It's almost a rule. It eludes those who desperately seek it.

Buhari broke the jinx..but not after he had tried, cried and resigned.

It must have looked at him with pity. It had dribbled him into exhaustion. Then it fell on his laps.

It started with Tafawa Balewa. Sarduana was the leader. He passed it on.

Aguiyi Ironsi wasnt thinking about it. Then Nzeogwu fell the tree and literally into his hands.

Gowon wasnt dreaming it . Those who took it from Aguiyi gave it to him to hold for them.

Mohammed and co went for it. Mohammed took it but couldnt hold it. Dimka took down Mohammed and rolled into Obasanjos path. Cowardly Obasanjo cowered. But he was literally forced to take it.

Shehu Shagari wasnt in the picture. But bags of ego collided and humble Shagari became the truce.

Awolowo and Azikiwe stayed on the sidelines and licked their own wounds.

Then the army came again. They didnt trust themselves so they looked for one whose words they could take to the bank. They gave it to a spartan, Buhari.

Buhari brought Idiagbon in and it became their way or the highway. And they were shoved aside.

After Buhari and his Idiagbon the soldiers feared too much military discipline . They found a politician in army uniform. Babangida , though , seemed to have nursed quiet ambitions for it for a long time.

Vasta tried to take him out and end the sloppiness. He was shoved into a grave.

Babangida flirted with ideas. He became president. He wanted to stay forever but Abacha bared his fangs.

An imminent vacancy was declared. Shehu Yaradua thought it was his for the taking. They labelled him a contraband.

Abiola plotted for it . And had one hand on it but Babagida and company couldnt stand his ego.

Babagida stayed put and planned to stay forever. But Abacha bared his fangs again.

IBB hurriedly stepped aside and dropped it for Ernest Shonekan.

Ernest Shonekan honestly didn't have the guts.

Poor Shonekan, indignant Abiola people called him a usurper and denied him legitimacy. And egged Abacha on.

Abacha took it supposedly to restore Abiola but Abacha found the apple to sweet to forego.

He told Abiola to let sleeping dogs lie.

Shehu Yaradua who had always dreamt of it was liquidated in Abacha's prison

Abacha planned to stay forever but he ate an Indian apple and he died.

It seemed Abiola could resurrect. But a heart attack a few weeks later buried all him and his resurgent hopes

It fell on gentle Abdulsalam. Abdulsalam didn't want to take chances. Abdulsalam dusted a bankrupt Obasanjo and handed it over to him.

Obasanjo tasted it a second time and planned to stay forever. The National Asembly stopped him. He made some stubborn heads bleed.

Tired , shackled and frustrated, he looked around and handed it to a humble but sick Yaradua. And put gentle Jonathan beside him.

Atiku cried and cried.

Yaradua died. The cabal danced around like a headless chicken . It rolled over to Jonathan.

Jonathan did his best hold on to it. It seemed too big for him .He shrugged off a challenge from Buhari ..and Buhari cried into retirement.

Jonathan struggled. But held onto it. It was too sweet.

Fate looked at a Buhari it had turned inside out and brought him to face Jonathan.

Jonathan was roundly defeated. Buhari got it after he all but had given up.

It seems made for the underdogs.

Beware of Osinbajo.

There is a reason he became known as the StarBoyVP long ago. The name reminds me of MVP. Even his enemies recognize he is well loved across all divides. They are scared shitless by his studied silence. This is very apt as they have continued showing their foolishness with all the cooked up, faceless fake news we see flying around social media.

At first they thought he was a dog that can't bite but now the reality is dawning on them. Now, Osinbajo is the lion in their jungle roaring day and night to their chagrin

Lovely piece. It will really be lovely to have Osinbajo be the number one citizen as his vision for the movement of this Country is crystal clear. He is very diligent and hardworking and we all know this, he is certainly the most active VP Nigeria has ever had. Hoping to have him around for much longer.

Nigerians or should I say Biafrians are talented. Op you did tried to come up with this write ups.

Don't ever look down on an hard working man with integrity. He is focus, determined, energetic and full of wisdom
