\nFarouk Martins Aresa @oomoaresa
\nNigeria has never recovered since the first Coup d’Etat. It turned out
\nas expected that the Army lacked the intelligence and intellectual
\ncapacity for governance. A few went as far as saying the best military
\nrule is worse than the worst civilian rule. Well, many of us disagree.
\nThough Jerry Rawlings did a better job in Ghana in his first coming,
\nGhana has since benefited from clean civilian rule. In Nigeria, we are
\neither recovering from military rule in uniform or in militrician rule
\nwhen they change their uniforms to agbada or designer suits.
\nOne of the former stalwarts of the National Party of Nigeria boldly
\nstated in 1979 that there were two parties in Nigeria: the Military and
\nNPN. Both parties have mutated into different viruses, but these
\nleopards never changed their spots. If you take a good look at the
\npoliticians in Nigeria, it will become clear that only Vagabonds, Army
\nand Thugs are left standing to get into the game of Do or Die. Their
\nonly goal is to go in and loot the treasury. Their supporters that vote
\nthem into power are thugs and hoodlums waiting for turns to loot.
\nSo they hate peaceful activists. They would dare you to oppose them at
\nyour own risk. Most of you must have heard about how harmless and
\npeaceful protesters of #ENDSARS were massacred. Even worse, the
\nCommander of the Army that led them, told the Tribunal he would execute
\nexactly the same Operation again. But once these same Protesters carry
\nArms like Boko Haram, Niger Delta Force, OPC or MASSOB; their military
\ntactics would change to contracts, bribes, foreign scholarships and
\npolitical cronies.
\nIt appears that since Babangida broke Buhari, he never recovered. So
\nscared to death, Buhari refused to change the Service Chiefs, still
\nfiguring out how to prevent another coup d’etat against him. Even
\nBabangida that had worked against the Buhari Election is enjoying the
\nlack of retribution from Buhari or his kitchen cabinet. If kidnappers
\nwere brave enough to take the cue from Boko Haram and kidnap another set
\nof school children right in Buhari’s State when he was at home on
\nvacation, they fear nobody. Could it have been staged for easy rescue?
\nAuthorities that do not listen to peaceful protests, flame violence or
\ninsurrection that make Revolution inevitable. It is an old adage some
\nreasonable governments learned from before or after the revolution.
\nWatch out for those children of the status quo that argue against change
\nas their country dug itself deeper into poverty. They have vested
\ninterest in the oppression of peaceful demonstrators. They are the
\nPersonal Assistants of the Oppressors located everywhere including the
\nsocial media. Even other Africans and people of goodwill worldwide
\nempathize with Nigerians. Not the children and supporters of these
\nVagabonds-In-Power.
\nThe indications are that Buhari has lost his grip on Power to his
\nkitchen cabinet. When his wife said Buhari did not know some of the
\nmembers of his wider cabinet, we doubted his wife since Buhari said she
\nbelonged to the other room. She is not taking chances though. A few
\nsources claimed she has relocated to Dubai for security reasons. This is
\nwhy Nigerians are crying that if the wife of the President is not safe
\nin Nigeria, nobody can protect the common man. They wonder if Buhari is
\nreally in control, has lost interest in Power or he is being used to
\nretain Power by ordained oligarchy Mafia; as they did under ailing
\nPresident Yar’Adua.
\nMost of us knew Buhari was a religious fanatic, but had instinctual
\nintolerance for corruption. Yet, we voted for him as a preference to a
\nworse evil, Jonathan that legalized corruption with a notion that it was
\nnot necessarily a crime. As Buhari gets older, he has dropped religion,
\nan opium used to disguise cruelty of man against man. Buhari has also
\nembrace corruption as it provides comfort for him and his family, not
\nonly in the Muslim world but in the Western world where he sends his
\nchildren to school and obtain medical treatment that cannot be provided
\nin his Country for his people; because he can afford them overseas on
\nhis salary!
\nAll the effort and brains, if they have any since taking over, that
\nshould have been utilized to combat violence are diverted against those
\nthat pointed out their obvious failures. Even Reverend Kuka that voiced
\nout the mind of most people in Nigeria had been declared a traitor.
\nNothing Reverend Kuka said was different from that of the Sultan of
\nSokoto that expressed the same caution as Reverend Kuka. So both must be
\nplanning a coup as traitors then?
\nBuhari must be morally dead. The same man Boko Haram almost killed by a
\nsuicide bomber in Kaduna before he became President, had been asked to
\nnegotiate on their behalf with the Jonathan Government. When the
\nNorth-East and North-West boasted of violence on Christian churches and
\nSoutherners anytime they dared contest for Presidency, they never
\nthought the same violence would gradually consume them.
\nThe bottom line is that the “core” North is bleeding from self-inflicted
\nwounds and their leaders know it. But they hide their heads in the sand
\nfor fear that they would be proven wrong by whoever tells them the
\ntruth. A case of self perfection that fears correction from any quarter
\nthat may expose the fact that they are moving in the wrong direction to
\nself-annihilation. Since reliance on foreign income, politicians plunged
\nthe Country from African richest country before the curse of oil to the
\nworld capital of Poverty after massive oil income. Whoever says money
\ncan make you wealthy or rich has never heard of a country called
\nNigeria.
\nVery soon the whole Country will be consumed by terrorists unless other
\nparts learn their lessons and prepare to defend their part of the
\nCountry. As long as we have Southerners joining and flaming the
\ndestruction of the Country because of personal greed for tokenism and
\nbacking as candidates for Presidency instead of speaking the truth to
\nPower, we will all follow Borno violence down the drain. It is no longer
\nNorth v. South, the whole Country is threatened during the reign of
\nBuhari who got elected because another devil that sold his people,
\nrelied on temporary income from the curse of oil as Paradise.
\nNigeria known for its Army contribution to Peace in Africa and the world
\nis now at the mercy of local terrorists financed internally and by
\ninternational sects of religious terrorists in the name of God. Buhari
\nhas turned deaf ears to reasonable voices in the North, even the Sultan
\nthat claimed they have never seen so much carnage and destruction within
\ntheir own North. Indeed, the voices of reason of both Muslim and
\nChristian leaders has been branded a coup.
\nWho is ruling Nigeria? What a change from Buhari\/Idiagbon that jailed
\npeople for foreign currencies to this Buhari\/Osinbajo that reverted to
\ncracking down on harmless nonviolent protesters but fear Boko Haram,
\nmilitias and coup plotters.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
