WHAT YOUNG OBAMA CAN TEACH BUHARI

CHANGE THE GAME, DON’T KILL THE PLAYERS!

PLACED PEOPLE OVER VENDETTA, POLICY OVER

POLITICS

The cost of Iraq war as at 2009 is $1.6 Trillion ($7.5

million per day). Most of which were laced with

fraud and misappropriation. This culminated in the

biggest economic depression, job lost, housing

depression, thousands of American life lost,

thousands more amputated.

Obama was against the war and spoke vehemently

against it, but was clever to know that as a

President he needs the support of all American,

including the perpetrator to realize the big task of

righting the wrong of the war and corruption. Obama

simply placed people over vendetta and policy over

politics. He worked with both his party member and

opposition to change the direction of the country

through series of legislation and executive orders

that moved the country forward and prevents future

occurrence of bad, fraudulent and corrupt decision.

He constantly reminded the nation that he is

imperfect and that he is humble to be the President

of all, and will continuously work to earn the trust

and confidence of all.

Today, America economy is back to his best,

thanks to God, Obama cleverness and support of

ALL American. This is the lesson that can come

handy to Buhari and all Nigerian. Fighting corruption

is necessary, but must be done in a smart way.

Corruption is a product of the system, not the

creation of a single perpetrator. My perception is

that Jonathan, Saraki, Fashola, Amechi appears

guilty, but so also are Babangida, Abdulsalam,

Obasanjo, Atiku, Tinubu, Akume, almost Nigeria

politician and Buhari by association. Steve Wonder

can see this. Why not Buhari? When did he found

out that Saraki, Fashola, Amechi were corrupt? Was

it before or after his election? Did he knowingly

(hypocritical) ignored their corruption and benefited

from their looting? If he didn’t know, Shouldn’t he,

giving the level of his knowledge and experience?

What else he didn’t know? Was he aware that

Gbajabiamila stole client money, convicted by U.S

court and still imposed him as Nigeria Lawmakers

Leader? Will Saraki be in this legal trouble if he

didn't contest for Senate President against the

advice of Tinubu?

We may never have the answers to the above

critical questions, but I do know that Muritala tried

to fight corruption instead of changing the system,

and the system survives him. The younger Buhari

tried as a dictator with decree and backing of the

finest Nigerian Army officer in Idiagbon, and the

system survives them. Can Buhari achieve that now

with the backing of Tinubu in a democratic process

and rule of law? You can draw your own

conclusion..............

Such a good composite with good use of rhetorical questions. However, of what use is an over ambitious, selfish and ruthless player when we must talk of the spirit of sportmanship?
