Why OLu James Omosule Should be the Nigerian Next President 2015?

My name is Olu James Omosule, and if you
don't know who I am, I would not be surprised.
I am a board member of Scope America
Outreach.
I am also a concerned citizen of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria, deeply
loyal to its progressive democratic
ideals. Those ideals are currently being
threatened. To prevent them, we need
to understand our politics as well as possible. I am
actively involved with current affairs around the
world. I am seeking the office of the President of
the Federal Republic of Nigeria to continue to
strengthen democracy, work towards making
Nigeria a better country for our youth, local
businesses and all citizens. I will offer amazing
infrastructure, excellent schools, affordable
housing and special incentives to encourage
businesses and industry around the globe to
locate in Nigeria. The Nigerian elites have been
fighting a culture war. The main battlefield is the
brain. At stake is what Nigeria is to be. Their goal
is to radically change Nigeria to fit their moral
worldview. The treat is to democracy and all that
goes with it.
Nigerian values are fundamentally progressive,
centered on equality, human rights, social
responsibility, and the inclusion of all. Yet masses
have, without knowing why, given the Elites an
enormous advantage in the culture war. The
radical Elites seek and have already begun to
introduce: an authoritarian hierarchy based on
vast concentrations and control of wealth; order
based on fear, intimidation, and obedience; a
broken government; no balance of power;
priorities shifted from the public sector to the
corporate and military sectors; responsibility
shifted from society to the individual; control of
elections through control of who votes and how
the votes are counted; control of ideas through
the media; and patriarchal family values projected
upon religion, politics, and the market. The future
of democracy is at stake now. Social change is
material (who controls what wealth), institutional
(who runs what powerful institutions), and
political (who wins elections).
Politics is about moral values. Every political leader
presents his or her policies on the grounds that
they are right, that is, they are moral. How do we
know this? After all, there is an opposing view that
all politics is a matter of money, power, and
organization. Those are obviously vital to any
winning politics. But if that were all there were to
it, if there were no moral issues involved, then it
would not matter who wins, except for who gets
the patronage. But in Nigeria today, moral issues
are central. it does matter morally who wins. That
is why I am contesting for the office of the
President of The Federal Republic of Nigeria in
2015.
During the PDP reign we have seen what I called
an empathy deficit, a failure to care, both about
others and each other. Caring is not just feeling
empathy; it is taking responsibility, acting
powerfully and courageously. You have to be
strong to care, and to act on that care with success
like me. The ethics of care shapes government.
Care requires that government have two
intertwined roles: protection and empowerment.
To me. protection is more that just the army,
police, and fire fighter. It means social welfare,
disease control and public health, safe food,
disaster relief, health care, consumer and worker
protection, and environmental protection.
I was born in Owo in Ondo State, Nigeria on
September 3rd, 1969. I was raised by my parents
Chief and Mrs. Omosule. I'm a dedicated father of
two American Citizens children, my eldest
daughter - Jennifer Omosule 16 and my son
Marcus Omosule 12. I attend Saint Patrick primary
school, Owo in Ondo state and later attend Owo,
high school, Owo, Ondo State. I then move to
Ikaro high School, Ikaro, Ondo State to finish my
high school, I wanted to be close to my
grandfather. There I met different tribe of people
who care for me just as their son. Right after my
high school, I was lucky enough to obtain visa to
the United States for my post secondary school. I
was admitted to City University of New York to
study Mechanical Engineering. My third year
tragedy struck back home my grandmother was ill
and I had to drop out to take second job so I can
pay her medical bills and continue to maintain
and the support to family/ friends that where in
need in Nigeria. She died from that illness few
years later because of lack of proper medical care.
During my work, I start to learned business
through reading books, global economy and the
scope of industrialization around the world. I
quickly work my way up to corporate ladder and
obtained work in American corporations. In the
process of this I got to travel around the world
more than three times.
I like to save, I don't believe in waste, I guess it's
from my upbringing, since we didn't have much
and the little we had was to be properly managed.
I remember when my mother used to wait for us
to finished eating before she will eat, it took me
several months to figure out why, I came to find
out, she didn't have enough for all of us, so she
would give us what she had and when we were
done eating only then would she eat the remains.
When I realized this, my heart was broken, what
could I do? I was only a child of 10 years, ever
since then I decided not to finish my food. Even if
I was hungry, I would play with my food just like a
normal child would eat as if he/she did not like
the food. Would get up and tell my mother that I
was full. Then my mother would merge my food
with my younger brother and sister's plate. This is
what she ate for the night. From time to time I
noticed that my mother would have more to eat. I
was happy even when I went to bed hungry. I later
found work with local shop to help mother out.
Growing up was hard on my family, just as it is
hard on every average Nigerian family today. I
know what it is to be poor, I can relate to that pain
and suffering. I remember drinking Gari, three
times a day and thinking to myself this is a good
day; I would sometimes drink a lot of water just to
sleep.
When I went to high school, I had to walk many
kilometers to school and back every day. The
worst of it is when on my way home from school,
I thought of what my brother, sister and mother
are going to have for dinner that night and it
became my problem.
On a good day at the shop, I helped out loading
of the truck. When I came in that day I arrange for
some friends to help out unloading. Then the
shop keeper gave me money I shared my pay
among other guys. This is where I began to have
sense of leadership. Giving of time my,
coordinating the work load and how to arrange it
later became my responsibility. The shop keeper
notices this and began to give me more
responsibility. He also notices that I have customer
skills; I was able to persuaded customer on the
best brand to buy and also on how they could
save money.
I came to understand affection for people when I
came to learn that my grandfather, the man who
took care of my father from youth needed help.
My father lost his parents at early age. I came to
realized that my grandfather worked on the farm
alone, I couldn't let this happen. So every school
break instead of traveling to somewhere for
holiday I would spend it in the village with my
grandfather. I helped him out on the farm. There
were so many problem with the farmer during
that time, I would always asked questions of him,
why he couldn't do this or do that and make
things easy for himself. He can only carry little
from the farm on his bike, which is when the bike
is in good shape, majority of time he had to walk
two and a half hours to the farm then back again.
The roads were so bad. I asked him how could we
get his crops to the market, he said by bicycle or
sometimes if he had helper they would help him
carried some of the crop to the main road which
is about one hour away. So what he did was take
the little he could eat with him and bring a little
more to sell to the woman at the market. I see this
as a problem, high prices in food commodities. My
grandfather has passed on now it is sad to see
that he will not benefit from the agricultural
reform that I will proposed to the country when I
become president. If he were alive today He would
be proud of me, Because of my ability to look at
problems that faces our agricultural sector, I can
quickly evaluate the cause as well as find solution
to the problem. I have experience in what farmers
go through. With that knowledge I can provide a
more practical solution to this situation so that
other grandfathers, grandmothers and all the
farmers throughout Nigeria will not have to go
through the suffering that my grandfather
endured. This is the view that will lead us to right
conduct of action.
2003 my father had an accident between Lagos
and Ore express road, his car ran under a parked
trailer late at night, he was under the trailer till
next morning and no ambulance service around
to take him to the hospital. But later a motorist
stopped and took him to nearest
