Nigeria...WARNING FOR THE LEADERS

It is no more a news to the entire world that the political system of this country has gone worse than bad, before now, I use to be proud of being a Nigerian but now everything that brings about the pride has been washed off my mind and soul because of the instability in every areas of the system of the country. Many times I’ve thought about it if Nigeria is really a country or a private company where the owner determines what happens at his own will.

Can u ever imagine a country like Nigerian that calls herself the giant of Africa without a stable and half well structured system in the necessary areas of life in terms of Education, politics, power supply and citizens’ welfare e.t.c, it has always been from one problem to the other. The educational system is nowhere in place with other countries in Africa not to talk of the world, the political system has become a mafia war where assassination has become a normal way of life, the welfare of the citizen is never a right again but a privilege…Everything in shamble.

The system of this nation has been turned into the popular round letter ball game (football) where same set of people form a team and determines what happens to over One Hundred and Fifty Million people (150 million). Recently, The nation went through a rebranding exercise and they came up with a slogan “GOOD PEOPLE…GREAT NATION” rebranding indeed…The issue of rebranding Nigeria was just a clear case of changing the case of a rottened egg, the casing can be good but what is inside will always give a bad odor. They have forgotten that in a case like this what we need is to rebrand the system in the country such as good economic system, electricity, education and provide all other social amenities to the citizen then, the nation can be proud of a Good people great nation.

Some months back, the nation’s name was listed amongst the terrorist nation which caused a lot of havoc among the leaders that we are not a terrorist nation but “GOOD PEOPLE GREAT NATION”…but If am permitted to talk about that I would say “NIGERIA IS INDEED A TERROSRIST NATION” considering what is happening within the ethnic groups and religious group in the country. What has the government done about it? Some weeks back thousands of people lost their lives in the religious crisis in Jos, Plateau state. What has the government done about it? They did not border to address the issue to find out the what really happened and resolve the matter to avoid future occurrence and they were busy making noise on all the media means that Nigeria is not a terrorist nation.

I can say it anywhere that one of the factors America considered before enlisting Nigeria amongst the terrorist nation in the world was the fact that “A man that can kill his own brother will never hesitate to kill another man”. What good news do we have in this nation to back up our claims that we are not a terrorist nation? Should we talk about the assassination of the former Arthoney General of the Federation some years back without any trace of the people behind?, the day to day assassination within the political groups in the country, the non-challant attitude of our leaders toward what is not affecting them because they do not have the interest of the citizen at heart?. Recently in Osun State, a Lawyer was assassinated because he was defending a political case in court, in Ogun State a political leader Dipo Dina was killed like a mere chicken, Last two weeks in Lagos one of the Action Congress (AC) member was assassinated in front of his house after a political meeting and we are saying we are not a terrorist nation…Nigeria is more than a terrorist nation.

Think about the ongoing issue in the country when the so called “His Excellency” YAR’ADUA travelled out of the country for months without a notice not to talk of proper handing over to his vice to fill the gap while he would be away. Why? Because he never sees the nation’s constitution as a factor to be considered and nobody could do anything reasonable on time even the Federal Executive Council because he has bought all of them over. I can’t even imagine and I don’t want to believe it that the president was advice to speak to his citizen and the best avenue to do that was to go to BBC to address the Nigerians. Anyway, I knew he was not the person that made the speech then probably this popular comedian “Holy Mallam” or whoever.

At a time, it was proposed that the vice president should be given the power to act unbehalf of the president and some set of people kicked against it that it was not constitutional forgetting the fact that necessity can at times bypass constitution. On different occasions delegates were sent to visit him at his hopital in Saudu Arabia to know the status of his health but were denied the access of seeing the president. What a shame and a slap on the faces of the bunch of fools who calls themselves the Federal Executive Council (FEC) and Nigeria as a country. Part of the havoc the absence of the president caused was the long religious crisis in Jos when there was nobody to give order. Part of it was also the successful listing of the nations name into the terrorist nations list to mention few when he was not around to meet with the American government.

Yesterday his arrival was announced without any confirmation because it was just a news nobody has seen him even his vice (Good-luck Jonathan). Imagine the madness that the Vice President was not informed about YAR’ADUA’s arrival, he said he never knew the president would be flown into the country and yet about 200 mobile police men were at the airport to guide the president. Who made the arrangements for his arrival?, who gave the order to mobilize the police men to the airport?. That means there is no security in the county, for something as big as that to have happened and the assumed number one citizen in the country was not aware is a big shame and that means anything can happen to the country.

Now he is back into the country as said but with no evidence, I think what the Federal Executive Council (FEC) should do now is to make him speak to the media and address the citizen to be sure he is really back and also most importantly for us to really know the status of his health in order to declare him incapacitated and continue with the plans to make God-Luck Jonathan the president. What he has come to do is what I do not understand; a man who came into the country with all sorts of medical gadgets on him, who was rolled into an ambulance directly from the aircraft who could not even stand on his own. One thing I am sure of is that YAR’ADUA can never rule this country again because he is already incapacitated. I will just advice him to resign and go back to Saudi Arabia to complete his treatment or better still go back to his village in Katsina State.

I put it to all the leaders in this country that God will punish you all for turning this country to a football field where you play all the citizens like a ball. If you fail to repent and do what is right, the wrath of God is coming upon you and if you think you have too much money to buy security remember what happened to Sanni Abacha, you will sleep and never wake up. God will shed your blood to wash away the shame you have brought upon this country and one day we will sure a sing a song of victory and we will shout it loud and the whole world will know that indeed we are GOOD PEOPLE GREAT NATION.

Cheers!
