Cheer up ordinary Nigerians! This is New Year. Don’t worry, be happy. We shouldn’t let politicians steal our New Year joy likewise they’ve looted our monies. Let none scapegoat you into coercive sadness for the ills that corrupt politicians have done us in lately and creeping forward.
Cheer up ordinary Nigerians! This is New Year. Don’t worry, be happy. We shouldn’t let politicians steal our New Year joy likewise they’ve looted our monies. Let none scapegoat you into coercive sadness for the ills that corrupt politicians have done us in lately and creeping forward.
Spit It Out And Let Go: If you’ve had bellyful from miscreants as politicians in Nigeria and your stomach is churning loose as mine – please, help me spit tufiakwa on Aso Rock, Senate and their sundry meeting places!
Bank Robbery And Dollar Rain in Aso Rock: While Nigeria was periled by bombings incited by religious-motivated terrorism; Jonathan Goodluck was masterminding dollar robbery of Central Bank of Nigeria on New Year’s Eve. Nigerian politicians feast on the blood and misfortune of ordinary normal people with no prick of conscience and as if they are in spendthrift contest with the Queen of England. On page 149 line 10 of Tony Blair’s new book ‘A Journey’ he wrote of the endless jollying in Queens’ Palaces as: “Breakfast was huge. Lunch was huge. Dinner was huge.” I could see the same overfeeding and raw hedonism going on in Aso Rock and sundry other pocket-seize Aso Rocks 36-statewide power stations, Nigeria-wide. Every time street-smart hip-hop musicians sing ‘bitch better have my money’ I share their somewhat trifle. At least, she’d scratch your back and do you some soothing services. Our politicians add no value however either to our wellbeing or infrastructure upon loads on monies they doled themselves with Machiavellian impunity. The clandestine sharing of one billion dollar by Jonathan on New Years’ Eve when Nigeria was burning from terror attacks signifies that Jonathan is not only a heavy spender of our lean thrift but lacking emotional intelligence. The president doesn’t give a flying hell about the good wellbeing of Nigerians. He goes to the church but doesn’t have the ordinary natural instinct of: love your neighbour as yourself. The way the president conducts his personage badly, you’d want to ask what other intelligence has the president if he hasn’t common emotional intelligence?
Roosting Chicken: Wrongful corrupt misdoings of political class of 1999 till date no doubt have set our country on helter-skelter war part. If I had the gut of Malcolm X onetime black civil rights activist, I’d beg the chicken to go home to Ota, Aso Rock and Senate to roost. When erstwhile President Kennedy of US died, Malcolm X made a statement pertaining Kennedy’s chicken going home to roost. An opinion that stormed criticism for Malcolm and turned USA inside-out leading to ex-communication of Malcolm X from the Nation of Islam. One should be careful with anything that has to do with President Kennedy. Atiku did a quote after him about violence behaviours making peaceful co-existence impossible and Nigeria went zigzag blazing asunder. As an equalizer, It’d be better the chickens are roosting in the doorsteps of the rich and famous than killing, maiming and paining ordinary innocent citizens. Muslim terrorist, kidnappers, Niger Delta militant and their hustlers and shakers should take note.
Socio dis-engineering And Scarce New Year Greeting: Darkness engulfed Nigeria from New Year Eve plus the New Year proper. Every past New Year celebration saw roaring wishes to and fro by Nigerians on all Media and wherever. Blogospheres as Sahara Reporters use to be beehive for salute wishes – but behold! This year, there was scarcely anyone doing any wishes. I managed to say my wishes to Nigerians here on SR and a certain character called Deri lampooned my effort for cheering Nigerians. He opined Nigerians should forgo any celebration and embrace sadness on New Year day as if it was the ordinary man that brought Armageddon roaming on us. As aforesaid, politicians as Jonathan and Deri cannot, and should not be allowed to steal our money and happiness as well. It was purely overwhelming in the positive when Sahara Reporters released their own New Year wishes. Then I knew SR has beaten sadist politicians who want us to agonise 24/7 at their own game of socially dis-engineering Nigerians with endless sadism. At this point in time, one could only utter plenty woes to betide politicians for the avoidable general funeral mood they brought to bear on our collective happiness this New Year! May the blood of those who died in the bombings be upon corruption heavies and untouchable highborn. Both their past and extant sharp corrupt practices brought us this raining waterloo.
Blame It On The Rain: Jonathan Goodluck and his loudspeaker underlings should blame the bombings on the rains that fall in Nigeria. The rain doesn’t care a dime. To blame the presidents’ political foes suchlike Atiku, IBB and co., is to say the wrong thing at the very wrong time. Jonathan should stopping cashing in on, and making political gains out our collective expediencies. There’s more to leadership than rhetoric and the wilful willingness to deceive the citizens. It’s like blaming Tony Blair whenever the IRA in Northern Ireland bombs Unionist enclave due their religious and tribal animosity in Ireland. Blair’s forebears were Protestant and acidic foes to Catholics in their primitive divide in Northern Ireland. Religion is the core culprit that buoyed the Nigeria bombings. Any time Mr. Goodluck is seen kneeling down before Adeboye and the Messiah-complex pastor stretches his hands forward to superpower upon Jonathan, the president mingles religion with statecraft. It is same intoxicating religion that propels Muslim terrorist to go after their victims. State should be separated from religion in Nigeria to stop this silly nonsense. It is absurd for government to continue to sponsor or coordinate religious pilgrimages in Nigeria. Nigerian government buy and pay into religious terrorism by so doing. As I use to say, religion has chewed more than it could swallow in this our time and age!

And conclusively, promise me that’d continue to spit tufiakwa upon rank and file of corrupt politicians in Abuja until they deem it fit to do right. In addition to that, whisper to me that you’ll double your tufiakwa on bad political leaders when their chickens go home to roost in their final bygones! After all, Franz Fanon, J.F. Kennedy and Atiku are correct that if you bring violence via the window you take peace away through the door. Malcolm X is right that by and by, all bastard political leader’s chicken should roost when their end-time day, turn to night.
