Godfatherism is a political slave trade where the Godfather is the slave merchant while the godson is the political slave or otherwise, a political article up for sale. It is the practice of political office seekers getting connected to an individual who is believed to have the ability to deliver desired outcome in an electoral contest.  The history of political godfatherism is traceable to the colonial epoch through independence era, military interregnum and towards the restoration of democracy in Nigeria in what came to be known as the fourth Republic in 1999 following the terminus of military junta.

My dear Compatriots, For the past two years we have transversed Ekiti state, knocking on doors, engaging our people and canvassing for support for our programmes.

MADRID -- Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo says the new five-year extension he has signed will not be his last contract as a player. At a special ceremony at the Bernabeu overseen by Madrid president Florentino Perez and attended by his agent Jorge Mendes, family members and some other VIP guests, Ronaldo, who turns 32 in February, put pen to paper on a bumper new deal which links him to the Liga club until well past his 36th birthday. While addressing the press, Ronaldo is quoted as saying "This is a special day for me, to continue this link with the club of my heart, it is a unique moment for me, but it is not my last contract. My aim for these five years is to keep making history, giving my best for this jersey. "For sure I will do the same as before, give everything to win trophies, and score goals. So thanks to everyone, my family, the people who work with me every day, and Real Madrid. Many thanks." "[Since joining] I have improved a lot as a play...
