After The Noise, The Hoopla And The Jubilation Its Time Now To Sober And Reason by BabaRamota1980: 5:04am On Jul 25, 2018
The looser in yesterday drama was definitely "The People".

We are faced with dramatization of the Hero and the Villain.

Let's review and get good grip on what's happening.

1. Saraki continues to deny knowledge of Offa robbery but is dodgy on his connection as distribution point for the weapons used in murdering 31 persons.

He cannot be guilty of intent to rob but will find it almost impossible to escape culpability on accessory to crime.

"The People" are the loosers on this controversy. We empower politicians to raype our conscience.

Is Saraki Hero or Villain here?

I say Villain!


2. It is too easy to sabotage a party for political power play. Political survivors are refusing to relinquish power and victory. Rather than compete and prove their political worth to the voters, they follow the mainstream swing and dump one party for another in an act as simple as just giving a press briefing to announce the crossover. They are unwilling to abdicate positions or loose out gallantly in a face off with opposition.

This is bad for "The People". Mediocres are recycling incompetencies and dis-empowering us from intervening to correct and steer the nation to greatness.

What are carpetbaggers, Hero or Villain?

I say they are Villains!


3. Senate business is adjourned till September. There are statutory functions that specifically are designated as Senate duties and must run concurrent with government calendar.

Government is still doing business. Who and how will these duties be performed in the two months Senate will be out?

Bills passed by HoR need review and concur of the Senate before reaching President's desk.

When Senate is out against Government schedule, then certain critical functions of the lower legislative House is held up. The House is "The People".

With Senate out during schedule, the Presidency now has unimpeded liberty to issue Executive Orders and imply legislative authority to make its desires come true. Previously, Senate acting in concert with HoR have had some degree of success to oppose Presidency and block Executive Orders.

Who can stop Buhari now?

What was Saraki thinking?

Who looses here? "The People"!

I say Saraki is definitely a Villain.


4. If Buhari is believed to have unleash terror in 2011 after he lost to Jonathan, and that he promised if the election of 2015 was rigged (a code for "if he didnt win"wink the baboon and the dog will be soaked in blood, and both times he did not have the command of security forces in his palm....imagine now what he can do with heads of all security parastatals share ethnicity and religion with him and are on his payroll. Add to this equation the armed fulani herdsmen that have deployed to every nook and cranny in every state.

Buhari is not Jonathan. He has nothing to loose. All his children and grandchildren are in North. All his investments are in North. If he is insensitive to Nigerians getting massacred in MiddleBelt, what bother is it to him if Nigerians are massacred in South?

If he is unperturbed by the imbalance in security appointments and the use of Army to shield fulani herdsmen from reprisal attacks and as well aid their assault missions into villages and towns....who told you he will be disturbed by the impending bloodshed if the election is rigged (he didnt win. grin) in 2019?

Does the next two months afford him the free hand to perfect political plans without oversight of the Legislature? You bet!


Two Villains on this one.
Buhari and Saraki both.


5. Has Babachir Lawal been prosecuted for theft? Has Maina (the pension fund thief) and those that aided his return and promotion been prosecuted yet, or even sacked? Why are bokoharam criminals released as swaps for hostages, were these kidnaps precalculated as collaterals for prison swaps? Why are Army barracks still being invaded and their armoury looted, five years in a row without a stop-gap measure? Is there some clandestine operation involving Ports Authority, Customs and National Security?

Buhari is reclaiming for North what Sardauna had wished in sentiments and Abacha had started but didnt live long to succeed. He plans to cement a long lasting domination under which successive Northern rulers will exercise full autocratic order. Arewa is in support of his evil template.


Buhari is a Villain here.



So my fellow Nigerians, we have no HERO! The two forces facing off are both VILLAINS. Whatever storm or tragedy befalls this nation in the aftermath of this confrontation, We "The People" are the loosers.

I therefore urge you to stop cheering Saraki or Buhari.

If Im asked who I want to be my HERO my answer will be RESTRUCTURING!

Restructuring Amaka! grin

Quite so! But buhari ll realise he is not educated enough to carry out this complex task in a modern world which illiteracy has deprived him of understanding.

Thank you Babaramota for this piece. At first, I had a deep seated hatred for Buhari and his administration as I see them clueless and vision less that do not even know what to do with power, the herdsmen issue and the likes.
However, looking at the drama playing out now, I have come to the conclusion that these NASS members are the problems in the polity. They make it look as if they have the interest of the masses at heart when in actual fact their constituent members never sent them all they are doing.
Adopting Oshiomole's party discipline will be good as it used to be in the first republic. They were elected on a platform so their seats should be declared vacant!
The painful part is the ones here that will be shouting likes for APC, share for PDP. These politicians don't care about you all.
