Is Our President Presidential?

December 29, 2011

What is being presidential? Being presidential is to act, to reason, to behave, to talk, to laugh like a president. It does not matter if you are a president or not, if you can do all these like a president, you are presidential. But is our Jonathan Goodluck presidential?

I will leave that for the public to judge. During the 2011 UN summit held between 19th and 20th September this year, judging by the body language of President (?) Jonathan, when Hilary Clinton, the number 4 person in the US government, was talking to him, GEJ's body spoke a lot, his body language spoke inferiority complex, cluelessness, incompetency, opportunistic, inability, weakness, mediocrity, abasement, immorality, meanness and many more I could not remember for now. What about our dear Patience who jumped protocol by jumping in front of her mediocre Goodluck when they were coming out of the plane, I do not think madame is helping the image of her husband, as both are accidentally in Aso Rock, if it were a country walking on its legs, these mediocres do not have any business in government, they would be better as fisherman and fish seller. With these, is the president presidential?
 
I am not much surprise, when an African man does not expect to get to a level, and he accidentally gets there, he'd be acting in a funny way as the Jonathans are doing now. Jonathan Goodluck was voted for by the masses believing he is the messiah they have been expecting. He did not only disappoint them, he told them to their face that there life is worthless. But my Nigerians fellow could not read between lines, if not, they would have known long time ago that this man does not care for them. He was called to debate his opponents, he disappointed the masses who have been expecting their messiah to come and finish his opponents, and later went to debate himself. But my people could not discern this attitude, that it is that of a mediocre. Today some families are grieving for their lost ones since the beginning of this administration and during the spate of bombing on christmas day. There was no reaction from the president, after waiting for more than 10 hours, all he could console them with is this is a burden we should learn how to live with, about two days or a day later, the supreme court gave a verdict on the election that was rigged and bought by the PDP cum Jonathan, all this mediocre president could do in public was to jubilate, and never minding that some people just lost their lives few days ago. What this means is that even if all of you die, provided I remain in the seat of power, all the rest na una sabi. This is the trasfornmation messiah we have been expecting. I don't know that presidential election has turn to the annual Inter-House Sport where kids jubilate when their Houses (Red, Blue, Yellow or Green) has won in any of the events of the competition. Is he presidential?
 
May be we should help this man and his family to understand their responsibilities to the nation. Mr President, if there is national tragedy like the christmas day bombing, if as a country we are serious, other countries will be sending you (us) condolence message because you are the chief mourner. But how could this happen when you the chief mourner is publicly jubilating over the verdict of your election never minding the ongoing national tragedies? How could it happen when all you could come out to say is that we should brace up for more bombing to happen, and that we should learn how to live with it? All these are making us a laughing stock in the comity of Nations. Your house is burning all you could do is to warn Guinea-Bissau dissidents that you received the reports of their attacks with grave concern, ask yourself, is this presidential? Does this means you are less concern with what is happening in your own country but very concern with what is happening in other country? My President, you are our tragedy, you are highly disappointing us as a nation. Is this kind of attitude presidential? Mr President, is it true that in the budget you presented to the National Assembly for the year 2012, Almost N1Billion is budgeted for the food, and entertainments of your guest and that of your vice president? If this is true, then any future presidential candidate must get their head examined medically so that this tragedy befalling us today will no longer befall us. Is it also true that N1 trillion is budgeted for Security in the budget? If this is true, then I think we should take it that you and your cabal are behind all these spate of bombings here and there to justify your security vote of N1 trillion. Mr President, I bet it, those that voted for you not for PDP are cursing you now, they are lamenting they made the greatest mistake of their lifetime. You campaigned that you did not have shoes when you were growing up, does this mean you want to take shoes from the legs of those that already have, and you want those that do not have to remain like that for ever so that your story is unique and never happen again-may be this is a punishment you want to mete out for making you shoeless during those time. Mr President, there is something called POSTERITY, you might not have come across that from your primary school up to the time you finished your Ph.d. But please do me a favour by checking your dictionary for the meaning, may be this would gear you up a bit.
 
For those that keep on following Mr President dogmatically, I have a word for you. May your entire life be ruled the way Jonathan is ruling Nigeria now, if you can say "Amen" to this, I will believe you are following Jonathan with good faith and you need deliverance, the type Bishop David Oyedepo gave a girl that claimed she is a witch for Jesus Christ. To some people Jonathan cannot be wrong, to some they are trying to destabilise his government, to some, he inherited a decadence that all he is doing will not show for now until in future, to some let us continue to pray to God. To all of you, I have advices, being president is not by force, if the burden is too much for him, he should honorably resign and give chance to those that would not complain of the heat while in the kitchen. And to the believers in God like myself, God will not come down to do it for us, we'd by ourselves with help from the Almighty.  To those that never see anything wrong in Jonathan government and mediocrity, you all need to go back to school, to learn what is expected from government and governance, may be that would help you to understand and differentiate between a performing government and non performing one. For me Jonathan has tried his best, but unfortunately his best is not enough for us, we salute his courage for giving presidency a shot, his name will not be judged wrongly by posterity if he throws in the towel now, but if he continues like this for the remainder of the time, then I have no doubt that one day his entire family would be wiped out by Niger Deltans he claimed he is representing. Because as Nigeria is going on under him, the Niger Deltans and their militants will one day realised that he is just not their friend but their avowed enemy. Mr President, ask yourself if you are highly presidential or unpresidential. Why on earth would you be jubilating when you are supposed to be mourning. There is time for everything, a time to jubilate, a time to mourn, a time to laugh, a time to cry, a time to be inactive, a time to be active, a time to sleep, a time to be awake, a time to continue and a time to give up. My President, this is a time to mourn, to cry, to be active, to be awake and finally a time to give up the presidency, if you can do this, you will forever remain my HERO and the hero of majority of Nigerians including those that voted for you not for PDP.
 
Finally, my fellow Nigerians, I do not ask us to abuse ourselves based on our region or religion, all I am asking is a question whether or not our president is presidential.
