THE FRACAS SURROUNDING EBORA OWU

THE FRACAS SURROUNDING EBORA OWU.

The whole matter spreading cancerous argument base on obasanjo's press statement calls for much sensitivity and adoption of Shine-your-eyes syndrome amongst Nigerians.

I have read post and articles indicating Obasanjo as a force to be reckoned with in Nigeria politics maybe precisely as a game fixer and a negative quiet disruptor of the polity. Obasanjo is a major element that contributed to the problems of Nigeria right from 1999, when he took over power.

The expectations of Nigerians at large was a transition to change during his era but he nose dived the economy into what it's now. Obasanjo has never had a plan to fix Nigeria right from his khaki era to Agbada era, he has always enriched himself. The argument of, he fixed corruption will come up but it was to exit his enemies from government because "Ole lo mo ipase ole to".

As far as Obasanjo is concerned, he's a force to be reckoned with in DISRUPTING the country with a game plan of reclaiming his godfatherism position, just watch the space.

He co-authored a book titled "Making Africa Work" then I imagined how come such ideas he drafted didn't work in Nigeria talkless of Africa. Did the idea of making Africa work came while doing his PhD? He is an experienced 'toppler' of government during the military era but only changed his pattern of doing such in a democratic country of ours. No wonder he said the election in Zimbabwe where he was an observer was free and fair but was a rigged election.

Ebora of Owu is capable of doing anything but he's not an "Oosa akunle bo" that should receive the sacrifice of cries and sympathy of Nigerians for a change in governance.

Nigerians can garnish a bad brand to good one, corruption to a sincere way of life and that's the current situation we find ourselves as a country where we can't define good from bad.

The open letter he addressed to Buhari is just a game plan to professionally topple the government and getting the agitation and not sympathy of Nigerians to pose a new form of cabal for governance come 2019.

There's a saying in yoruba proverb "Aki i ba oba pala ki oko oba ma san-anni lese" meaning "One doesn't share a farm boundary with a king without getting one's feet gashed by the king's hoe" but as it's Nigerians can and should decide to cross the boundary and do the unusual to save the country from these set of recycled-corrupt leaders and gerontocrats.

The country needs a political therapy and we as Nigerians can be the therapist of change.
