Lipstick is used to beautify lips but if applied shabbily, it looks ugly. Most men like kissing. However, some men might not be comfortable kissing the lips of their women with ugly lipstick. Similarly, Nigerian like hypocritical politicians who carry fire and water in the same mouth while claiming to be the “messiah” the country has been waiting for. However too, Nigerians are easily pissed off by the same hypocritical politicians who retouch on a stale ugly lipstick simply because it does not shine.

However too, Nigerians are easily pissed off by the same hypocritical politicians who retouch on a stale ugly lipstick simply because it does not shine.
As President Goodluck Jonathan prepares to launch his presidential bid by retouching is stale ugly lipstick, Nigerians should tell him to wipe off the lipstick before kissing us.
Lipstick 1: Obasanjo, Otedola & Co.
The proper etiquette regarding lip stick gloss on drinking glasses is to always wipe it off with napkin and not to leave it. With lips full of ugly lipstick anything President Jonathan touches is stained. The glass of reform of the energy sector is stained by the dark lipstick in the person of Femi Otedola.
How serious can President Jonathan be in reforming the power sector when his underground political campaign is being funded by owner of Zenon that is selling ‘all the diesel in Nigeria’ used to power generating sets to ‘nearly all’ the major manufacturing firms in the country? Will Prof. Barth Nnaji – the newly appointed SA on power - and the countless number of committees and sub-committees on power be allowed to stifle life out of Zenon by President Jonathan? Your guess is as good as mine.
One of the remote causes of the failure of Obasanjo’s administration in the power sector was Mr. Otedola who donated N100m to the Obasanjo campaign aside from the huge sum he committed to his presidential primaries. For his diesel business to continue booming OBJ paid only lip service to reviving the power sector. Otedola just like Andy Uba, Jimoh Ibrahim, Emeka Offor were an unknown quantity before former president Olusegun Obasanjo arbitrarily catapulted and made them billionaires.
These individuals (particularly Femi Otedola and Obasanjo) have to be wiped off the lips of President Jonathan before he will be allowed to kiss Nigerians. We should not allow the stain from the lips of Mr. President to keep Nigerians in perpetual darkness.
Lipstick 2: Extravaganza
President Jonathan’s extravagant lifestyle is an expression of his character and an indication of how wasteful his administration will be. A budget of N9.5 billion from initial N16.4 billion to mark Nigeria‘s 50th independence anniversary! Owambe party with Alao Akala where nearly every market in the town was shut down! Over a hundred delegations to G8 meeting in Canada!
There is no difference in attitude between Jonathan and Obasanjo when it comes to reckless spending and gallivanting. We are weeping already at the extravagance of your five months old reign. Your lower lip is starting to protrude (Like that of OBJ). Before you kiss us Mr. President, wipe off the ugly-extravagant-dirty-brown lipstick and stop hunting little bush rodents when your colleagues are after big game.
Lipstick 3: Corruption
The first sign of business as usual in the lips service to the fight against corruption was when Theophilus Danjuma, one of the beneficiaries of Abacha and Obasanjo’s corrupt administration who recently admitted making $500 million in an oil deal was appointed the Chairman of Presidential Advisory board. Danjuma is an ugly lipstick that must be wiped off by Jonathan. Re-admittance of former governor of Bayelsa State, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, back into PDP is a clear signal that it will be business as usual under Nwodo and Jonathan administered PDP.
One of the rules of lipstick is that working women should not use bright shades while going to work. If President Jonathan is really working for common man, the EFCC report/investigation of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dimeji Bankole and his principle officers who shared and pocketed N500 million in a corrupt car deal that has been swept under the carpet and now and then used as a political tool (just like that against Ogbulafor) is a bright shade lipstick that MUST be wiped off.
Jonathan has a broad mouth, and should thus use light shade lipstick. TheHalliburton and Siemens scandals implicating virtually all the OBJ boys now backing his presidential bid is a dark shade lipstick that MUST be wiped off.
Conclusion
Lipstick does not give luster if lips are not clean. What Mr. Preisdent need is clean lips. If he is planning to kiss with lipstick, he MUST make sure to choose right color, which goes well with rest of his planned political makeup.
The claim by President Jonathan that “Jega, Nnaji and I will change Nigeria” is a huge joke. He is forgetting that his soiled fingers and ugly lipsticks will stain and contaminate the rest. Paraphrasing President Obama, you can put lipstick on a pig but it’s still a pig, and you can wrap Jonathan in a piece of paper called change but it’s still going to stink. Nigerians are not comfortable in kissing you Mr. President with your lipstick as currently designed and applied. They are untrue. So, in such circumstances, make sure you change your preferences, either for lipsticks or for kissing partners as you prepare to launch your presidential bid.
