I just read with grave annoyance, the caption "US, UK mediate in Obasanjo, Atiku feud". What the &&^%*?! Why on Earth would those ones mediate in anything?! What makes it their business?

Seriously though, why wouldnt it be their business? The vice president , ex-president, INEC dude, EFCC guy and all the other "well meaning" politicians deem it fit to justify themselves before the "international community" (mainly the US and UK) rather than the Nigerian people, whom they (supposedly) serve. If these charlatans could see beyond their noses, they would discover that they have perfected the art of shamelessness, hence washing, not just their dirty linen, but their dirty, torn, overused teru in public.

Mr. Obasanjo reminds me so much about a story I heard in primary school , whose import did not really sink in until after my first year in university. It is titled "the emperor's new clothes". A simple story, really, about an emperor, so conceited, foolhardy and stubborn that he believed he could do no wrong. A fraudster played a fast one on him by selling him a set of clothes that were so pure that they could only be viewed by "holy" people. Thus, whoever couldnt see the clothes, was in effect, "unholy".

Anyway, the dictator, surrounded by sychophants, carefully put on the "clothes" (lest it tore) and rode round his kigdom, declaring himself the purest of the lot. Now, everybody had been forewarned, so they all kept "oooh-ing and aaa-ing" and commending the emperor's new clothes. Until one little boy screamed "But the emperor is naked"! That was when it suddenly dawned on him how much of a fool, he -the emperor- had been. For a little boy is considered pure and innocent.

After that story, I believe we can put 2 and 2 together and we will know who represents what character in present day Nigeria.

I mean, the list is endless.... So many things .... So many frustrations.... So many questions.... I mean, why would Charles Soludo use the Vice preseident's presidential jet, while Atiku boards a chartered flight?
Why would the ex-president utter statements like "no P-frigging-DP, no Nigeria"? And ah, the famous "The 2007 (s)elections are do or die for myself and the PDP"?
Why does this administration belive that what they have not achieved in 8 solid years, they can achieve in 2020, like the ex-president keeps saying?
What the heck is our business with the 2014 commonwealth games hosting, on which we will doubtless spend billions of naira that we cannot afford,? Even if we want to host, why construct an entire, new games village, when the COJA ones lie fallow?
Why on earth did we take the present $25m world bank load? I mean loan?
Why the heck would the rather-un good looking- british high commissioner to Nigeria state expressly at a forum that everything happening in nigeria is as a result of bad governance? What makes it his business? (The guy actually got a standing ovation for it!) Try that in Venezuela, and you become a persona-non-grata, before you are done with your sentence. If in doubt, go ask William Brownfield.
Why would the US issue a warning on fresh Niger-Delta attacks? Duh???? SOmething more intelligent, if you please!
Why did the technical committee from "advanced democracies" come to Nigeria to partner with INEC on the 2007 (s)elections? I dont see Mr. Iwu on any of those so-called gaffs.... not even to Benin republic.
Why, oh why..... this one, I can never ever know the reason, but how on earth did Ahmadu Ali get a national honor???!!! That one in particular infuriates me! I mean, then my pet snake should get one too!
What has been done about Okija? Why did the "cameras in the chambers" issue, as stated by the senate die down?
Why is Yomi no longer a page 3 contributor to saturday punch?!
What are the African leaders going to do about the US' decision to set up a PENTAgon base in Africa? Smile and feel priviledged, no doubt.
What is the deal with Ban Ki-Moon.... the guy is so eager to please its god-fathers! Anyway, it is rather unfortunate that Professor Gambari - with all due respect - formerly the under-secretary to the UN in the department of political affairs, lost to an american -Lynn Pascoe.... unfortunate, but expected. Dont ask me why!

Why on earth would I not vote for Jimi Agabaje????!!! Koro - bitter in yoruba (looks, talks and acts like a thug); Fashola - abeg, fashy the guy! Looks clueless!

Why, in the 27th century, do I have to inhale carbon monoxide everyday, as emmitted by my power generator? Why do I see people carrying jerry cans looking for water, fuel and kunu?! In the 27th century?!

This statement by Etubom Bassey Ekpo Bassey on the recent fuel scarcity puts it succintly... Said he " when the military made Obasanjo our president in 1999, nobody dreamt that petrol could sell for N30 per litre. Now petrol sells for N140 per litre. This is one of the reasons why Obasanjo’s economic reforms must be sustained by the administration so that Nigeria may effectively become the property of less than 100 people and the rest of us their loyal tenants whose support for the system shall be secured by a brutal police force".

No explanations demanded, and none presented, for the fuel scarcity.

It is well.
