BUHARI BELONGS TO HIMSELF AND TO THE NORTH

BUHARI BELONGS TO HIMSELF AND TO THE NORTH

“Mene, Mene, Tekel, Urpharsin.” I wish to refer president Buhari and Nigerians to this inscription in the holy book. And wish both parties would have the eye to read the hand writing on the wall. I would not go deep to dwell on the meaning of these words and verse in the holy book, rather, for the purpose of this article would only dwell on the third word,”Tekel” which means,

“You have been weighed on the scale and found wanting.”

On May 29, 2015 Buhari during his inauguration speech said to Nigerians, “I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody.” But 3 months after this declaration, from the president’s actions and body language, his loquacity is contrary. You need not be told where and whom he belongs to so far. It is said that, action speaks louder than voice. From Buhari’s appointments to key positions in his government since inception where about 95% of those positions went to the North calls for Nigerians especially the South Easterners to read the hand writing on the wall.

To the Igbos, Buhari is back and out to subdue Igbos to be hewers of wood and drawers of water in Nigeria to vent his spleen on them for the cause of Biafra. A mission he was set out to pursue during his draconian rule in 1984, but was caught short. For this same cause he was quick to put the late Igbo and Biafra leader, Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu into ten months of incarceration in Kiri-Kiri for no just cause, while the Northern politicians who held sway under Shagari were accorded special treatments under house arrests. So far, Buhari seems to be playing the character of Shakespeare’s Julius Caeser, of whom Cassius described as saying;

“He doth bestride the narrow world like a colossus, and we petty men walk under his huge legs and peep about to find ourselves dishonorable graves.”

After taking the most juicy and spicy part of the cake to the North, it does not matter what remains, or goes to the rest of Nigerians all in the name of meritocracy. From his actions and one sided appointments, he seem to be biased and is flagrantly exhibiting insensivity to the federal character and to the feelings of other ethnic groups across the country. To those who are in favor and are quick to defend his actions, they say it is too early to judge, and its question of meritocracy. I think to say that, is like one reasoning through the anus.

“A chick that will grow into a cock can be spotted the very day it hatches.”

For those who argue that the issue in question is of meritocracy and not a question of where one comes from but a matter of who can deliver. My question is; Is it only in the North that you have meritorious and credible people? I think that is an understatement, very derogatory and ridiculous, which depicts that other ethnic groups or sections of Nigerians are fools and made up of mediocrities. Among the West, East, and Southern group of Nigerians are not found people worthy, and meritorious enough like their northern counterparts to occupy the key positions so far appointed by the president. If you are talking of fighting corruption and change, is it not the same region that has held and occupied the political dynasty of Nigeria more than other ethnic groups both in the military and civilian governments in Nigeria since independent.

For the past 90 days now, our media and press have been uploaded with the hype, fight against corruption, who to probe and whom not to probe, without any headway yet. In as much as I am against corruption and am not against those who have looted the nation to be probed. For there to be probity, let president Buhari probe his conscience first. The appointments so far made are they free and fair and void of sectional leanings and biased?

“He who comes into equity must come with clean hands”

No doubt other appointments are to be made, but they would not be as relevant as the key ones already made. The substance has been taken while the chaffs will go to the non-meritorious Nigerians. While this imbalance by the president is going on, even under democratic rule, many Nigerians are there praise singing the president instead of drawing his attention to the hand writing on the wall. From the way things are going, south easterners may wake up one day only to find out that northerners have been appointed to take over their wives because they are not meritorious enough to be husbands. For that, am now guarding my wife jealously with civil guards.

President Buhari, I like you as a person, and would want you to succeed as a president. And to do that you should remember that you are the president of Nigeria and your actions should reflect that. I have not written you off. I believe you can still make things right, if only you can see the hand writing on the wall “TEKEL” and realize that from your actions so far, you have been found wanting. And if only you will pay heed and learn from history and retrace your steps and repent, then “Mene, Mene” would not be your portion.

FIFA presidency: Igbo youths in Spain drum support for Kalu

BY OUR REPORTER ON AUGUST 29, 2015SPORTS

…Say his FIFA’s bid is Africa’s dream

FROM CHIDI NNADI, ENUGU

The call for former Abia State governor and Africa’s Pillar of Sports, Dr Orji Uzor Kalu, to contest the Federation of Inter­national Football Association (FIFA) presidency has received a boost from far away Spain as Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council (OYC) in that country has joined in the call.

