Give Peter OBI The Job by Serial48(f): 5:21pm On Jun 25, 2022
The curiosity I was birthed with was something worthy of note. My biological mother usually told me I questioned literally everything when I was an infant. This, she said to me when I unveiled my atheism in a very religious setting. Mumsy was a pastor. Granny I lived with when I was at the boarding school was faith-believing. So was my aunt I spent many year with. Yet, I questioned literally everything.

This hasn’t stopped and I don’t think it will anytime soon. Which is why I am fancying the idea of majoring in sociology to better understand from an intellectual context, how humans think.

Just months ago, fierce protests were held as to the increment of fees in Delta State University. Some student I had privately tutored were back home claiming students were united in the struggle and had all agreed to not attend lectures until the demands of their protests was tended. I said zilch. Just observed. Although I mildly commented given my experience, that the management of the university were very tactical and know how to utilize the divide and rule strategy very well; select a few popular students, course reps, department heads etc, make juicy offers and the protests will be sabotaged.

One of their loudest comrades was vituperating making posts after posts in vehement opposition to the fee increment. I was just laughing because we have a history and I could see through his pretext of a complain. At some point, he was doing too much I was forced to send him a message privately telling him to chill. He called from the UK immediately he got my message demanding an explanation. I threw more light albeit not expecting him to get it. I’ve always known these people to think politics a ‘game’. The selection of leaders who will determine the quality of your short life and that of your compatriots by a mile is a game? The way African politics is run ehn, professor Lumumba describes it well.

Anyway, I read from same ‘comrade’ applauding and praising Governor Ifeanyi A. Okowa yesterday o. Same Okowa he criticized months ago for school fee increment was now a political demigod worthy of emulating. He even used the word ‘game’. And he won’t be the only one doing this.

I have read from many accounts that vehemently condemned the delta state government over that fee increment now applauding Okowa’s tenacity and tactfulness.

I cannot be ashamed to originate from the same geographical location as these lots as it was of no choosing of mine. My inquisitiveness still asks the questions as to what I am doing in this country. I mean, you just criticized the man’s nonchalant and lackadaisical attitude towards the plight of delta state students, some of who are from your village that is lacking in road, water, light, and other necessary basics. I mean, the same person who’s been on seat and laws have been made that has further toughened the lives of an average deltan, I mean, issues has been raised to the unaffordability of housing for the common man with homeless people littered nearly every nook and cranny of the state’s capital, I mean kids well under 18 were being bundled into a police van for loitering in front of shoprite (eyewitness account), because that’s where they beg, eat, sleep. No school, nothing. Yet, for a VP ticket, the man is automatically a messiah?

The irony in all this is I know and understand this ‘game’ very well. I didn’t even attempt to play it in the university but I learned how it was played and that is the sick foundation set by these ‘comrades’. For them, it is a matter of the baton being handed down to them when their time is right.

And they do not care whether or not Nigeria loses in these games.

Peter Obi is not about the game. He is the game, and regardless of my state of origin, my choice aligns with competence. This was why I aligned myself with the G8 when they suggested voluntary colonialism.

I do not care where a person is from or what they look like. If they can competently and efficiently do the job, give them the job!!! Peter Obi’s track record, interviews, portfolio etc has shown a man who not only can do the job, but can do it well. Give the man the job!
