FOR APC, IT IS POLITICAL PAY-
BACK TIME...
"Igba a ba fi win oka ni a o fi gba
a." - Yoruba proverb
For the benefit if our Yoruba
speakers, I will soon come back
for translation of this proverb.
But before then, let me make
something clear: I am NOT a fan
of Gov. Fayose. I always believe
he could make do with tact
rather than exuberance.
However, whenever he hits APC
and especially, President Buhari,
I always hear this voice inside
me: "Serve them right".
In the same vein, whenever
someone calls Buhari derogatory
names, I always feel
uncomfortable but hey, I could
hardly upbraid the person these
days. Why? When you set a
standard, you always live with it.
If you do not respect your elder
brother, your younger brother
will treat you like a trash. IT IS
THE LAW OF NATURE!
APC took politics of bitterness
and anti-country posturing to an
unprecedented heights when
Jonathan was in power. They
spared nothing. They demonized
him (which might be normal in
politics) but beyond that, they
wished Nigeria evil when he was
in power. APC sided with Boko
Haram. They wrote to the US not
to sell arms to us. They reported
us to European Union. They
reported the then chief of army
staff, Azubuike Ihejirika, to the
ICC. (Can you imagine that?)
What was his offence? For killing
Boko Haram members. They
commissioned CNN to do a
documentary on the "killings".
Any time Nigeria was frustrated
for not being able to buy arms,
APC and its supporters
celebrated it! Whenever Boko
Haram leveled any village or
announced any 'victory', our
compatriots were always happy.
YET, THEY CLAIMED THEY WERE
NIGERIANS!
What of name calling? Up till
now, you read names like
"morons", "idiots", "fools",
"lunatics", "buffons" and so on.
Where are people called these
names? Because they do not
support Buhari or APC! No other
offence than that. These are
names some little minds call
others purely for political
reasons. And same names they
used severally on the former
president. One of Buhari's
ardent supporters once said: "All
Jonathan's supporters are fools".
He said it on my wall. I quickly
did the needful.
The questions are these: if you
did not imbibe the spirit of
nationalism and patriotism when
Jonathan was in power, why do
you want someone else to
imbibe such now? Just as it was
your 'choice' then, na by force
now? If you derived pleasure in
calling the former president
names, terribly derogatory
names, why do you feel sick if
someone calls the current
president names? If el-Rufai
could accuse Jonathan of going
to Chad to plan another terror
and also reported his country to
ICC because of Boko Haram,
then what is wrong in Fayose
telling China not to give us loan?
It is the size of grain we 'loaned'
out that we will always collect
back. So says the adage at the
beginning of this post.

After prizing, this is now payment time.
The people that called him good and upright last week are now shouting crucify him.

I never supported Buharia for once because I believed that with GEJ is better off. His only problem was that he is an Ijaw man, an ethnic minority.

Nigerians should now understand that we may have a good leader with the best intentions. But there must be people with thwarted intentions around the leader and those are the problem to our now wishful illusion of a better, peaceful, progressing and stronger Nigeria.
