When War Becomes Necessary: The Time In Nigeria by ferdvict2(m): 7:44am On Apr 12, 2015
As we celebrate a successful fulfillment of
this foreign democratic process, we must
keep our minds clear and our guards up. A
war seems to have been averted, but
which war and what kind of averting?
Is Jonathan a hero for handing over? Some
say by so doing he helped us avoid a war.
Firstly, let’s get it clear: I have long said that
no one will fight for Jonathan. I saw
through Dokubo a long time ago. The
minute he said, “that Fulani Buhari would
have done better for us than Jonathan;”
and that “I only support Jonathan because
though I see his is a failure, he is from
Otueke… monkey no fine but him mama
like am,” I knew Dokubo will never kill a
soul for Jonathan. It was all an act… a
beautiful act to earn his bread.
Bayelsa people though disenfranchised
with a low education rate; are some of the
most honorable and noble people in
Nigeria. I did my NYSC there and have
worked with these great people in other
capacities; of Nigerians no one disliked
Jonathan more than Niger Delta boys, the
Niger Delta militants. Simply Google search
for “Booed in Bayelsa,” and you will be
convinced when you watch how the youth
of Bayelsa booed Jonathan loudly during
his recent visit.
Let us be real with ourselves, Jonathan and
his PDP party failed Nigerians at large.
Don’t be misled by the massive rigging and
the manipulated results of the March 28th
presidential elections. The paltry 12 million
votes they “won” out of 80 million eligible
adults, was bought with $6 billion PDP
looted Nigerian petrodollars and a massive
military operated rigging machine, not
love. It was a heavy investment in sowing
seeds of hate, bigotry and strife; we all
witness these massive projects from the
pulpit by the PDP. We know how at $100
per vote, Jonathan and his PDP took
advantage of the desolation they have
invested in nurturing in us for decades;
making the poor wear on the Quran and
Bible to vote for Jonathan and PDP
governors. Be ready for more of that PDP
(People Desperate for Power) vote buying
and rigging come April 11th by candidates
like Agbaje and Ribadu. They have already
started from reports in the dailies.
Scrutinize their states and campaigns and
you will see the mischievous Jonathan
doctrinal ethno-fractionating messages
and the rigging money and machinery at
work.
Now that we are convinced that no one
would have seriously killed for Jonathan,
the second question we are confronted
with is: what if they did? Perhaps this was
fight we needed to have had. The Nigerian
masses have held their peace and suffered
too long; perhaps it is time we fight. What
have we lost by not fighting? Do we know
what Buhari traded to Jonathan that is our
right, in the General Abdulsalami Amnesty
deals? The Jonathan/PDP government over
the past 16 years (and by extension
through the Babangida/Abacha era of the
same family) has looted unthinkable
amounts of Nigeria’s wealth and land.
There is very little left for us people to use.
Buhari is in for it. Jonathan and the cabal
under this PDP have cut up Nigeria and
shared it among themselves. Cement,
agricultural land, oil, car manufacturing;
just anything you can think of is owned by
Jonathan and co. Nigeria is finished!
If Buhari does not repossess these from
them, there is no way we can exist a
humanely existence. And we saw Buhari
promise Jonathan that he (and his loot) is
safe. Did we who put Buhari there
authorize this? Did we really avoid the
fight or we simply postponed the battle
date? How will the Nigerian masses not
finally fight to reclaim what is theirs from
the cabal and the devils who work for the
cabal?
We are hopeful with the Buhari/Osinbajo
government but we must also be truthful
to ourselves. We voted for the firm dictator
Buhari but we do realize what we got is a
western-democratic compromised
politician Buhari, not that brutal one we
loved; and one who has to work with the
system with these hawks, these glutinous
senators and political godfathers around
him. What war did we avert? And did we
need avert it?
The good book says, “To everything there
is a season, and a time to every purpose
under the heaven: A time to be born, and a
time to die; a time to plant, and a time to
pluck up that which is planted; A time to
kill, and a time to heal; a time to break
down, and a time to build up; A time to
weep, and a time to laugh; a time to
mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast
away stones, and a time to gather stones
together; a time to embrace, and a time to
refrain from embracing; A time to get, and
a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to
cast away; A time to rend, and a time to
sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to
speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a
time of war, and a time of peace.”
