\n

Honestly, I am not happy the way some specific Nigerians are not giving the First Lady a rest of mind. When has it become a crime to be the wife of reigning President of a country? When is it immoral to visit an aged frail ill relation? When has it become a taboo to use a Presidential jet of one\u2019s spouse, one\u2019s husband?<\/span><\/p>\n

Just recently most papers, magazines and online publications were awash again with now familiar blackmail hatched stories that the First Lady\u00a0 <\/span>was back in Germany and was to go Spain from there and go to USA for another round of medical up keep. This was when Ayo Osinlu was replaced by Rudolf Okonkwo as the Spokes person of the First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan. What is puzzling is that when has the First Lady become \u201cso hated\u201d in the Nigerian polity? That someone a greater number of Nigerians were singing her song from 2010 to 2011 For Women for Change Initiative (WCI) and how she energetically vibrantly organized, the woman folk to vote enbloc for her husband has now become a woman to be vilified for the simple act that she is the President\u2019s wife?.<\/span><\/p>\n

I always read my papers in the early morning of the day, so I digest every item, and every column, each page like a memory verse. I was thinking that if Dame Patience Jonathan was someone\u2019s loving mother, a relation, a sister, will she be picked up undeservingly without cause like this? Women are feminine and should be treated as much. We should fear God in all our utterances and actions, as whatever goes up must come down. Here is the wife of the President of the largest black Nation on earth\u00a0 <\/span>with its booming population, who boarded the jet of the President, her husband to visit her foster mother, (Mama Sisi), who brought her up, now aged, frail and probably losing memory like legend Nelson Mandela. Her own children were with her, on holiday, the President\u2019s Children, possibly hadn\u2019t seen grandma for up to three months.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Additionally, it was routine or could be her physician in Germany instructed her to come after some time, so that he can take a look again at the surgeries. Who does not fail sick? Who has no relations? Why can we not be compassionate for some brief time, some brief second and place ourselves in her position? Are these not distractions to Mr. President, Dr, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan in these strange confusing times, when he is reaching an accord with Boko Haram?<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Is it not disruption that sometimes, someone, someperson, not necessarily Dr. Reuben Abati, has to draw his attention to story on Madam when State matters of bloodshed and insecurity loom on his table? <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Should we not be fair to the woman Dame Patience Jonathan that even historical data has shown the African First Ladies Peace Mission has some other way to engender peace in Africa?<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Here is a humble mother who believes in the Omnipotent and omnipresent God, that she participates actively in this government. She wasn\u2019t selfish to have said aha!, we have got it, we are here now, we do not care with those down there in their penury and poverty. No, she reminds, get them along, get more on board and more. Instead of hailing her, motivating, encouraging, we are nitpicking and exacting. The fact that God, Almighty is patient with some of our unfair provocations, does not mean, we may not face his wrath? <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The President\u2019s wife should be prayed for. We should intercede with sincere prayers and clean hands on her behalf. So that she recovers promptly and quickly. We should pray for the President\u2019s family again and again.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

All these noise on pages of tabloids are unnecessary. It reflects on our image as envious selfish, egocentric persons, who are jealous of the miracles in the lives of others. It shows we are not contented, satisfied or fulfilled. It clearly indicates, that, why not me? Let us agree, that, we can celebrate the success of others not this Pull Her Down syndrome. It looks barbaric, crude and native in nature. It looks unpolished, brutal, uncivilized and squares up like \u201cblack Africa\u201d that whites tend to call us.<\/span><\/p>\n
