| Breaking News Yaradua's Health - We Are All Clueless Those In Power And Us by KnowAll(m): 10:34am On Dec 11, 2009 |
We are all in the dark those of us in Australia 12,000 miles away and those In the Corridors of Power. What I have come to realise of recent with regards to Yardua’s illness is that even I that lives in London some 6,000 miles away from Nigeria and my other Nigerian brothers and sisters who are at the ends of the earth in Australia which is about 12,000 miles away are all in the same boat, we are all in the dark, as clueless as those in the corridors of power, our only reliable source, did I say reliable source of information are the numerous internet forums. I will not be surprise at the muted revelation that some members of the FEC had to go online to ascertain the state of origin of the VP. I and many other Nigerian brothers and sisters all over the world have the same knowledge, agitation, and anxieties as our VP, FEC Ministers and the House of Assembly members with regards to Yaradua’s health There seems to be a new past-time in the country, the race to breaking an exclusive news on Yaradua’s health, any one of 150 million of us can come up with the next round of pokies about the sorry state of Yardua’s health. Even the first Lady, Turai Yaradua can be caught unawares by the stories coming out from the posh wards of the Saudi hospital, her knowing that her husband’s condition has being a topsy-turvy affair. She is still trying to forget the unsettling events of last week when she decided to take a leak in one of the numerous gold plated toilets, only to return to the ward to witness her husband oscillating between heaven and Earth as if the President was running an errand between the two worlds. Now she has resolved to give anything written on-line the benefit of the doubt and some credence. There is also fierce competition going on out there of whom will come up with the next big hullabaloo. From information sourced within the corridors of power, it is said the Senate President is, in an undeclared and his unaware that he is in a subtle competition with Dimeji Bankole the Speaker of the House on who will broke the next sets of cock and bull stories making the rounds. Every top government official are taking the loyalty stakes into the stratosphere. The VP who for fear of his own life has restricted people visiting him in the Night, and has decided to quarantine and lock himself indoors in a self imposed house arrest ( That is first in Nigeria ) . Last week in other to prove his relevance to the polity and show he is no weakling he came out with his own rather obnoxious cock and bull and probably hen story. The VP in an attempt to beat other news breakers to yet another stream of unfolding and unverifiable news about the President’ health, the VP said he actually had a chat with the president on the phone and he assured Nigerians he would soon return to the country. But other News chasers just like hurricane chaser, felt it would be better they go to the eye of the storm and get the news, these storm chasers on getting to Jeddah quietly and carefully debunked the VP’s claim, arguing that they are only a few blocks from the Hospital and news filtering back to them is that the President is in a bad state and seeing him is more or less a mission impossible. They informed willing ears around that the VP’s comment is only a ruse to settle the minds of Nigerians as if Nigerians are any worried. These storm chaser’s or is it news chasers realising they cannot go home empty handed and in other to safe face came up with their own version of yet another speculative story informing Nigerians that the President sends his greetings having wasted our commonwealth on a wild goose chase to a foreign country. The ambassador to Saudi, realising his vantage position came up with the biggest hola of all that the President is doing just fine, in fact he watched the on going champions league matches. This claim has also being de-bunked, by reliable sources in Aso – Rock that the president could not have watched the Champions league matches in his current state, the argument was that even the under 17 world cup matches which could have aroused the president’s interest out of patriotism, he could not manage to watch a single match how much more some European teams playing each other. Looks like Mr Ambassador’s fables and tales from midnight has hit a brick-wall, he has to go back onto the drawing board and come up with something a lot smarter and befitting an Ambassador, what does he take Nigerians for.  |
