"Rochas Okorocha, a man who
has spent more money on statues than he has on living human beings has now
appointed his biological sister as “Commissioner for Happiness and Couples’
Fulfilment”. What sin did Imo people commit to deserve this embarrassment as
their Governor?
And this Rochas, a man that so
wants his people to be happy that he creates a ministry for happiness for them
nevertheless delays their salaries and pensions. And when his unpaid workers
and pensioners take to keke-riding to augment their income, he bans that too.
Apparently, Rochas has provided enough statues to make them happy!
And the so-called commissioner
for happiness is anything but a happy camper. One could even ask whether she is
commissioner for happiness or commissioner for ANGER? Her public comments since
her appointment project RAGE rather than joy. Perhaps she should have been made
Imo State’s commissioner for DEFENCE?
To every unhappy Nigerian, do not
worry. Happiness beckons as Rochas Okorocha has announced that he will contest
for President whenever President Buhari’s tenure of unhappiness ends.
However, with this recent episode
in the dramatic life of Rochas, I am left with little choice but to conclude
that Rochas Okorocha is a perfect example of why all aspirants to high offices
in Nigeria should submit themselves for psychiatric evaluation before being
permitted to contest.
But coming back to reality though,
these are the types of tales you expect to see being dramatised in badly
written Nollywood movies of the Idumota variety. Now I know what people mean
when they say that no matter how strange fiction is, reality is often stranger
than fiction.
Governor Okorocha and the All
Progressives Congress have shown such monumental cluelessness that even I, an
opposition politician, am ashamed for them, because obviously, they have no
capacity to feel shame.
Coming on the heels of Okorocha’s
joke of a government, we were regaled by the Presidency with the news that
President Buhari had ‘commissioned’ the release of 500 inmates of Kano Central
Prison.
I kid you not! In fact, the tweet
by the President’s spokesman reads as follows (and this is a direct quote):
“President @MBuhari commissions
the release of 500 inmates pardoned by Kano State Government at the Kurmawa
prison. #PMBinKano.”
Obviously, the spokesperson,
Bashir Ahmad, does not have a heart for his job, because he deleted the tweet
from his TL on @BashirAhmaad after he got pilloried by angry Nigerians.
But what has Nigeria done to
deserve such leaders? Leaders who major on the minor and minor on the major.
Not only did it take President
Muhammadu Buhari forever to respond to the atrocious treatment of Nigerians and
other Sub-Saharan Africans in Libya, the President betrayed his deep ignorance
of the state of affairs in Nigeria when he expressed wonder at what Nigerians
were going to do in Libya.
President Buhari said he is sad
that Nigerians are being sold like goats in Libya. He must have forgotten that
his army killed 347 Nigerian Shiite men, women, children and infants, then
buried them in a mass grave like goats. Has he done anything to those who
committed that act? So how is he better than the Libyans?
The President asked why Nigerian
go to Libya. What choice do they have? Are they safer in Nigeria than in Libya?
If Boko Haram does not slaughter
them, herdsmen will kill them. If SARS doesn’t shoot them, the chief of army
staff may send them to the great beyond for blocking his route. If APC does not
finish them with joblessness, APC will finish them by increasing the cost of
petrol, electric and food. And even if you guys have jobs, your APC Governor
may prefer to use your salaries to erect statues for leaders of distant lands.
If all of that does not happen, kidnappers are there to fulfil all
righteousness. So, Mr. President, please don’t ask such an obvious question!
Many of those who are actually
making the perilous journey to Europe through the Sahara desert via Libya
belong to those described by President Buhari as the disfavoured 5%.
After having been told by the man
to whom they looked up to for leadership that they were not his priorities,
should anyone be surprised that people from the South-south and South-east
began checking out?
And speaking of leadership, if
you want to know the difference between a leader and a dealer, all you need to
do is compare President Uhuru Kenyatta’s inaugural speech with that of
President Buhari. To help you, I have quoted the relevant portions below:
“I undertake to be the keeper of
the aspirations of both those who voted for me and those who did not”-
President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Now compare it with the
following,
“The constituents who gave me 97%
cannot in all honesty be treated on some issues with constituencies that gave
me 5%”-President Muhammadu Buhari.
Now ask yourself if you will see
a future for yourself in Nigeria if you are from “the constituencies that gave
me 5%”?
And that is why they are voting
with their feet. In fact, to many of them, Operations Python Dance and
Crocodile Smile were the last straw.
Many of these long-suffering
Nigerians had noted that even where there was widespread killings and
devastation by herdsmen and other ‘criminals’ (in Buhari’s Nigeria, you are
only a terrorist if you are from the 5%). In the 97% areas, no military
operations were unleashed there.
There is a lot I can write about
the new and improved Federal Republic of Nigeria under the leadership of
President Muhammadu Buhari, but let me end by quoting the conclusion of George
Orwell’s Animal Farm:
“The creatures outside looked
from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it
was impossible to say which was which.”

The only thing it should cost you
to sleep with a woman is love followed by marriage. As long as it cost you
money to sleep with a woman, she is a prostitute, whether or not you rebrand
her girlfriend or fianceé. That is why you should never marry a Slay Queen.
When distance comes between you and your Slay Queen, she will find another
Wallet King. But when distance comes between you and a true Pray Queen, she
will find another way to reach you #RenosNuggets.

Reno is giving the impression that Nigerian problem started with the arrival of President Buhari, that's not correct because the sixteen years of PDP rule joblessness, kidnapping, human trafficking Libya Italy and hardship has been there, now Buhari is destroying that foundation PDP build and building a new one.it is a known fact that sorrow may endure for a while but joy comes in the morning so Mr Reno we know the difference between APC and PDP after looting the treasury without doing what will make Nigerians great you can't come and claim that you people love this country so please we know what is good for us as we wait for 2019
