When the tail wags the dog.

No doubt, when Barack Obama drew an imaginary line of ‘use of chemical weapons’ as the point where Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria would venture beyond to attract greater United States involvement in the Syrian Civil War, the US President committed a political gaffe.

On the one hand, there was the possibility that any of a plethora of actors in the Syrian conflict could deliberately use chemical weapons so that the al-Assad regime will be blamed for it and thus attract US intervention; and on the other hand, the regime itself could use chemical weapons and blame same on the rebels, as a ploy by rebels to elicit US intervention – either way, a US reaction would be tele-guided, not by US interests, but by the manipulations of some smart alec in Syria or any of the several puppeteers using Syrian interests to propagate their own agenda.

Wonders, they say, will never cease.

I never thought the day will come when I will agree on anything with a major goon who has contributed immensely to the current nightmare living in Nigeria has become for all its citizens – Olusegun Obasanjo!

Obasanjo’s admonition to the Jonathan presidency to either hold him (Obasanjo) personally responsible for the mega corruption which occurred during the Nigeria’s ‘Reign of Evil’ (1999 – 2007) or forever shut up, receives my whole hearted support.

I hope someone will seize this opportunity to awaken the character presently collecting salary as Chairman of Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Lamurde, to get up from his slumber and proof to Nigerians that the funds remitted to cover the running costs of the EFCC from the Federation account is not a 100% waste!

Nigeria MUST be restructured!

by Eze Eluchie 

Who will blame Goodluck Jonathan for the sentiments he is expressing when he says "Those seeking the disintegration of Nigeria are “lazy politicians seeking to be kings in tiny islands,” Perhaps Jonathan is confusing 'disintegration' with 'restructuring' and or 'renegotiation''.

If you are sitting atop cash pot of over 3-million barrels of crude oil per day and can spend the proceeds thereof without accounting to anybody but your henchmen for it;

If you get elected into the office of President by default;

If when your wife/kids/cronies fall ill, she/they will be flown to any hospital of your choice abroad for treatment at whatsoever costs all without a dime coming out of your pocket;

If your only qualifications to being president are your first name (goodluck) and your wife's first name (patience) and you do not have to bother about such 'frivolities' as track-record, performance, intelligence or any other virtue for that matter;

If you have a convoy of several bullet-proof Mercedes Benz limousines (paid for by public funds) at your beck and call when the rest of the population have to dodge bullets and terrorist bombs as part of their daily routine;

If you once had no shoes and you now have a million and one shoes and are unable to account to even yourself how the 'miracle' came about.

Oh yes, Goodluck Jonathan, Yakubu Gowon, Ibrahim Babangida and others who have been opportune to fleece the cash-cow known as Nigeria can jolly well castigate those of us who want a renegotiation and restructuring of the contraption called Nigeria. But one thing they, as sure as hell, cannot do, is to stop the tide.

Nigeria will be restructured and renegotiated! Those who dare to stand in the way will only find themselves restructured and renegotiated in the process!
