16 Years

                                                             16 YEARS

16 Years of widening ethnic fissures brought about by political deceit and unfathomed God fatherism. 16 years of bending rules for the favoured few while honest business are pushed out. 16 years of developing OTHER nations with the Nigerian wealth. 16 years of disconnect between the leadership and the populace. 1(6) Years of straight civil rule has devastated the Military that was once the pride of Africa. Today “guerrilla” army of Chad is doing on Nigeria territory what the Nigerian Army should have done in the first place. 240 people having $300 Billion in off-shore accounts while majority anguish on less than $2/ day. 1(6) years of Leaders dancing as hundreds are bombed. 1(6) years of leasing the Nigerian waters to criminals to patrol. 1(6) years of Stealing not being Corruption. 1(6) years of denying that girls were ever kidnapped or insurgency taking place. 1(6) years of an unelected market woman deciding the fate of 170 Million citizens.  

I really have had no faith in the political set up called democracy. I have been always tuned to the perceived discipline of the Khaki. Blame the Buhari and Idiagbon regime of 1984. Focused leadership it was.  Gen Abacha did well too. Did we have any insurgency then? Of course not! Abacha was decisive. PTF which he started and funded with just the N2/ liter did wonders for the majority of the Nation. Abacha is blamed for embezzling about $3-5Billion and “killing” just two people. Compare this with the amount the Diezani and Co STOLE and the thousands killed by GEJ’s inaction and and even Lucifer would seem an Angel.

But then the big question, WILL IT ALL BE THE SAME AFTER MAY 29^th? Well, I DON’T know… but look at it this way…. The incoming C-in-C’s name has already started to elicit action that we thought would never happen and we are still a month and a half away from the official change of the guard. But knowing civil rule, its political allegiances and sycophantic ass kissers, makes me ponder if the new Commander in Chief will allow for SACRED COWS! I hope not….. I really HOPE NOT.
