Let praise be given to those and for those things deserving praises, otherwise one who engages in giving unwarranted praises can be said to be making a fool of himself or herself. Or better still, he / she can be rightly said to be engaged in the act of bootlicking. This fellow may have a lot hidden in his closet that he is trying to prevent unearthing. Simple reasoning would direct us to focus our searchlight on such individual, especially if the said carries an air of a ‘pseudo king’.
The just ended United Nations General Assembly featured the participation of world leaders. It was a great forum for leaders to interact with one another in matters affecting their countries and regions. The opportunity to be represented as a country at such a gathering is refreshing to citizens as leaders who know their onions come back home with a baggage of goodies ranging from investment deals to agreements / cooperation on support to tackle some pressing problems of their respective countries. It also afforded leaders the rare privilege of making the world know the concerns and sufferings of their people due to unfair policies of other countries and international institutions.
It is deceptive to praise going to New York when actual participation, in the sense of the word, was absent. One is yet to pin down any of Nigeria’s pressing problems given due relevance at the General Assembly. Even the absence of our arrowhead at the meeting convened to discuss assistance to be given to countries affected by the Boko Haram insurgency, in respect of displaced persons was embarrassing enough, not to talk of the speech given by the president, which appeared to have been massively boycotted, judging from the number of people in attendance. The abortive meeting with Pope Francis because of lateness and wrong gate issue is another stench in the country’s bag. Charity begins at home. We are a country which runs on African time.
The bone of contention here is, ‘why the accolade?’ One is far from understanding OBJ’s body language or mouth language - the one that has to do with the tabling of the Nigerian matter - , when Joel McHenry, a Canada based observer in utter frustration said, ‘at some point, I thought he was talking to himself’. It was a matter of regret to hear that our affairs had been tabled at the world forum when actually we lacked genuine representation at a meeting to visit the menace that originated from a part of our country with spillage effect on other countries. Does this explain the recent increase in THE bombing campaign by Boko Haram? This undue shower of praise drives one into thinking of the need to establish a NAFDAC parallel in the country’s political sphere to help address the issue of expired politicians. Relevance is treasured, but not courted in a do or die manner. From the ill-fated third term agenda to the conversion of personal estate into the Central Bank to keep GOVERNMENT money wrongly taken from government coffer and withholding it from the government of the time because of lack of trust in the government you also helped to bring to power; only to surrender the said money in a move to lobby for relevance later to a government feared would probe you. WAKE UP NIGERIA and see what is happening. CRY THE BELOVED COUNTRY. (- by NaijaComplaints)
