[OPINION] Wake up, Mr President

I heard this truth from a Caribbean comedian about the joke of democracy. A nine-year-old boy asked his father:Father responded: “Let me put it this simple way to you. I have to provide for you. So, I am the CAPITALIST. You are the PEOPLE. Your mother who keeps the family money is the GOVERNMENT. The babysitter who watches you and your brother is the WORKING CLASS; and your baby brother is the FUTURE.

It is not untrue that these times in Nigeria are trying and tiring. Everywhere you go, there are sighs, which signal that all may not be too well for many Nigerians digging wells without finding water of comfort. At present, there is a quiet but palpable tension hitting the four walls of Aso Rock where men in charge of the nation’s business do their confusing business daily.

The extant hubbub in the presidency has the fingerprints of one man all over it. He is Abba Kyari, the President’s Chief-of-Staff. Kyari, we heard, was singlehandedly brought up by Mamman Daura, the President’s powerful nephew and the most influential person in the Presidency today. If Monguno’s allegations are true, I ask what does Kyari, a lawyer and businessman, know about military reconnaissance operations and war strategies? Who gave him the authority to command men appointed to be commanders of men who have chosen to lay down their lives for Nigeria?

Where is the Buhari who once spoke these words before his first election in 2015: “I have led this country and I have a record. We were not perfect, but we were effective. We solved problems, there was Maitatsine ravaging the North-East and we dealt with it. We also overran the Chadian rebels. We rebuilt industries, Nigerians queued up and treated each other with respect. Nigerians took pride in our reputation for discipline. The world admired us. We were proud to be Nigerians”.

Like Lazarus?

He is dead, he cant wake up. Jubrin El-sudani would soon join and the zoo goes into extinction.

I think he's having a 3-day sleep. This Corona virus outbreak that has caused panic since the break of the news of it out break, and the leader of the so called country is yet to say anything to calm the citizens he leads. This 'i don't care' attitude of him is unbecoming.

Someone should put a public address system in his ears