The leader of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council (OYC) in Spain, Hon. Uchendu Precious Onuoha made the call while ad­dressing Igbo youths during their recent congress in Madrid.

The leader of the group in a statement made available to Saturday Sun said: “Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu’s bid for the top most position, as president of the world’s highest football ruling body known as the Federation of International Football Associa­tion (FIFA) is not just a personal ambition rather a response to a yearning call by Africa for some­one to stand the gap.

“It is beyond ethnic divide, it cuts across national boundaries, it is the quest of Africa, it is the dream of Africa, and it is Africa versus the rest of the world.”

He, therefore, urged the youths to support Kalu’s bid, who he likened his decision to the bibli­cal saying: “I heard the Lord’s voice saying, whom shall I send, and who will go for us? And I say, here am I, send me”.

Onuoha pointed out that Africa has been yearning for someone over the years that would step out and go for them.

He said: “And none was bold and courageous enough until Kalu recently volunteered to pay heed to the voice of Africa and decided to take the bull by the horn. Kalu’s laudable desire to take a shot at the world’s highest reigning football position is the best thing that c ould happen to Nigeria and Africa.”

The Ohanaeze youths leader advised Kalu to discard the voices of myopic and feeble minded ones who may raise dis­senting voices trying to distract and scuttle his ambition and vision.

“To a determined mind, no height is un-attainable. Kalu, as a pace-setter has all it takes to grab that position if given the necessary support,” Onuoha said.

He said that it was wrong for anyone to think that Kalu be­cause he is black man or African would go there as an underdog or play a second fiddle.

“Rather Kalu is a man, and no man irrespective of colour or race is foreign to him,” pointing out that inferiority complex has sometimes hindered many Af­ricans to go for greater heights on international scenes and competitions.

He noted that on one-to-one basis, Kalu has all it takes to tower above other contenders.

Onuoha, therefore, said that OYC would reach out to all Afri­can youths in Spain and Europe to draw support for Kalu, the Pillar of Sports in Africa even as he called on all well-meaning Nigerians and Africans both at home and in the Diaspora to rally round Kalu in his bid to pilot FIFA affairs, saying that it is Africa’s wish and dream.

Also speaking, the Secretary General, Uzoma Amaechi, noted that, “Kalu’s pedigree as a tested administrator and former governor, his achievements for making Nigeria proud through Enyimba Football club to win the elusive CAF competition, and his accomplishments as Africa’s Pillar of Sports are very good credentials for him to vie for the FIFA presidency.”

Also the enthusiastic OYC youths commended and pledged their unanimous support for Kalu.

The Story Of A Typical African Child

Title: The Road We Traveled: A Memoir Of Two Worlds

Author: Uchendu Precious Onuoha

Reviewer: Yemi Adebisi

Publisher: iUniverse

The Road We Traveled… is a lucid prose, captivating and inspiring. It tells the story of Uchendu, a lad from an idyllic rural setting in Nigeria, who sought for greener pasture in the Whiteman’s country. It has deep lessons to be derived from, even as it is informative and entertaining.

This event filled book catalogues the writer’s odyssey through life, from his early childhood experiences to his present day realities, and it is both frank and philosophical in its interpretation of his encounters and the circumstances surrounding each episode, from the sweet, the bittersweet to the downright unsavory but the great charm and magnetic appeal of this book lies in its surreptitious humor and some of the hilarious incidents that are captured within it is delightfully engaging and highlights a few life lessons which remain constant through the ages. It is, above all, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit against all odds and in the course of his voyage of discovery. The writer, by his reactions at every instance gives credence to the oft quoted maxim that there is no chance, no destiny, no fate that can hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul.

Uchendu Precious Onuoha has wittily created a cosmic realities of today’s global village from a fistful memories of his background.

The Road We Travelled holds in it what the great literary works can hold because not only that it submerges you but also it takes you deeply through history lanes into the socio-economic, political and cultural divides between the North and South.

It is a wonderful book about the in quietude of the writer to search and discover facts outside the sphere of his infant and rudimentary knowledge, written with exuberance to entertain and refresh the minds of its readers, a book which each page must be read and reread in order to savour its wisdom and message.

