Nigeria is 56 years old today. Consequently it is time to
speak some home-truths and look at where we are in the
scheme of things.
It is time to consider how well our government has fared
since coming to power and to compare their record of
service to previous governments that were in the saddle
before them. Sadly the score sheet does not look too
good.
The rigging of elections, the persecution of opposition
figures, the demonisation of dissenters, the destruction
of the economy, the pauperisation of our people, the
introduction of famine, the humiliation of Nigerians
coupled with violence, impunity, aggression, intolerance
and tyranny: that is all President Muhammadu Buhari and
his government have served our people since he was
sworn in on May 29th 2015.
The last one year and four months have been the worst
since independence in terms of the violation of human
rights, civil liberties and court orders by our government.
We have witnessed unprecedented mass murder,
butchery, carnage and barbarity by well-armed and highly
favored Fulani herdsmen and ethnic militias coupled with
genocide and unprecedented extra-judicial killings by our
military personnel and state security forces.
We have witnessed the resurrection of Abubakar Shekau
and the mutation of Boko Haram into two powerful new
factions. We have seen them re-take towns and
communities that they lost years ago and hoist their dirty
black flag in parts of the north-east.
Our government have given up on the Chibok girls and
we witnessed the humiliation, insults and physical
harassment by security forces that those who have fought
for their return in the BBOG group have been subjected to
in the last few months.
We have have seen the rapid depreciation of the naira,
the total decimation of our industrial, agricultural and
manufacturing sector and the destruction and decay of
virtually all our roads, airports, power generating facilities
and infra-structures.
Our government has squandered our foreign reserves.
Driven away local and foreign investment. Caused the
dollar to fly away. Created an atmosphere of fear and
uncertainty in the markets.
Forced people to spend their life savings and capital just
to survive. Reduced many Nigerians to eating just one
meal a day. Caused many to withdraw their children from
school simply because they cannot afford to pay fees.
And they have driven many to depression, suicide and
despair.
Unemployment is at a record high. The banks and indeed
the entire financial sector is dying because there is no
liquidity. The naira is approaching 500 naira to one US
dollar which represents an over 100 per cent depreciation
in the space of one year.
We are in the middle of the worst economic recession
that we have suffered in our 56 years of exsitence as an
independent nation-state.
Thousands are being laid off on a daily basis. Graduate
and non-graduate unemployment is at a record high.
Food prices, the price of transport and the price of fuel,
diesal and kerosene have shot up.
Finally we have witnesed the total and complete dashing
of the hopes, aspirations and dreams of the Nigerian
people.
Our government is corrupt, weak, paranoid, incompetent,
cowardly, fearful of criticism, terrified of a strong
opposition, unable to cope with dissent, insensitive,
delusional, wicked, sociopathic and psycopathic.
Worse still they have attracted the opprobium, contempt,
derision and scorn of the entire international community
and the derision of major corporate investors and multi-
national corporations.
The only thing that they are good at doing is blaming
President Jonathan and indeed all past PDP Presidents
and governments, including President Obasanjo, for their
failures and inability to perform.
They are also pretty good at conducting media trials and
witchunts and indulging in Soviet-style propaganda and
the demonisation of their perceived enemies.
Yet most frightening of all is the fact that our President is
out of touch with reality. He does not appear to be living
in the 21st century.
His solutions and remedies to the complex economic
problems of a modern-nation state in 2016 are the same
ones that he proffered and which failed him woefully
when he was military Head of State between 1983 and
1985. We really appear to be going down the drain under
his leadership.
I pray that God intervenes soon and does something
extraordinary because this accursed government simply
has to go.
They have divided us along religious and ethnic lines
more than any government in our entire history. They
have come to spread poverty and distribute shame.
They have sought to islamise our country, demean our
faith, disgrace the Church and undermine our Christian
leaders and clerics.
They have destabilised our nation and undermined our
unity to such an extent that the majority of our people
secretly despise and covertly pray against the
continuation of a united Nigeria.

Spot The Difference - Janet Ekong Writes
They have brought us to our very knees, turned us into a
nation of beggars and paupers and reduced us to
cowardly and timid slaves.
They seek to break us, cause us to crawl, crush our
spirits, torment our souls and compel us to accept a
North Korean-style system of government with its cultic
worship of a maximum ruler who sees himself as a
demi-god and deity that must be obeyed and worshipped
by all.
Such is Mr. Presidents desire and craving for worship
and such has the spirit if narcissus seized and
possessed him that he even had a man arrested,
detained and prosecuted for daring to name his dog after
him.
Yet thankfully they will fail in their quest because the
Living God, from whom nothing is hidden, will not allow
them to succeed. They will fail because ultimately good
will always prevail over evil.
They will fail because no matter what they do they cannot
separate us from the love of the Lord. They will fail
because the God that we serve is mighty and He is
faithful to His own.
Permit me to digress. I have been reliably informed that
my life and liberty has become a major source of
irritation and anger for the maximum ruler.
I have been told that he hates me so much that he has
issued orders that his gestapo should come for me again
and this time around to torture me or even poison me
whilst I am in their custody. Yet I count it all as joy.
I laugh them all to scorn. If only they knew the God that I
serve. If only they could comprehend the nature of He
who sent me and who works through me.
If only they knew the source of their numerous problems
and why they are going through all that they are going
through. If only they knew why they are groping in
hopelessness, dancing with failure and hobbling in the
dark.
If only they knew that you cannot fight against the Holy
Spirit or battle against the Lord. If only they knew the
power of God and the efficacy and power of the scripture
that says “touch not my annointed and do my prophets
no harm”.
As long as they seek to do nothing but pursue, demean,
misrepresent, destroy and kill the defenceless and
innocent who have done no wrong, the Angel of the Lord
will continue to pursue them along a dark and slippery
path.
He will frustrate all their efforts, plagues shall torment
them, failure shall trail them and peace shall continue to
elude them.
For the record the bottom line is as follows: yours truly
would rather die than be silenced or be compelled to
bow down and worship Baal and his accursed disciples.
As long as there is breath in me, no matter what, I will
exercise my God-given right of expression and I will fight
and oppose the evil soul that presides over the affairs of
our nation because he has brought nothing but suffering,
hardship, pain, shame and tears to our people and to our
land.
He is the proverbial “darkness that seeks the darkness”.
Yet, in the end, his own darkness will overwhelm him and
the light and power of the Living God will bring him
down to his knees and remove him from his exalted and
dizzy heights.
And if I should fall before that time, posterity will be kind
to me and men will know that there once lived a man
who spoke the bitter truth about the powers that once
were and who saw tomorrow.
Yet the beast remains as relentless as ever because, like
satan, his time is short. Worse still he has turned on his
own.
It is no longer Goodluck Jonathan, his wife, his loyalists
and leading members of the PDP that are being targeted
anymore.
Now the erstwhile allies and friends of Baal’s tiny cabal
within the ruling party itself have also been listed for
“special attention” and the torments of the evil eye in the
next few months and years even if they don’t know it yet.
Such is the nature and way of Baal. He simply does not
know when to stop. Like Pharaoh his heart has been
hardened unto destruction so that, at the end of the day,
when nemesis catches up with him, the name of the
Lord will be glorified.
Like Nebuchadnezzar, he will be brought to his knees
and he will crawl like a grass-eating beast in the forest
until his eyes are opened and he acknowledges the
majesty and awesome power of the Lord God of Hosts
and the Ancient of Days.
Happy independence day. |
