Sexul public si confirmarea lui Fashola a esecului lui Buhari

Ce a avut legatura cu presedintele Muhammadu Buhari, un proprietar de vite Fulani cu Bugatti Veyron – acel automobil superb si renumit mondial? Doar dispozitivul de auto-ortografie al laptopului meu bun si vechi poate spune. In alta zi, imi distilasem gandurile in Nigeria si incercasem sa tastez numele presedintelui pe laptopul meu, dar Bugatti a venit ca o sugestie cand am tastat primele doua scrisori cu numele presedintelui. Bugatti, cuvantul a aparut, in locul lui Buhari. Am facut o pauza si am meditat: Buhari / Bugatti. Cuvant si opus !? Sau este un oximoron? Uhmm! M-am intrebat. Apropo, oximoronul este o figura de vorbire in care termenii aparent contradictorii apar in combinatie, de exemplu, „mic urias”, „mizerie excelenta”; „liniste asurzitoare”.

Vehiculul de viata circula cu combustibilul numit oxymoron aka contradictie. Intr-adevar, cele mai mici lucruri ale vietii invata cele mai mari lectii. Trezind constiinta omului in acest sens, marele rege David al lui Israel propovaduieste: „Du-te la furnica, tanarule! Luati in considerare modalitatile ei si fiti intelepti … ”Adevarat, spun, la fel de minuscul ca furnica, viata ei ofera lectii minunate in industrie, disciplina, unitate, lipsa de sine, curaj, determinare si putere – toate virtutile rare din patratul 923, 768 kilometri de pamant numiti Nigeria, unde stralucirea zilei se risipeste in intunericul noptii, ambele osciland in jurul ecuatorului pe membrele opuse.

Am intalnit cuvantul oxymoron pentru prima data in anii 80 ca student la literatura. Apoi, frumusetea cuvantului scris mi-a atras mult mai mult decat stiintele abstracte cu formulele, teoriile si legile lor infinite si confuze. In acei ani nu prea indepartati, sanatatea mergea pe picioarele sale in Nigeria, inca nu dezvoltase aripi. In acei ani, nu exista Yahoo, sa nu mai vorbim de Yahoo Plus; fara sarituri, sa nu mai vorbim de rapire; nicio bombardare religioasa, cu atat mai putin Boko Haram, nici o presedintie ticaloasa, nici o legislatura obscena sau un sistem judiciar foarte corupt. Sfarsitul anilor ’70 si inceputul anilor ’80 a fost o perioada in care cititul era un adeziv care lega prietenia dintre tineri. Aceasta a fost inainte ca sanatatea sa zboare pe fereastra si prezervativele, topoarele, gloantele, armele, Tramadolul, heroina si cocaina s-au plimbat in ghiozdane.

Cuvantul oxymoron isi are radacina in traducerea etimologica greaca a secolului al XVII-lea, oxumoron , si inseamna „punct de nechibzuit”, cu „oxus” insemnand ascutit, aratat si „moros” insemnand nechibzuit. In ciuda respingerii politiei, m-am gandit ca Premiul pentru cea mai Moronica declaratie 2018 va fi acordat fortei de politie din Nigeria atunci cand seful sau, reclamatiile publice, unitatea de raspuns rapid, Abayomi Shogunle, a tweeted saptamana trecuta ca a facut „sex intr-o masina (parcat) intr-un loc public nu este o crima in Nigeria. ” Am fost socat? Stiu ca situata in absurdul care a spus ca profanitatea rezida intr-un raspuns la monstrul ucigas in care, politia nigeriana s-a transformat.

Declaratia reflecta ciuma antica a Nigeriei de a pune cheile patrate in functiile publice rotunde. De asemenea, se dezvaluie motivul pentru care restructurarea ramane critica pentru curatarea aerului de infailibilitate la titularii de functii publice, care, precum Presedintele Olusegun Obasanjo, au considerat ca nu ar fi trebuit sa fie la cantonamentul militar din Ikeja, unde sute de vieti au fost smulgute de bombe rahitice. in 2002.