It is carefully constructed, sensitive to issues that matter and funny enough that it creates a conducive atmosphere and a rethink for both those in the diaspora and the home-based folks.

The record the author of The Road We Traveled,  Uchendu Precious Onuoha, has put together will always be there for posterity to read and learn from.

Apart from the author’s biography which it represents, it has come to break the silence or rather, the TABU and veto implicit on talking openly about our individual adventure to Europe. From the time our people started scrambling to travel to Europe and the developed World in search for a better future and knowledge, nobody has so far dared tell the true story of their own personal experiences in the sojourn in the “Land of milk and honey”, bringing out comprehensibly the discrimination, total rejection and other hostilities Africans undergo in Europe and which they keep silent about, thereby inducing others to follow their footsteps and depriving that continent of her youth.

Onuoha, author, is the Foreign Correspondent of the Daily Independent Newspaper in Spain.

He is a member of Association of Nigerian Authors (ANA), Nigerian Union of Journalist (NUJ).The Coordinator of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council (OYC) Spain. He works at Madrid International Airport. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Mass communication from Atlantic International University (AIU) Honolulu Hawaii U.S.A. Diploma, Flight Despatcher from Panamedia School of Pilots, Mallorca Spain.

BIANCA LEAVES FOOTPRINTS IN SPAIN

                                                                  July 25,2015

Bianca Ojukwu

BIANCA LEAVES  FOOTPRINTS IN SPAIN

By Uchendu Precious Onuoha - Spain

“Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail” Ralph Waldo Emerson. 

That is truly Bianca’s case. Before she came to Spain as an ambassador, Spain held little or no appeal to head of missions and diplomats. But today after her work, Spain has become a hot cake, a beautiful bride and a delight for all would be ambassadors. It has become one of the most sought after destination in the world desirable by all the old and new ambassadors waiting for new diplomatic assignments and postings. And whoever that would be coming after her, would have less to accomplish but would really have much to do to sustain the structures she has already put in place for the welfare of Nigerian citizens in the kingdom of Spain.

Some people are born or groomed up to be more equal than others. Not in the balanced principles of doctrine of humanity before Deity and the law but in the significant imparts, visions they uphold, and contributions they make in their life and time. Bianca, as ambassador was a discovery, a revelation in the history of Nigerian ambassadors to Spain as none has made an indelible mark and accomplishments more than she did. And her footprints will always remain in the sand of time in the kingdom of Spain. She served a multi-purpose role and character to Nigerians in Spain. She was the Florence Nitingale the lady with lamp, saving lives. She was the mother Teresa, giving hope to thousands of her compatriots. And the good shepherd who cared for her flock.

During her three years of exciting and memorable stint as ambassador, Bianca had answer to the needs of Nigerians in Spain. Through her laudable activities Bianca’s presence and fame loomed all over Spain and beyond, and she was like a sweet song in the lips of Nigerians, Africans and a delight to the Spanish. She towered high above all other African ambassadors in the kingdom of Spain. According to the Kenyan and Gambian ambassadors in Spain, Bianca is not just a Nigerian ambassador but African ambassador, we are so proud of her. That was even before she won the award as the best and most outstanding African ambassador in Europe in 2014. Like the queen of Sheba, from Austria, Holland, London, Germany and other parts of Europe, Nigerians trooped in to herald Bianca’s magic wand in Spain. Engrossed in her job, day and night did not make any difference to her as far as duty called.  

It’s not the number of years that one occupies in a position that counts, but the ones occupied how much was gained. Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu’s three years were indeed gain for Nigerians in Spain. In what way one may ask. But in many ways. I would start the chronicles of her feats in Spain by making reference to the symbolic connotation of the veil of the tabernacle during the history of Israel in the wilderness. The veil was a barrier to make sure that man could not irreverently enter into God’s awesome presence. A place no ordinary person could enter. So the presence of God remained shielded from God’s own people. However Jesus death on the cross changed that and the veil was thorn in half paving way for God’s presence to be accessible to all His people. Bianca removed all barriers that made the embassy inaccessible to Nigerians. And she made Nigerians who before dreaded to come to the embassy because of the way they were treated, to realize that the embassy is their last sanctuary and she said to them, come, we are here to serve you. Among the things Bianca would be remembered for in Spain are,

She made Nigerians to obey the laws of the host country and Spain in return to respect the rights of Nigerians in their midst.

