About 5000 years ago, citizens of the great Nation, Israel, disturbed God for a king not appreciating the efforts of Samuel. In his infinite mercies, He granted their wish and gave them ‘Saul’ but at the end of the process was deceit, corruption, covetousness and ruin.

A very similar scenery is playing out in our land, Nigeria. A couple of months back, Nigerians were supposedly clamoring for a phantasmagorical change, as they claimed to be tired of the PDP /GEJ led administration. God also did what he knows how to do best and gave them a King according to their request.

Much was expected after the swearing in, from the military dictator who became a democratic President hoping that he will repent from his ways, but the reverse seems to be the case as Nigeria as a whole is going from a state of attention to a state of quagmire with the turn of events.

DECEIT;

During the electioneering period, Mr Muhammadu Buhari and his campaign team promised the expectant Nigerians “heaven on earth”, but its very pitiful that most of these promises have been denied secretly and publicity. Reports emanating from the streets of Nigeria indicates that the youths are highly disgruntled with the leadership of the country.

We all wait to see what goes down eventually, Saul deceived the people of the land and tried to deceive God. A very striking comparison!

CORRUPTION;

During the campaigns, we were made to understand that Muhammadu Buhari was poor enough to borrow his Nomination form, only to declare half of his assets and we were all stunned. Other facts have also left the citizenry applied at this government’s hypocritical nature is the N6.5billion to maintain jets, N20billion REMITA funds, N2.1billion to attend seminars and a host of others. We have also heard about how our Nation is broke and the president is spending heavily. The so-called fight against corruption is nothing to write home about, because on a daily basis, the President is wining and dinning with those who have rob the country of her commonwealth.

Saul was also very good at trying to be magnanimously selfish in his dealings and it tells a lot about this present Government.

FUEL SCARCITY;

The president, who doubles as the Hon Minister for Petroleum Resources has not been able to set up a structure befitting to rid off corruption from the oil sector for the past few months he’s assumed office. The price of fuel has increased to N400 per litre in some states according to reports.

BOKO HARAM;

In just 6 months, it is highly visible that Nigeria has failed in curbing one of its greatest nemesis: Terrorism. We are gradually loosing our international recognition. The war is not being fought as it ought to, just like it was witnessed with Saul.

Saul ended his leadership on a very pitiable note and I fear this government is also moving along that plane. I wait for the David that will kill tens of thousands, kill the Goliaths of our terrorism battle and our fight against the uncircumcised Philistines.

Could President Muhammadu Buhari be our modern day Saul whose story was penciled down in the Holy Bible?

Time will tell.

Lol... See them

These Jonathanian wailers will soon mourn themselves to death. Very soon they would start mutilating their own flesh in self protests. May I remind some of you guys that have refused to be objective that this man you love to hate so much, this man you chose to judge his performance from his first day, this man will be your president till 2019 at least and possibly till 2023. Whatever the case, GEJ is never going to come back. You guys should learn to live with that or you can do yourselves and the world a favour by hugging a wet transformer.

even PDP that was shamefully defeated has accepted its fate.

you are still wailing and weeping

what's your own, mr-crying-more-than-the-bereaved.
