wHaT iT iS????

Politics has never been my plate of coookies...(i luv cookies)but this time round i need to be informed...i am among the millions of youth that the aspirants are trying to "wooo.." with promises that smelll of ROSES.... The key issue that has really captured my atttention is the issue of "MAJIMBO.." I took it upon myself to try and understand what exactly MaJiMBo means,why i should vote FOR or AGAINST IT...!!
So for starters i asked wht is MAJIMBO? The answer can be either of the below depending on which side of poltical divide U stand :-
1)Regionalism
2)Federalism
3)Ethnic Balkanization
After getting the three above answers i decided to interpret them deeper...
REGIONALISM:- Which is the theory or practice of regional rather than central systems of administration or economic, cultural, or political affiliation OR a peculiar to a particular region and not part of the standard language of a country.(as per my oxford dictonary) BuT on the political scene it simply means the pResiDent won't be enjoying CeNtralized powers he will be more like a PuPPet(this are the under tones that echo this political theory)
FEDERALISM:- Which simply means having or relating to a system of government in which several states form a unity but remain independent in internal affairs(as per my oxford dictonary).BuT on the Political scene again it simply means JiMbOs which the very people campainging for it Banished it in the early 1960.Why the DoUbLe stanDards now?
ETHNIC BALKANIZATION:- Which is the divide (a region or body) into smaller mutually HosTiLE states or groups.(once again as per my oxford dictonary)BuT on the Political Scene it is simply interpreted as Members from One TrIBe that don't have their RoOts on the PaRticUlar grounds theY are OccUping will siMply Have to vacate n Move BaCk to theIr Mother GrOund/oRiGins!!...(this are the undertones that are echoing this defination by aspiring politicans while on the podiums)
I am a CoSmOpOlitant YoUth n thounds of others...who shall be vOting this Year..why are we been draggged back to TriBalisM????My fellow YoUTh lets shun away from TriBaLisM n VoTe on grounds of MeRit... We are the HR maNaGers of the 10th PaRliaMent.. lets Look at the SkILLs and QuaLifiCations of all AsPiraNts and employ theM strictly on MeRiT.. ArE we in AgReeMent?