She stopped the deportation of Nigerians by Spain without proof of evidence of having certified all the due process binding the two countries in that respect. In one occasion, she ordered a Spanish security officer out of her office for asking her to sign a document for deportation of some Nigerians. The officer who said that’s how they used to do that before was dumb founded when she asked for the court order and proof of all other applicable measures that must be fulfilled before that could be carried out.

In another occasion, on getting report about a Nigerian citizen that was deported without the due process, after investigations, she prevailed on the Spanish authorities to repatriate the citizen back to Spain. A rare feat unheard of by any Nigerian mission anywhere.

She reduced the price of passport fee for Nigerians in Spain.

She arranged for Nigerian police to come to Spain to prepare police report, a requisite for obtaining Spanish residence permit thereby  alleviating the problems Nigerians who do not have legitimate documents to travel to Nigeria may encounter in that respect. Subsequent to that, to save Nigerians of the pains of the police report, she made a strong case on the need for the Spanish authority to issue a certificate of good conduct as an alternative for the police report. A matter which is receiving favorable attention by the Spanish government before her exit.

She rescued and recovered dozens of Nigerian children whom their parents due to their economic down turn, involuntarily handed over their siblings to the Spanish people for adoption. She said to them these are Nigerian citizens we need them. And these children sometimes with their parents were taken back to their families in Nigeria. Also she rescued dozens of Nigerians who were wasting away there lifetime, living as destitute and have lost hope in life.  Like a mother who cannot forget her suckling child, she recovered dozens of such Nigerian citizens from the streets of Spain and sent them back to their families in Nigeria for rehabilitation.

Bianca made it possible that in the event of deportation of any Nigerian by the Spanish government, his properties and all he has labored for was secured and handed over to him before he is taken back to Nigeria.

She established an emergency rapid response team. A crack squad of embassy staff who responded rapidly to cases of Nigerians in dire need of attention and assistance in all parts of Spain. This squad visited Nigerians in detention, prisons, and death incidents, among others and made sure that they were not unjustly detained or their rights as citizens infringed upon.

She visited instantly the spot of a murdered Nigerian girl in Bilbao  (Ada Otua) by a Spanish Shaolin martial arts master. And she made the authorities concerned to realize that the life of any Nigerian citizen is valued much and ensured that adequate compensation was given to the victim’s family and punishment given to the culprit according to the law.

She renovated the Nigerian embassy and chancery buildings and made them befitting structures comfortable for the citizens staff and diplomats alike.

Bianca reached out to Nigerians in Spain by holding town hall meetings where she had interactive sessions addressing their problems and educating them to make the best use of opportunies offered by the host country to improve their lives and to always remember that Nigeria is their home. Time and space will fail me to continue to highlight on the numerous giant strides and feats the dynamic ambassador accomplished in Spain.

The news about Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu‘s exit was like sunset at dawn to Nigerians in Spain. There was gloom all over their countenances. Many wished that it was a dream not comes true. Who else would do for us what Madam has done for us some asked? She was so nice. No doubt, Nigerians in Spain would really miss her while her footprints will ever remain in the sand of time.

The OYC vow to deal with all those responsible for the frustration of Geometric power plant owned by the world renowened robotics Engineer Prof  Barth Nnaji.

THE MANDATED AND THE MANDATOR

THE MANDATED AND THE MANDATOR.

(PART OF THE SERIES; BUHARI ARE YOU THE ONE? By Uchendu Precious Onuoha)

In Nigeria, whenever elections are held, there are words that are so synonymous with the Nigerian journalist and the elite class to describe the emerging scenario thereof. Words such as….“Mandate” or impasse are used sporadically by all to paint the real picture of the nation.

What is mandate? I will not be wasting my precious time illustrating what mandate means than telling everyone in the simplest term what mandate really depicts for ease of understanding. Mandate, according to the English dictionary simply means....."An official order or commission to do something."

The kind of order or commission determines where the pendulum swings. Know it that he who gives order and whom order is given to must agree to make the order work or else, it is either the order is flouted or the person ordered to do something but refuses to it will be queried and perhaps relieve of his post.

Impasse was the most used word after the 1993 Presidential election held on the June, 1993 that was annulled by the infamous Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida´s administration. For close to three years, the entire Nigeria media was awashed with this word.

