...AND OBASANJO WROTE JONATHAN!




In recent times, I have tried to think about 2015 and what it will mean to the Nigerian nation. I am wondering seriously because the breadth of fresh air which the Goodluck administration promised us is gradually becoming stale. I used to strongly be a pro
Goodluck person but how I wish I can still proudly say that now. We Nigerians do not know how to agitate and even when we do, it is laced with ulterior motives and various forms of sentiments if not, we deserve more accountability than we are being given currently. Why must government continue to serve as a get-rich-quick system in the Nigerian society.?
I have read with dismay the 18-page Obasanjo's letter and I am somewhat amused. Obasanjo is genuinely concerned about the state of affairs in the nation but that is simply because he is no longer the one wearing the shoe. As a General, being in power and issuing command is like a birth right but now, times have changed.
The Obasanjo letter has opened up a lot that deserves some deep thought but when it comes from a man who funded third term bid, it leaves much to be desired.
With all these inherent bitterness from many quarters and some sublime agitations for ethnic supremacy, what is the hope of our nation come 2015? Who shall take our nation into the promised land? Is it PDP or APC? Who is as detribalised and as experienced enough as to go for us come 2015?
The problem is that in the absence of a better option, everything might gravitate towards Jonathan again while the power-desperate north will still keep making the country ungovernable. My friends, when will quality of person and value consciousness triumph over some kangaroo ethnic and tribalism sentiments?When will competence over rule nepotism and partisanship?  Who will fearlessly dare to lead us into that Nigerian dream where we are in word and in deed the Giant of Africa?
I pray that Nigeria will continue to stand as one united entity for I can not bear to recite to my children, There Was A Country, and then I will be referring to Nigeria instead of Biafra. With what is happening, I feel a serious lack of sincerity in the current administration; especially towards corruption. If truth is told without sentiments, Nigerians cannot endure a slow-paced administration for another four years. No, we need something better!
For Mr President, GCFR, I believe you mean well for the nation and you have the key but where is the will? Please for the sake of posterity, fight the good fight against corruption no matter whose ox is gored and let your critics be drowned in a sea of your good works.
For you my friends, please don't give up on our nation but while you hold on, remember to fight your own fight of relevance for when the chips are down, only those who fold their hands shall be at a huge loss.
May God grant us a heart of wisdom!
D-Motivator.