In elementul sau atotstiutor caracteristic, Obasanjo a simtit ca face o favoare nigerianilor prin faptul ca a fost prezent la ora nevoii din Nigeria. Insa, in functia de comandant-sef al fortelor armate, presedintele Goodluck Jonathan nu a abandonat fetele Chibok cand a aparut stirea ca scolii erau cazuti de Boko Haram; s-a ridicat in picioare, a scos vestile, i-a linistit pe nigerieni si parintii lor ca fetele sunt in siguranta si s-au intors sa doarma. Este acelasi aer de aroganta si deconectare care propulseaza parasuta presedintelui Muhammadu Buhari in strainatate, de unde vorbeste despre nigerieni. In istoria conducerii politice, ma indoiesc daca exista un lider la fel de indepartat, la fel de absent si la fel de surd la dorinta unui popor, care isi cauta presedintele sa le vorbeasca. Marii lideri folosesc orice ocazie de a se adresa oamenilor lor, pentru a conecta si disemina politicile administratiilor lor, dar Buhari este un eskimo care se imbolnaveste la vederea zapezii. E un general fara pistol. A trecut prin scoala fara niciun certificat care sa-i arate. Tacerea lui Buhari este tare; merge alt oximoron. Si totusi isi doreste un al doilea mandat din partea acelorasi persoane pe care le considera ca sunt prea proste si putin sa-si merite adresa.

With several days to the 2019 presidential election, it appears Buhari’s greatest headache is how to avoid the impending presidential debate. But if the Mallam of Daura can neither communicate his administration’s policies by directly speaking to Nigerians nor reassure and speak to their fears while participating in the scheduled 2019 debates, then the time to return home to Daura is next May.

Still talking about oxymoron; it’s unbelievable that the president’s wife, Aisha, has personally addressed Nigerians more times than her husband, yet she isn’t on a joint ticket. God bless her, courageous woman. When she said few days ago that two unbeknownst men have seized the steering wheel from her husband, and made him a passenger, she didn’t mention names.

However, sitting atop the ministries of power, works and housing portrays Babatunde Fashola, a former governor of Lagos State, a powerful man. But I don’t think he’s one of the two who disrobed Buhari and exposed Nigerians to impotent nakedness. I know Fashola is a gentleman though many in the nation’s political circle say he’s arrogant, ungrateful, snobbish and power-drunk.

In Lagos, his achievements as governor litter the landscape. In Abuja, his failure roars in lightning thunders, attracting torrential curses and abuses from disgruntled Nigerians, who pay exorbitant bills for darkness. Nigerians who live in squalid crevices and those who suffer daily on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Apapa-Oshodi Expressway, among thousands of other deathtraps called roads across the country, say oxymoronic stuffs about Fashola, alleging that he came into prominence and walked on the path to his destiny because he stood on the shoulders of a giant. They quote the Igbo proverb Chinua Achebe made popular: “Those whose kernels were cracked by benevolent spirit should not forget to be humble.” They say it’s wrong and wicked for Fashola to say the Federal Government shouldn’t be held responsible for the impregnable pall of darkness perpetually eclipsing light in the country. That people entrusted with power should act and talk responsibly. They wonder why Fashola uttered these ignoble words: “There are problems, without a doubt, and we must deal with them.

But let me remind you, all of the assets that the Ministry of Power used to control were sold by the last administration before I came. And so if you don’t have power, it is not the government’s problem. Let us be honest.

He went on, “The people who are operating the power sector, generation and distribution are now privately owned companies. I am here because I am concerned. If your telephone is not working, it is not the minister of telecommunication that you go to. Let us be very clear.”

Fashola’s Freudian slip explains why Buhari maintains an aloof arrogance of silence when Nigerians cry out in suffering. This is why the government looks on when foreign telecommunication firms rip off Nigerians daily, and foreign oil multinationals freely pollute southern communities, just as foreign nationals maltreat Nigerians in their very own country while the political elite add insult to injury by treating the masses worse than a piece of maggot-infested rag. Fashola’s statement is akin to the statement of that arrogant and sycophantic king, who told the Igbo to go and jump into the Lagos lagoon.

If Buhari had lived up to his electoral promise of providing Nigerians with electricity, Fashola won’t need to enter into 2019 election panic mood and mouth that infamous drivel which would win the Wickedest Statement of 2018 Award.