Impasse simply means deadlock or a problem that has no immediate solution or call it cul-de-sac. This was because the Babangida administration refused to listen to the voice of reasoning and the songs of decent wisdom calling for the revalidation of the annulled election.

 Yes, he who pays the piper dictates the tune...shikina!

But in the emerging four years, what we may stay glue to or be hearing from the nation´s seat of power, Aso Rock, will be....” Who goes there? Enemy or friend? Advance to be recognized....!” Yowaa.....Oga Mr. President. Ranka dede manya... Sai Buhari, et al

In fact, many more Inyarinyas will surely be taken into the glorious purdah inside the Aso Rock to serve as Presidential fleet of Inyarinyas. After all, we only have one first (Mata) lady and tens of concubines always assembled by successive Presidents and no one gives a hoot. Kai walahi, you want to lose your life for daring to write or mention the Presidential fleet of Matas? Kwo ha ka ba? Ba damuwa....!

You don´t need a soothsayer to warn you that you MUST be a Muslim extremist to cross the gates leading to Aso Rock, if not the entire Abuja beginning from May the 29th, 2015. Heaven will rejoice if Southerners dare escape the mountains of impediments that they will be made to pass through to see their Vice President. Forget about the President. It will be easier to see God than Mr. President, except you belong to the league of decapitators of fellow human being ably backed by the Caliphate.

If per adventure such occurs or not, you can´t blame Mr. President. He fought gallantly for it and he got it! Not because he is the best, but because he is from the Oligarchical North where the sun never sets when it comes to wresting powers from other tribes in our butchered nation.

On March, 28th 2015, the most populous black nation, Nigeria, had an election that ushered in the new President of our beloved fatherland on May 29th, 2015. Men and women trooped out in their millions to exercise their inalienable civic rights. The right to vote and be voted for. Everyone was allowed to make his or her choice. A choice of who will rule them in the next four years. Mark you, Nigeria had never and may never elect a leader. All we have are rulers. For the avoidance of doubt, there are differences between a ruler and a leader. That may be a matter of discuss for another day.

I intend reminding everyone of the message I sent to the entire Nigeria nation just some hours away from that epic election. However, I feel it may not be too necessary to continue to replicate the scenarios especially when events and circumstances has dittoed otherwise.

On that very grateful date, Nigerians went to the poll like any other nation. Two prominent gladiators emerged through their various political parties as Presidential flag bearers. It is no news any more than one was favored to win while the other was favored to lose through the satanic connivance of the aristocrats in the North and the South West. They held series of clandestine meetings to pull down the walls of Aso Rock should their preferred candidate lose that election-all in their desire to satisfy their egoism, their want of power and looting that will leave the Nigeria state in comatose situation till the eternity. They concocted all sorts of evil along the way.

Of the two musketeers, one is a civilian and he is the incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan while the other is a well-known Zombie since the time of yore. He has a pedigree as one of the most ruthless dictator Nigeria ever had. The signs and the wonders done through his jackboots never cease to linger in the memory of noble men and women of his generation.

The Zombie became the crowned prince of victory even before ballots were opened. He was the anointed messiah. Messiah? Yes, he is the expected avatar. He is the charming prince of discipline, the only one that can tell Boko Haram haka hiki? And they will obey with a loud voice........ranka dede mutum yowaaaa! Yankuri …..et al.

That was what led to the choice of the masses. Nigeria needs the sponsors and apostles of Boko Haram and anti-semitic establishments to rule, so that there will be peace. No man, not even the outgoing President has the muscle to stop the callous carnage. No! Never! Who bore Monkey?

How can a branded Islamic infidel stop the well supported Boko Haram when his head is also on demand just like the head of John the Baptist? He must leave or hell will lose against the Yan-mirins from the South-South and South-East. They are not Nigerians, if at all they are counted as Nigerians, they don´t deserve to come near Abuja, needless to ask for any passage to Aso Rock.

There are first, second and third class citizens in Nigeria and of course, there are classless citizens of same nation. Hitherto, that has been their cry against the Goodluck Jonathan`s rise to the Presidency. They felt, they made the most grievous mistake of their life time by allowing a Yan-mirin to become their President. The way out or the way forward is to kick him out in the most inglorious manner any President had ever witnessed. Indeed, their agitations came to reality on that fateful 28th March, 2015.

By hook and crook, the incumbent President was supposedly voted out of power, because that is the only way their mathematical equation will become a theorem.

