Goodluck Jonathan!
This man, like a
moth to the flame, is seemingly programmed for self-destruct!
During my secondary
school days, one of the Literature texts was a book titled ‘One Week, One
Trouble” – for good old Jonathan, it appears it is ‘One Day, One Trouble’!
Not satisfied with
the uproar generated by the State pardon accorded to a group of politically
exposed ex-convicts, including Jonathan’s mentor and former Boss and
mega-fraudster DSP Alamieyeseigha and the unfolding melodrama being generated
by the multiplicity of entities contending to register the acronym APC (a
fiasco generally believed to be instigated by the ruling PDP), Goodluck
Jonathan decides to cap a most turbulent week with a ‘fund-raising’ ceremony
for his home town church during which known stooges of government and perpetual
drain pipes of national resources ‘contribute’ the incredulous sum of over 6
Billion Naira (almost U.S.$40 Million).
“Catch me if you
can”, appears to be what Jonathan is daring Nigerians. Ironically, one good
thing about the present stretch of incredulous happenings in our polity is the
fact that it has brought to the knowledge of all concerned, local and
international observers alike, the fraud inherent in our posturing as a country
under the rule of law.
As we are set to
begin a new week, one can only sit upright, tighten ones ‘seat belt’ and be
ready to stomach the new belly-churning multi-billion dollar corruption scandal
or socio-political upheaval that is bound to erupt in the next 48 hours!
Time and chance has
been kind on our contraption, but it certainly will not be for much longer –
time for peaceful restructuring and renegotiation is fast ebbing away!
