent figures are the incumbent president from the PDP named Jonathan Ebele Goodluck while the second is in a fast growing opposition party called APC and his name is Muhammadu Buhari, a retired army general and former head of state.The election is going to be conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC) and the current chairman is Attahiru Jega. He was the same chairman that was in charge of the commission in the 2011 elections during which Jonathan won against Buhari.There is something I noticed about his name that seems to be a blessing for the incumbent president. His name is like an acronym for Jonathan Ebele Goodluck Again. This made me thinking that if JEGA still remains the Chairman for 2015, it is probably a sign that Jonathan Ebele Goodluck will win again.How will he win? Are the elections going to be rigged? Not necessarily but it just seems that the gods are still on his side. It's very hard for modern day elections in Nigeria to be rigged given the way election tribunals have handled such cases positively in the past, the alertness of election observers and the growing number of people willing to vote during elections in Nigeria. Elections are unlikely to be rigged if people come out massively to vote and people are sure to come out in their numbers this year.So, when I sort of say that JEGA means Jonathan Ebele Goodluck again, I'm not talking about rigging but about the kind of positive energy it sort of gives to likelihood that he will win again just like he did in 2015 as the name JEGA seems like a positive sign or pointer that Good luck remains with the incumbent president of Nigeria.Also, Buhari and the APC has not really done much in telling Nigerians what they're planning to do other than mostly focusing on failures or perceived failures of Jonathan. They've also been avoiding public debates on TV. The odds just seem to be favouring the incumbent president who is seen as non-talkative but active president that Nigeria needs.