A theorem propounded by the Caliphate, the Obasanjo’s and Bola Ahmed Tinubu`s dynasties. No qualms! They are the victors and the South-South is the vanquished. Eka ro omo iya, ekunle omo Oduá …....! You all have succeeded in exhibiting the eternal treachery that you are known for. President Goodluck Jonathan surely left office on the 29th May, 2015 so that your desires will be met. I do not have any remorse for Goodluck Jonathan, because he was dinning and winning with known enemies in the name of political god-fatherism and he paid the supreme price.

But, let us not lose sight of the fact that there is always a day of reckoning. A day will come when the South-South and the South-East will not know peace-as we shall fight as we deem it necessary, for we know we shall win-as we are confident in victory, because good will surely triumph over evil.

In-here-so-far the Nigeria nation has mandated Buhari to perch at the helm of affairs of the nation, not through the barrels of the gun this time, what more can we ask for? He should know that the Nigeria masses are the pipers´ player and they should dictate the tune. The tune to constant and uninterrupted electricity, good road networks, good medical care, affordable education, employment at all levels, empowerment of the masses in wealth creation through soft loans and subsidies, justice and fairness to all and the inevitable eradication of one of his puppet projects, the Boko Haram.

Maj. General Buhari (rtd) and his team of seasoned looters should take into consideration that they all will be held accountable by this generation and generation-next should they fail to deliver, because we have come to realize that ….......”“Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph.” (Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie1 of Ethiopia.)

What Buhari and his unknown team must know and hate is the recurring insidious moves of successive Presidents against the youths of our nation through oratory massaging of their psyche with unrealistic promises. That will be detrimental to his administration and just like his predecessor; he will be shown the way back to Daura even before the expiration of his tenure. Oligarchical sarcasm must be eschewed, religious bigotry will not be tolerated and he should never make the mistake of trying to colourate the Presidency with mind-benders, soul wreckers and never do wells in our society.

Failure to adhere to this tenet, will rubbish the essence of his ascension to the Presidency. He should realize that without success in these spheres, the Victory, we celebrate today; the suffering that we have all endured will be to no avail.

To win the War against corruption, to overcome the enemy upon the fields cannot alone ensure the Victory in the Presidency. The cause of poverty must be removed. Each tribe's rights must be secured from violation. Above all, from the human mind, he must erase all thoughts of humiliations as a solution. Then and then only will hatred cease.

Nigerians are the Mandators, the Presidency is the mandate while Buhari and co., are the mandated. No voice will be loud, no voice should be muffled, no tribe should be alienated in the name of party affiliation, religious believes or numerical strength. Should Buhari with his “Keu” certificates allow the elites to hijack his government, that will be the death knell to his administration and that will surely be his waterloo.  Much as I sympathize with his educational backwardness, for I am very sure that Buhari do not know how many Zero is in a billion, he should be mindful of those he will appoint to sensitive positions in the next dispensation.

It will be fool-hardy for the APC as a political party, to bask in the euphoria of victory to appoint willy-nilly individuals or individuals reputed to be sworn klepto-crats into his administration.

Upon Buhari, Nigerians are optimistic, but I need to remind us all that there will be wars and wars and there is war already hanging in the air for the APC and the do-gooders who has used their looted funds to sponsor Buhari´s campaign. It will only take some hours after his swearing in before the bubble will begin to burst. Can Buhari contain the egoistic balance of the political Kabiyesi like Bola Tinubu and Obasanjo? Can Buhari give Nigerians affordable and uninterruptable electricity? Can Buhari make life more meaningful to Nigerians? Can or will Buhari ever confront and defeat his fellow extremists in Boko Haram conclave in the Sambissa forest? Can Buhari deliver? Can he cope without the usual military rule of “obey before complain” in a democratic set up in the nation called Nigeria? Can he cope with the vulturistic tendencies and the Oliver Twist demands of the looting sharks in the nation´s legislative chambers? Can he? The rat race will be too fierce to contend. Only time will tell.....!

Know it that "All great truths begin as blasphemies"

Espirit de corps Mr. President!

Presidential salute, present arms.......One, two-trip one,..two trip zero.............!!

Never say I did not warn you sir....!

Flourish osmor ray (unbias umpire and minister in the temple of justice, equality and fair play.)
