Stand with Buhari? Really?

It hurts me when I still see Nigerians fighting over their allegiance to either GEJ or Buhari. Just recently, someone actually accused me of being pro-Jonathan because I pointed out the weakness of this present administration.

It is sad because to me....and in reality...the GEJ vs Buhari contest ended with the elections. This continued contest between the GEJ and Buhari camps -though only existing in little minds, serves the counter-productive purpose of suppressing objectivity and preventing us from demanding more from our so-called leaders.

I know that there are Nigerians today who would not see any good in Buhari's government just because they support GEJ. I also know that there are Nigerians who think GEJ would win if they castigate Buhari; so they are prepared to #StandWithBuhari even if he sets the podium ablaze. But what really is the contest? Buhari is now in charge and in Aso Rock while GEJ is in Otuoke.

I dislike it when I raise an issue about Buhari and someone says "at least he is better than GEJ"...What nonsense! Who made GEJ the yardstick for good governance? Just as I castigated GEJ when he failed to perform, so will I castigate Buhari.

I have asked a guy that ‪#‎StandsWithBuhari‬ why he does so and he said it was mainly because Buhari isn't corrupt. I then asked why he believes that Buhari isn't corrupt, and he said I should check the calibre of men that are in court for corruption-related cases. And I asked if that was all...he said it was more than enough considering what GEJ did.

Now, for some reality check:
If you cannot assume that your Pastor is free from sin because he preaches against it...
If you are wise enough to know that just because a whole street is running after a guy who stole a tuber of yam from Mama Nkechi does not mean that everyone on that street is a saint...
Then why do you believe that Buhari isn't corrupt because he is recovering stolen funds?

Again, I wouldn't be quick to praise a man as being straightforth just because he sees faults in another man's child. He may be a candidate for my praise if he is also quick to expose his own children... I don't need to explain this analogy, do I?

So before you stand with Buhari, take a look at the budget for the Presidency...
Does he stand with you?
Before you stand with Buhari, look at his policies and how he has communicated them to you...
Does he stand with you?
Before you stand with Buhari, check if you are doing so just because you want to stand against Jonathan. If this is the case, wake up, the elections ended over a year ago and the country is on fire.

So do I #StandWithBuhari? No, I don't, at least not yet...my support is earned, not given.

The Oracle has spoken!!

The Oracle Vs Nigeria's Clergy

Chief Priest! I am vexed at the stupidity of my people! Their stupendous ignorance is irking me!! You have to work harder to get them informed...Due to their ignorance, unscrupulous elements have decided to take advantage of my people. You find such men in government, in the civil and public service, in schools and most unfortunately, in church-which is the area that pains me the most. Now, due to the average Nigerian’s belief (as predominantly Muslims, Christians and idol worshippers) in a supernatural being who knows, sees and has answers to everything; crafty men and women have emerged, who pose as mediators to this Supernatural being. They pose as men and women who can get the supernatural being to solve any given problem which cuts across finance; health; careers; academics; politics…name it! They even get this supernatural being to prevent unfavorable circumstances from befalling their faithful. With the average Nigerian undergoing series of hardship from all corners and t...

Jungle Justice: Before We Become Victims

Jungle Justice can be seen as the extra-judicial punishment meted out on purported criminals. Such punishments are usually mob-induced and weightier than those which a legally constituted court would mete out when a suspect is found guilty after trials. Jungle justice usually results to death in the most gruesome ways.  Jungle Justice shows, blatantly, how uncivilized a society is and, unfortunately, predominantly exists in black communities i.e. Africa and Afro-Caribbean. In Nigeria, over the years, many have been killed and others molested/seriously injured over 'trivial' crime cases. Such cases include:   In Owerri, sometime in 1996, a man who made a living out of stealing light bulbs from people's houses was caught and burnt. In Owerri, sometime in 2004...a famished man stole slices of yam which were being prepared by a commercial cook (Mama Put). He was caught and the cook, who happens to be the wife of a Police officer, provided the fue...

Kai! The Oracle Is Interested In The Female Backside!!

On a recent outing with the Chief Priest, I was surprised to see loads of bare boobs and front-and-back cleavages flying around everywhere... I also noticed young ladies putting on very tight pairs of rubber-like trousers which showed every tiny detail of their lower anatomy and served no other purpose than change the complexion of their limbs and butts. Kai! Oracle you too see ooo "If you gat it, flaunt it"...If you have a big breasts, which are meant for convenient breast feeding; chiputa ha! Display them to the public! If you were blessed with a big pad behind, which is meant for more comfortable long periods of sitting...show the public. But Oracle, these are what men like... Chief Priest, shut up now lest I deal with you!  I'm sorry, Great One... How many of those semi-naked ladies would you proudly take home to your mother? How many would you bring to this Shrine? Most men lust for them and the word 'like' should...
