Iyabo's Letter: A Call For Reflection by gohome: 8:24am On Dec 19, 2013
When the "infallible" and "omnipotent" Chief Obasanjo sent his Satanic Verses: fabrications based on bad belle, greed, personal ego, and the propensity to make mischief to sitting President Jonathan, all in a grand design to pitch one region against another, set Christians against Muslims, and North against South, but we did not read nor hear of any caution, decency, decorum, norms, values, virtues, fairness, etc., etc., and now that Dr. Iyabo Obasanjo has decided to free herself from the bondage that her abusive father unleashed on her family including her siblings for decades unabated, we are beginning to read from the warlords, ethnic jingoists, comedians, and sycophants calling on Diaspora Nigerians to rise up that Dr. Iyabo Obasanjo is out to adulterate indigenous Nigerian culture (s) with "British/American culture where children can talk to their parents without caution, into our system." and that, dah..dah..dah.......".

However, their strategy is to trivialize what the Obasanjo nucleated family, especially, the children have been through in their lives as a result of Chief Obasanjo who trampled on their basic natural rights to live quality and productive lives as humans would do under any normal circumstances, and now the picture is getting clearer. Realistically, as Africans, but what African culture promotes the physical or mental abuse of defenseless children by a mother or father? Also, who could have imagined that one of Nigeria's former Military Heads of State can confine his children to "boys quarter" solitude while the dictator (father) will do owambes with women of low-virtues right inside Nigeria's opulent Doddan Baracks not until Dr. Iyabo Obasanjo went public to narrate their mental torture? My good people of Nigeria, let's cast emotions or sentiments aside here, what you sow is what you reap, and as you make your bed, so you must lie on it. If Chief Obasanjo cannot lead his immediate family by keeping his house in order, then, he cannot keep the Nigerian house together either.

Moreover, it will be very senseless of any sane-minded Nigerian to inject sentiments into any brazen attempts to publicly rehabilitate Chief Obasanjo's fallen political fortune in Nigeria. You can take people for fools, but not all the time. Nigerians have wised up to these games of deceits to instigate untold crisis in our country. When Chief Obasanjo pretended that he was midwifing peaceful settlement between the warring factions inside his former party-PDP whereas he was fanning embers of hatred in a clandestine maneuver to pull the PDP structures from the grip of his party leader, President Jonathan, before he-OBJ officially decamps to the APC, but very little did OBJ know that his first daughter, Iyabo, will be the one to reveal his evil machinations to the political-world in Nigeria.

Finally, the foot soldiers and ardent defenders of Chief Obasanjo as Nigeria's Messiah just have to suck it up. May be, when the likes of Chief Obasanjo re-incarnate, they will know how to use peoples' power for the betterment of the very people they were mandated to serve. Regrettably, OBJ has learnt the effects of Retributive Justice at a very ripe age, and what an irony of fate.

I don't see how imposing a sick president and 'on prepared' VP on Nigeria is a family affair.
